The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping reactions call the film "exhilarating" and compare it to Rogue One and Andor

First reactions to The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping are in, and they're very positive.

The new film is a prequel to the original trilogy of movies and follows Haymitch Abernathy, eventual mentor of Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark, when he is forced to compete in the Second Quarter Quell – a deadlier version of the Hunger Games to mark their 50th year.

Early viewers are praising the film's themes, its lead performance from Haymitch actor Joseph Zada, and the visual style.

"#TheHungerGames Sunrise on the Reaping is the Rogue One/Andor of the franchise," says critic Griffin Schiller. "A sobering, yet powerful story of devastating loss and the necessary cost of rebellion for a sunrise we may never see. As a massive fan of the series and especially this book, I couldn't have asked for a more perfect adaptation. Francis Lawrence beautifully captures the invigorating spark of revolution and the tragedy of Haymitch's journey, culminating in a resounding gut punch."

"The Hunger Games franchise remains a favorite. THE HUNGER GAMES: SUNRISE ON THE REAPING rocks a ton of stunning craftsmanship, yet another phenomenal cast, and an exhilarating narrative that serves as a powerful reminder that nothing is inevitable and it is possible to break a bad machine," says Collider's Perri Nemiroff.

"One of the biggest highlights? Joseph Zada," she continues. "I had high hopes for him after watching We Were Liars, but he had my jaw on the floor time and time again during Sunrise on the Reaping.
