Mockingjay pt. 2's Samsung Event

Last weekend I went to Best Buy.  Lionsgate had announced that most Best Buys were osting the opportunity to watch the final trailer for Mockingjay pt. 2, as well as trying out a virtual reality device and app.  I had called my local Best Buy and they said they would have it available.  So, I went.

I showed up a little early, and was told I would have to wait for the Samsung representative to arrive. I waited somewhere else for about 45 minutes and went back.  I'd heard about some fans having trouble with the promotion, such as employees not knowing about it, etc.  I had a good experience.  The rep said she didn't have the VR equipment, and that was fine with me.  There was an app, but it didn't seem to do much.  I didn't mind that, either.  The rep showed me how to play the trailer.

The trailer was great.  There wasn't a whole lot of new footage, just small extensions to scenes we had watched before.  There were small moments that make you jump.  One small line stood out for me where Katniss says to some people, "Stop killing for him!", meaning President Snow.  Several of my Twitter friends loved the line, too, and we were dying to mention it to everyone else, but we waited.

I was able to watch it a few times, and I got two posters that they were giving away.


I'm so glad I got to do this.  And, I can't wait for the film.

PS: they released the trailer yesterday.
