Ender's Game (2013): B *
Movie *
Category: Science Fiction *

Having read and enjoyed the book and some of its sequels, I did not go into this film expecting much. Perhaps this was the key. Perhaps it had been so long since I had read the book that it was not so fresh in my mind that I could readily see the changes and could therefore see it as a film. It was certainly not so fundamentally altered as to be nearly unidentifiable, such as one of my favorite films Starship Troopers. The film did not grip me as completely as the book, certainly. There was not as much emotion in myself, and for that reason it felt a little flat. Plus I knew the twist at the end and was therefore looking for it in the characters throughout. Still, I enjoyed it as a movie and it was certainly watchable. Worth seeing in the theater.
