PLOT
Unusually gifted kid Andrew "Ender" Wiggin (Asa Butterfield) is sent to an advanced military academy in outer space to prepare for a future alien invasion. He draws the attention of Colonel Hyrum Graff (Harrison Ford) and Major Gwen Anderson (Viola Davis) when he cleverly defeats one of his classmates (Stilson palyed by Caleb J. Thaggard) in a space battle simulation. Ender finds himself often alienated and must overcome incredible pressure from everywhere.
REVIEW
Firstly, I haven't read the book so my opinion is based only on the film itself. What I liked about it is definitely performance by Asa because he was great once again. Visuals were amazing with exciting CGI an the ending (final epilogue) is very good. Negatives. Movies seems rushed and leaves no time for character progression (you have no sense of who any of the characters are) and the growth of friendships. Relationships are just left at the surface level while the story is happening too fast and confusing at times. It could also been even more thought-provokingif you ask me. That being said, the movie falls into average but still quite enjoyable category. 3/5
