Going back to the Games, Katniss and Peeta are introduced to a whole new class of tributes played by some wonderful performers – from Jeffrey Wright to Amanda Plummer to Jena Malone. More than just building on what was established in the first movie, Catching Fire has plenty new to offer and it’s impressive just how much of it the film actually pulls off. It lures you into feeling comfortable with familiar scenarios, situations and characters, but then freely pulls a switch that changes everything. The Hunger Games: Catching Fire deliberately mirrors its predecessor, from the opening scene with Katniss and Gale hunting in the woods to the march towards the Hunger Games, wonderfully and horrifically reflects how the world of Panem has changed since Katniss and Peeta’s victory in the arena. Scheming for a way to permanently take the faces of the rebellion out of the picture, it’s announced that the 75th annual Hunger Games – a special event known as the Quarter Quell – will put previous champions back into the arena. This is bad news for President Snow (Donald Sutherland), however, as the two young champions have managed to spark ideas of revolution in the country of Panem.

Picking up only a short time after the end of the last film, the sequel begins as Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence) and Peeta Mellark (Josh Hutcherson) venture through the 12 districts on a the Victory Tour, “celebrating” their win in the 74th annual Hunger Games.
