Good start, but then it gets ruined

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

Also, Ender's Game, Gavin Hood directed it and made the script from the book. I can say many good things about the film, so and I can say negative, which after all didn't destroyed everything.
GOOD:
The movie doesn't want to follow strictly the book. This gives extra thrill and feeling.
Also, all the cast is doing great in their roles, although some places the direction could've been different for more emotion.
The sounds, the Visual Effects and the perspective were on really good level.
Also, they were and small good details, which are awesome.
NEGATIVE:
Some of the choices made for the movie, I think, were bad, and took some parts of the emotion and feeling.
I am giving examples:
1) Bean meeting Ender in the spaceship
2) There had to be more confindent clarification of the plans of the International Fleet and Graff. This would give us a little bit more emotional seeing of the situation.
3) The dialogs in the hall, where Ender comands (without knowing) the fleet. They were little bit... not well.Nevertheless the movie was good, with thrill, which of course had to be there!

In the future Earth is nearly destroyed by an alien race of bug like creatures, but we were saved by a great hero that wasn't Casper Van Dien but Gandhi (Ben Kinsley). Children play video games to see who will become the next war leader. The overly robotic Ender Wiggen (Asa Butterfield) is on the fast track to become that leader, trained by Han Solo (Harrison Ford).The film is magnificent in its graphics. The characters are fairly dry as in too many science fiction films which are theme driven. Written in 1985 the film looks at the "First Strike" debate. Should you attack your enemy first if you believe you are about to be attacked? This was debated in the 1980's and during the 1930's. It became policy in Iraq and is still debated today, the reason why Hollywood chose to make this film now. The film also touches on population control and structural society for the common good.The multiple adult themes have been dummy downed for the young target audience who are surely more enthralled by the computer games than any under lying meaning. If "Ender's Game" reminds you of other modern films it is because they copied from it, or the book upon it was based. In that regard this feature is similar to "John Carter." a film that was not as popular as those it inspired.Worth while viewing for the kids. Adults might find themselves at times bored during the formulaic plot.

The end of the twenty-first century. Humanity is preparing for the second invasion of insect-like extraterrestrial invaders. Ender Wiggin an outsider with a brilliant mind and a difficult character, sent to a military school, where Colonel Graff will make him a savior of mankind, and Ender himself - torn between innate aggression and pacifism. The film is based on the plot of Ender's Game. Author of Orson Scott Card. The film was addressed to the younger generation. The role of Ender Wiggin, an outsider with a brilliant mind and an uneasy character, went to Ace Butterfield, who was remembered for the film The Timekeeper. In my opinion, he coped brilliantly with his role. Harrison Ford, Ben Kingsley and Viola Davis actors who played the role of commanders and mentors. Compared with the book, the role of Harrison Ford is much deeper than it was shown in the film. I really liked the movie. Sci-Fi, future, newcomers. This movie makes you think.
