One of the better book to film adaptations

Rating: 7/10 (14 November 2013)

As a fan of the book, I had some expectations going into this and it didn't disappoint. The first scene sets the tone of what Ender is capable of. His teachers see it in him to be a great leader and do certain things to see how he reacts. This is to determine if he's the one to lead the humans against the alien race.
I wasn't able to see it in 3D but I feel like maybe it would've been even more enjoyable. The cinematography was beautiful to look at including the match arena. The matches themselves were also a joy to watch and Ender is given his own team and he dominates the competition.
They didn't have everything in the movie that was in the book but that's expected and the parts that were cut didn't take away from the story. One small problem I had was the casting of Moises Arias, maybe it's because of what I've seen him in but I didn't buy him being this tough guy, even though in the book the description fits his body type.
Bottom line, if you enjoyed the book you will enjoy the film.
