The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2 (2015)

Katniss and a team of rebels from District 13 prepare for the final battle that will decide the future of Panem. (IMDb)

A perfect continuation of the devastating commentary on war from Part 1: uneasy scenes of sinister battle plans and shady propaganda politics intertwine with suspenseful ones of terrifying, exhausting, fruitless warfare (see Katniss’ response to her brief captor) to lead to a fitting anti-climax; there is no joy in victory, only lingering suspicion and pain and further violence simmering beneath the surface (slightly cheesy final scene aside). A satisfying conclusion to a dark dystopian tale.

8.5/10 (Amazing)
