elisi | Ender's Game (movie)

In short:

It looks nice. (Except the children are all too old.) References all the important plot points. Sadly it lacks any depth, and skips ahead so quickly you get no feel for the time that's supposed to pass. (It needed more montages!!!) I expect it'll make nice footage for vids, for those that have read the book.

Mostly, I was very disappointed. But then it's an unfilmable book... Wish they'd gone for an extensive voice-over, however, as so many things fell flat because the viewer (without knowing the book) would have no idea about the significance.

And that's that. Not interested in discussing it, and really hope others will like it more. Personally I'll go back to the book.

(Yes I know he's homophobic. It's still a great book.)

ETA: Mark Kermode is a lot kinder. But then he's obviously not read the book.
