Absolute trash. Sucks big time.

Rating: 1/10 (11 July 2014)

As a life-long science fiction fan, I looked forward to seeing Ender's Game. But this movie was one of the worst movies I have ever seen. The premise that children would be selected to lead a war machine because they can handle "complex" situations better than adults is so contradictory to common experience that it is insulting as well as ridiculous. Right, like anyone would want a 6-year-old or an 8-year-old to lead, um, *anything*. The major "training" activity, playing laser tag in zero-G, has absolutely no relevance to the skill set needed to achieve the goal of defeating the Formics. Might as well have had the children play a game of flag football or cut out paper dolls. Terrible movie. Even the nonstop, monotonous CGI looked cheap.
