Trailer is the essence

Rating: 6/10 (8 November 2013)

If you saw only the trailer is more than enough. The rest of the story is just a filler done with military training clichés which don't fit at all when the subjects are children, even if teenagers. It just didn't feel right for me and I wasn't convinced at all. The supposedly smart moments and training scenes to justify Enders so called super qualities to make him "the one" are average at most if not trivial. The only aspect where this movie shines are the CGI special effects, which you can see in... the trailer.
I am a SF and special effects fan but I will give this one just an average overall with a 6/10.
