With a little more than a month to go until it finally hits theaters,The Hunger Games: Catching Fire countdown has officially kicked into high gear. And while the flick's official trailer first made the internet rounds way back in the summer, the latest installment of Suzanne Collins' trilogy has just landed its very first TV spot. Get ready, because it's a doozy.

If you've read the books, then you know everything that follows The Games is a total whirlwind. But chalk it up to Coldplay's "Atlas" soundtrack, Effie Trinket's tears, or just the awkwardness between Katniss and Gale, this one-minute teaser just became even more emotional than you'd ever expect. And that's not even touching on the incredible costumes and Katniss's makeup--two key details that ensure that this movie is going to be even bigger and more extravagant than the first.  

Seriously, don't just take our word for it....watch The Hunger Games: Catching Fire preview below and tell us what you think.
