It's not quite like the book for better or worse but Ender's Game delivers an entertaining mix of sci-fi action and strong performances from a great cast.

If this movie was created 10 years ago, this could be one of my favorites.

'Ender's Game' is smarter than the average sci-fi. This military based film is entirely focused on strategy. There is a central theme of choices faced when preparing to eradicate one's enemy that is sought through to the end. The emotional aspects of the main character could've been explored more. This area of the film felt predictable, but the warfare didn't. The in-battle strategizing mixed with awesome effects creates situations of both intrigue and spectacle. The finale is surprising in it's resolution. It's not the typical 'happy victory' one would assume. Having not read the popular novel it is based on, I cannot say how it compares. I found the experience satisfying in ways I would not have expected.

Good, but not great. On the plus side good special effects and very good acting, and it's always cool to see Harrison Ford in a science fiction movie. On the negative side, not a lot of action and a head scratcher of an ending.

I have never read the book so I went in blind and came out feeling "it was Okay".
