Yes, I was one of the ones who helped this movie surpass all of the "Twilight" openings. And, I enjoyed the movie.

But, the shaky camera motion is something I abhor in a movie. It makes me motion sick and I leave the theater (every time) with a massive, nauseated headache.

So, I decided to find out a bit about the reason it was shot this way...

Director Gary Ross talked about The Hunger Games in a recent interview with Vulture.

Vulture - "Let’s talk about the look of this movie. You employed a lot of shaky handheld, and there aren’t a lot of wide shots. How did you come up with that approach?"

Gary Ross - "Well, I mean, I tried to do what the book did."

Well alright then! THAT explains everything.

So, to anyone who plans to go see it-if you are like me, easily sickened by shaky camera action (think "The Blair Witch Project" or "Paranormal Activity" you may want to wait this one until the DVD comes out. If you are watching it at home, you can press pause and come back to it. Personally, I did not want to miss any of the movie so I stuck it out.
