Definitely not my first time watching these films, but I will scream from the rooftops about how amazing this series is!! Watch the movies, pick up the books - however you find yourself in Panem is worth it. Just prepare for a whole lot of emotions 🥲
- EApril 16, 2025Greatest movie of all time
- RipLinesManApril 29, 2025While Event Horizon (1997) dives into the chilling unknowns of deep space with Laurence Fishburne's no-nonsense Captain Miller and Sam Neill’s increasingly deranged Dr. Weir, Hunger Games grounds its dystopia in a brutal yet personal battle for survival, led by Jennifer Lawrence’s resilient Katniss Everdeen. Both films explore themes of sacrifice, trauma, and humanity pushed to its limits—but in very different arenas: one aboard a haunted starship, the other in a deadly televised arena. Lawrence’s portrayal of Katniss brings emotional weight and moral depth, similar to Fishburne’s stoic leadership under cosmic duress. While Event Horizon leans into psychological horror and sci-fi suspense, The Hunger Games, directed by Gary Ross, builds tension through its societal commentary and the intimate bonds between characters, such as Katniss and her sister Prim, or her complex dynamic with Peeta (Josh Hutcherson). Though they differ in tone—space horror versus YA dystopia—the two films both linger with the viewer. The Hunger Games earns four stars for its compelling performances, especially from Lawrence and Woody Harrelson as Haymitch, and its successful adaptation of Suzanne Collins’ source material. It's not as terrifyingly bleak as Event Horizon, but it’s just as haunting in its own grounded way.
- monicageisen3d agoit's good if you don't read the book.
- Tegu0118June 10, 2025I remember reading well listening to the books on my iPods growing up and knowing this was going to be a really amazing movie!
- The Movie HaterApril 11, 2025I did not enjoy this.
- HumptyFebruary 23, 2025Katniss leads guys on.
- Denis SJanuary 31, 2025This movie could easily have been Ai generated. Pure Hollywood slop written to appeal to the widest audience possible. It just ends up feeling like if Disney tried their hands at Battle Royal. If you're not in the target audience, this is going to be truly painful and excruciatingly boring!
