Boot camp for nerds!

Rating: 1/10 (28 January 2014)

This is one of those coma-inducing films. As tedious as watching C-Span...
People should stop calling this garbage science fiction. What we have in this film is a bunch of boring kids trying to survive some sort of military school or a futuristic boot camp. They sprinkle the garbage with some special effects, a little of technobabble, some run-of-the-mill evil alien monsters, add heavy weight actors such as Ford and Kingsley and wrap the final product with a juvenile love story and, bang, we have Ender's Game.
This a story that has been told million of times before (the superation, the fish out-of-water, the leader in the making, etc.), in different settings, eras, countries, etc... There is nothing new here. It is another eye-candy type of film that is totally forgettable.
It was not worth the price of the admission ticket
