It’s been a few years and a bumpy ride for heroine Katniss
Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence), but the dystopian teen phenomenon finally wraps
up later this year when The Hunger Games: Mockingjay—Part 2
storms theaters like a horde of rebels attacking a fictional city. Just in case
you forgot how intense this is going to be, this new trailer reminds you of
just that.
Mockingjay—Part 1 is flat, doesn’t ever
build to much, and is primarily prologue to the action in Part
2, but when put together, the two should, hopefully, form one solid
movie. All the pressure, all the posturing, all the revolutionary rhetoric and
propaganda, finally comes to fruition in this film at Katniss, Peeta (Josh
Hutcherson), male Gale (Liam Hemsworth), and the rest of the residents of the
brow-beaten dystopia of Panem finally rise up once and to topple the Capital
and the nefarious President Snow (Donald Sutherland).
Mockingjay, the third book in Suzanne
Collins’ best-selling trilogy, doesn’t have a traditional Hunger Games, but
this trailer goes out of its way to drive home the metaphorical Hunger Games
aspect of the story, just in case you missed that. The book is the weakest of
the trilogy, but we’re optimistic that doesn’t translate to the screen. This
looks like the culmination all of the rebellion, both subtle and obvious, packed
with gorgeous, inventive sci-fi action, and that’s worth getting excited about.
The Hunger Games: Mockingjay—Part 2 rises
up on November 20.
