Based on the book of the same name from Orson Scott Wells the film begins in the not-too-distant future, our planet has come under attack from a malevolent race of aliens known as the Formics,. Incredibly, fearless International Fleet Commander Mazer Rackham (played by Ben Kingsley) sent them fleeing back into the stars, becoming a living legend in the process. But decorated Colonel Hyrum Graff (played by Harrison Ford) knows that the Formics will soon return even stronger than they were before, and he's determined to find a new hero who can meet them head on. Enter Ender Wiggin (played by Asa Butterfield) , a modest young man with vast untapped potential. Upon being recruited into Battle School, Ender partakes in a grueling series of simulations, effortlessly mastering every challenge presented to him. Celebrated by his peers and respected by his superiors, Ender is quickly promoted to Command School, where the one and only Mazer Rackham provides him with the knowledge and tools needed to save mankind from certain extinction. As the final battle approaches, Ender prepares to embrace his destiny as one of the greatest heroes in the history of planet Earth.
I thought this movie was ok, it felt really slow and the action wasn't that great. The child actors in the film look like they don't really care about the film but the older actors give really good performances. The final battle of the film is great and this film is a mixture of Starship Troopers and Harry Potter. Overall I give the film a 6.5 out of 10.
So ladies and gentlemen what did you think of Ender's Game, what would you rate it and what did you think of my review? Let me know in the comments and let your voice be heard.
