‘Ender’s Game’ starring Asa Butterfield and Harrison Ford – trailer review
15 May 2013 11:19 AM, PDT | The Scorecard Review | See recent Scorecard Review news »
Ender’s Game
Directed by: Gavin Hood
Starring: Asa Butterfield, Harrison Ford, Ben Kingsley
Rating: Not Yet Rated
Release Date: November 1, 2013
Trailer Score: 6/10
Thoughts by Tsr: Despite finding author Orson Scott Card’s personal views very difficult to stomach, I sat down and read “Ender’s Game” last week. Overall I found much of it too repetitive, but I thought the final 60 pages were great. Even though it boasts a solid cast, I haven’t had a lot of interest in this adaptation. That’s mostly due to X-Men Origins: Wolverine director Gavin Hood and producers Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman. Still, after the novel finished strong I was ready to like this trailer. I hardly found it to be outstanding, but it’s a decent two minutes.
While a lot of the slick visuals would be at home in J.J. Abrams’ Star Trek or even something like Len Wiseman’s Total Recall, »

Before all our favorite shows wrap up, we have sneak peeks of the season finales, including Taylor Swift popping up on New Girl. Before the New Girl finale, we counted down the Nick and Jess's cutest moments of the season. Ahead of the upfronts, the networks renewed lots of shows, like Parks and Recreation and Nikita, but there seemed to be just as many cancellations. We told you which songs on The Great Gatsby soundtrack were worth downloading. True Blood season six is coming! The full trailer debuted, as did a bunch of photos. We talked to Divergent author Veronica Roth and got the scoop on the movie adaptation and what she thinks of the casting. Mad Men guest stars have been looking awfully familiar, so we identified them. John Krasinski made the late-night rounds this weekend, first cracking us up on David Letterman, then showing off the most incredible lip syncing skills on Fallon. »

While the anti-gay views of creator Orson Scott Card will do little to help Ender's Game, space adventure Gravity will be aided by cinemagoers' admiration for director Alfonso Cuarón

The received thinking in Hollywood is that science fiction is a risky area of film-making. Nevertheless, studios continue to dip their fingers bravely into the danger zone like poor, doomed Peter Duncan in Flash Gordon. Perhaps it's the success of films such as Avatar, or the eternal popularity of Star Wars and Star Trek, but there seem to be more space-oriented movies around at the moment than there have been since the glory days of the 1970s.
Two teaser trailers hit the internet this week for two very different films, both with a futuristic bent but hailing from as far apart in the sci-fi galaxy as it is possible to travel. Alfonso Cuarón's Gravity, »
