Trying to capitalize on the Hunger Games fame, and they're just not compelling stories or characters. To me, anyway.

Well it was produced by the same people—Lionsgate. I thought that at first and refused to see it. It wasn't until I rented it last summer.
The only thing like the Hunger Games is the genre. They're both dystopias. I don't see that as being copycat, especially when the writer who came up with the idea when she was younger before Hunger Games. She wrote the first draft her last year as a creative writing major.
What I liked about this one was that it wasn't as harsh or edgy as the theme in the Hunger Games which is where it's different. I mean kids killing kids? I loved that this one was just under the surface, and that they accept their world. ( at first) and it slowly reveals. The character Four is like that too. Their world is closer to ours unlike the world in the Hunger Games. I absolutely loved the psychological aspects with the simulations. I thought that was really creative and made it different too. And I liked the idea of the factions, which may have been done before in other movies but I haven't seen those.
No they're different but only the same in that they're both dystopias.
