    Storyline

    Edit
    • Trivia
      The U.S. Marine Corps has Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card on its recommended reading list for officers, saying that it offers "lessons in training methodology, leadership, and ethics as well."
    • Goofs
      Colonel Graff remarks that Napoléon Bonaparte "conquered the known world," which is not untrue. The correct reference should have been Alexander the Great who, it could be said, conquered the known world. This could be accepted as accurate because he did conquer the parts of the world of which Macedonia and nearby regions had knowledge. The wilds of the Far East and of western and norther Europe, as well as central and southern Africa were the stuff of little more than rumor.
    • Quotes

      Ender Wiggin: In the moment when I truly understand my enemy, understand him well enough to defeat him, then in that very moment I also love him.

    An exciting adaptation true to the story
    Ender's Game is not a perfect film. It rushes through certain important points, and leaves out other parts altogether, instead what you get is a flawed but enjoyable movie that ultimately succeeds, because it always keeps its goal in sight.

    Certain things about this movie such as the justification for child soldiers, Ansible Technology, and the Genius of the main group of Kids will be best understood by the book readers.

    The film has wonderful visuals with exciting CGI to showcase the important Battle Room.

    The Acting by Harrison Ford and Asa Butterfield is one of the strengths this project has. They maintain a tense and believable relationship that is very much like the original story.

    Ultimately the climax of this movie and its main message is what sets it apart from many other Sci-Fi films. The emotion is very much there, and anyone willing to give this film a try will not be disappointed.
