Laser tag and video games will save us all

Rating: 6/10 (15 June 2014)

A few downfalls take Ender's Game from good movie to just OK.
Like moths to a flame, bullies are to poor little Ender. Without provocation big lard brained and shrimpy jerks alike must harass Ender. No reason provided.
Second. Bad child acting. Always a danger when the subject is pre-teen heroes. I understand it is part of the beast, just bothers me.
Third point is connected to the second. So I am supposed to believe a bunch of greasy pre-pubescent boys playing video simulations is Earth's only choice for victory? There aren't any qualified, war tested adults (20-30)? Odd. Good help is hard to find I guess...
Fourth point. The kiddies spend hours playing glorified laser tag when ultimately they are being counted on to dispatch fleets of starships and direct them in battle remotely. It's like training for a marathon by taking karate.
Final point. I like the nuggets of wisdom and philosophy on war but at times it felt like I was at a Chinese restaurant opening up fortune cookies. One fortune could be profound, the next could be your lucky numbers and something like "man who stand on toilet is high on pot".
