Fahrenheit 451 (Score: 2, Insightful) by tempest@pipedot.org on 2014-05-20 16:35 (#1SV) I see a lot of Fahrenheit 451 in society already.

Granted, I haven't seen the 2nd movie (not released on Netflix yet)The "Happy Ending" is when all but one (or two) of the kids are dead? (That's a pretty f**ked up plot resolution)Everyone seems content on playing "the game" instead of fixing the real problemNo one ever seems to be hungryThen again, I hated both Battle Royal movies just as much.

I still think the first movie sucked (they are fighting the wrong enemy), but the 2nd movie did a decent job of recovering the series. I might even go see the 3rd movie while it's recent. :)
