"the film stars Asa Butterfield as Andrew "Ender" Wiggin, an unusually gifted child who is sent to an advanced military academy in outer space to prepare for a future alien invasion"-Wikipedia
Strangely enough, I actually enjoyed this film on certain levels. It one of the better movies that have been released that were based on books. It's not the best film of all time, but it might entertain you for one sitting. The film does have good acting, especially from the young Asa Butterfiled. Also Viola Davis, Ben Kingsley, Harrison Ford, Abigail Davis, and more. You really can't ask for a better supporting cast, so it leaves you to wonder why this film fails.
My finger is pointed towards the director, editor, and screenwriter. Lucky for me, the director and screenwriter are the same person. Gavin Hood was also the director of X-Men Origins: Wolverine. I found the movie to be too short and edited in the wrong way. I will suggest that you skip this film as it is a bad film and they are doubtful about a sequel.
2/5
Little Info
This book the film is based on was written by a very controversial man and the film was boycotted by several LGBT groups as the original author is very vocal about his dislike of same sex relationships.
