Having read a few of the other reviews, all I can conclude is that people who have read the book are blind to how gosh darn AWFUL this film was. It was the first time I had been to the cinema in a good year, and it made me hate everything in the world.
Highlights of the film 1. Harrison Fords love of windows 2. When that kid fell out of his bunk bed 3. When Ender insulting a classmate made all his peers join him for dinner 4. The acting was, in a word, poor 5.Everything was a cliché. Literally everything. Nothing was new, it was all just re-hashing with bright lights 6. We didn't even see an alien until the last 5 minutes, 7. 0-70mph with no character development 8.Was this whole film just some kid, who everyone SAID was a genius,(but actually just made decisions we all could have, given time) training to be some kind of super leader, and his tactic is kill all his men (even if they are drones) to commit genocide? Was that a moral?
Within five minutes of this starting me and my friends were laughing, and the laughs didn't stop. I guess the best I can say is that this film was entertainingly awful (I do love Steven Segal), but I would never watch it again. If this is a close adaptation of the book then I am never going to read this book ever ever. I would rather go blind.
score 1/10
