Based on the best-selling, award winning novel, “Ender’s Game” is an epic adventure which is set in the near future where Earth has just barely survived a war against an alien race called the Formics. To be sure that devastation won’t happen again, International Military with Colonel Hyrum Graff (Harrison Ford) in the lead, has been recruiting and training the best young minds. Ender Wiggin (Asa Butterfield whom we can remember from a movie “Hugo”) is one of them, a remarkably brilliant boy. He’s trained by Mazer Rackham (Ben Kingsley) to lead soldiers into an epic battle and save the humans.

After winning the 74th Annual Hunger Games Katniss Everdeen (played by an Oscar winning actress- Jennifer Lawrence) returns home along with her duo tribute Peeta Mellark ( Josh Hutcherson), but not for a long time. Winning means that they must leave everything again and go on a “Victor’s Tour’ of the districts. While they’re on their way, a rebellion is getting bigger, but the Capitol is not going to give up that easily, President Snow prepared a new surprise for our heroes – the 75th Annual Hunger Games with a group consisting of past victors.

The final story of most anticipated franchise is up to come the next year, just like ‘Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows’ and ‘Twilight: Breaking Dawn, “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay” will be split in to two movies and will be starring Jennifer Lawrence and Josh Hutcherson.
