Jennifer Lawrence stars as 16-year-old Katniss Everdeen, a citizen of the totalitarian post-apocalyptic country of Panem, formerly the United States. Every year, the all-powerful ruling agency known as the Capitol selects one boy and one girl from each of Panem's 12 impoverished rival districts to fight to the death on live national television in a contest known as 'The Hunger Games', in which the winner is given food to feed their entire district for a year. When her younger sister Primrose (Willow Shields) is selected as a contestant, Katniss steps up to take her place in the match. Under the tutelage of inebriated former champion Haymitch Abernathy (Woody Harrelson), Katniss goes into training for the fight of her life. Review: An arrow right through you - will make a great impact! - The Hunger Games Based on Suzanne Collins best selling book trilogy, The Hunger Games stars Jennifer Lawrence as Katniss Everdeen who volunteers to take part in the Capitol's annual Hunger Games, a game show where contestants fight to the death. I postponed seeing this film as long as possible. I had finished the first two novels (which are both fantastic and readable in a matter of days if you're stuck for something to read) but I checked the film out and when the opening starts and we're thrust into the world of District 12, I was shocked. The opening is something remarkable. It's great if unyielding from the truth of their poverty. District 12, run down where residents struggle for food and to make a living, but Katniss and her friend Gale (Liam Hemsworth) find escapism in their hunting. And when Katniss' sister is nominated for the games we see Jennifer Lawrence show why she is currently the most promising actress of these last 5 years. Lawrence was a great choice to play Katniss. The character in the books is quite unusual, quite solemn but with hidden desires and energy that the young actress excels at. Her on screen peak is with Rue when in the arena, a heart wrenching exhilarating piece of acting combined with opportunistic film pacing. The film starts slowly getting into the feel of the poverty of the districts but as viewers, when we see the world of the Capitol and see how perfect, classy and snobbish everything is we feel the pace pick up and we are right there with the contestants, in a world the Capitol controls where these young fighters have little say in their destiny. The first book is very imaginative and is very well brought to the screen by director Gary Ross. The excitement and adrenaline really starts pumping when the arena is introduced. The resemblance to the events of the book is spot on, if not better. Katniss' independent tracking and thirst for survival are well shot, especially during the Trackerjacker sequences. The best part of the entire film is when Katniss is with Rue, the excitement and emotion in these scenes are fantastic and it's hard to express how well this works in developing their characters and holding the film and the rest of the story together. When reading the books I had concerns over how Collins was working the romance angles, being a bit like Twilight with the love angles but this is nothing like that series. This is something calmer, less intense in terms of love and lust. Peeta (Josh Hutcherson) may be viewed differently by people. As the stories progress his character changes and Hutcherson portrays him very well and strikes up a good partnership with Lawrence that resembles their respective adaptations. There are a few minor lapses and improvements. I only wish the fire sequence was a bit longer as it was in the book. Seeing Woody Harrelson as Haymitch was rather strange at first but it would have been great if he was included more during certain scenes! This film is a great adaptation of a great book. The imagination Suzanne Collins has been wonderfully adapted for the screen with her vivid and controversial environment and ideas and with excellent performances, particularly from Jennifer Lawrence, the Hunger Games is a must watch. 9/10 Review: ​A family movie night that was... a little on the lean side. - ​We rented "The Hunger Games" for a family movie night, and overall, it was a fantastic, action-packed film that kept us on the edge of our seats. Jennifer Lawrence is amazing as Katniss, and the world-building is top-notch. It's a gripping story about survival, and it sparked some really great conversations with the kids afterward about courage and doing the right thing. ​My only minor con is that the snacks we made disappeared suspiciously fast. I guess when you're watching a movie called "The Hunger Games," it just makes you... hungry. But seriously, it's an intense, well-made film that's a great choice for older kids and teens. Highly recommend! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00CCE6VTG | | Actors | Elizabeth Banks, Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, Liam Hemsworth, Stanley Tucci | | Aspect Ratio | 16:9 - 1.78:1 | | Country of origin | United Kingdom | | Customer reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (9,813) | | Director | Gary Ross | | Is discontinued by manufacturer | No | | Item model number | 5060223768779 | | Language | English (Dolby Digital 5.1) | | Media Format | PAL | | Number of discs | 1 | | Producers | Jon Kilik, Nina Jacobson | | Product Dimensions | 1.5 x 19 x 13.5 cm; 70 g | | Release date | 16 April 2013 | | Run time | 2 hours and 22 minutes | | Studio | Lions Gate Home Entertainment UK Ltd | | Writers | Billy Ray, Gary Ross, Suzanne Collins | ## Product Details - **Colour:** Colour - **Format:** PAL - **Genre:** Action & Adventure, Science Fiction - **Runtime:** 2 hours and 22 minutes ## Images ![The Hunger Games - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/8111nac9ORL.jpg) ![The Hunger Games - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/819InmBj5+L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An arrow right through you - will make a great impact! *by S***Y on 22 January 2013* The Hunger Games Based on Suzanne Collins best selling book trilogy, The Hunger Games stars Jennifer Lawrence as Katniss Everdeen who volunteers to take part in the Capitol's annual Hunger Games, a game show where contestants fight to the death.

Highly recommend! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Entertaining sci-fi rite of passage movie. *by W***E on 6 January 2013* Think teen "Running Man" meets "I'm a non-celebrity get me out of here" with shades of "Logan's Run" and "Metropolis" and you're pretty close to summarising this film. The reality show format for a sci-fi rite of passage tale is an interesting take on an old theme and, despite its obvious heritage, it works very well and feels fresh and original. Set in a post apocalyptic world where a number of `districts' have been subjugated by a vast & powerful city state, the Hunger Games are an annual event where two children are taken from each district for a gladiatorial entertainment contest and to serve as a punishment for the districts following a revolt against the city seventy four years ago. The contrast between the poverty of the districts and the opulent, decadent city serves as a splendid backdrop to the action and the entire film is engaging, the pace is almost relentless and it is surprisingly absorbing; in the two hour and twenty minute duration there is never a dull moment. The ending, however, is a little bit disappointing. There is ultimately no moral to the tale and the underlying message seems to be that conforming to the norm and maintaining the status quo is the goal; striving for change just isn't worth the effort. Perhaps, however, that is the whole point so it could actually be a clever commentary on the superficiality of modern life. Either way, this is a very entertaining and enjoyable film. The cast are great, the action never stops and the whole flashy package is smartly executed. Excellent stuff. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Hunger Games [DVD] - The Hunger Games: Catching Fire [2013] - The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2 [DVD] [2015] --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vn/products/50514837-the-hunger-games](https://www.desertcart.vn/products/50514837-the-hunger-games) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vietnam* *Store origin: VN* *Last updated: 2026-04-26*
