As Panem prepares itself for the third 'Quarter Quell' (75th Hunger Games), autocratic ruler President Coriolanus Snow (Donald Sutherland), still smarting from the Capitol's humiliation in the last games, stacks the deck to ensure that the upcoming tournament will wipe out any resistance from the districts once and for all.

Review: A great looking steelbook for a great collection of films - This arrived today (release date) and I'm really pleased with it. The case size is the same as a normal steelbook which surprised me as I was expecting it to be bigger, this means it'll fit into my collection nicely. The magnetic cover is actually the size of the steelbook case (unlike the marvel ones which are smaller than the case) and, being different from the cover of the case, gives you a unique piece of artwork for it. As for the number of discs issue, yes there are "only" 4 discs, 1 for each movie. But when I read it was the Complete Collection that's what I expected. If I was looking for the bonus discs to be included I'd be looking for a Complete 'Edition' or an 'Ultimate Edition' of it. But lets face it, if you are buying this, its probably because you like the movies, and this has all the movies. It also has a really nice case. What else are you actually looking for? Review: Good to watch - Great series
