Ender's Game

 Ender's Game
PG-13 -- IMDB -- 114 min.

I'm trying to remember what I wanted to say after I originally saw this. I have a disclaimer: I haven't read the book, yet. Take that as you may.

What I do remember is being impressed. Really impressed. The first thing I was impressed with was the surrounding. Set or CGI it's pretty. There's always something impressive to look at. I especially liked the "arena" that the kids played their game. Throughout the movie the characters were always in an interesting setting.

I was also impressed by the acting. I liked Asa Butterfield in Hugo so I figured that he would do a good job, I just didn't know how good. This kid has got a future on his hands in Hollywood. There are so many emotions that Ender Wiggin has to go through and I think Asa did an excellent job at portraying all of them. The others actors did a good job. What else would you expect from Harrison Ford and Sir Ben Kingsley?

Since I hadn't read the book I was fairly shocked by the ending. I knew something was going to happen, I just didn't think that. It's a fun movie. It actually has bumped up Ender's Game on my to-read list. That's got to mean something, right?
