Ender's Game
The upside to sending children to war is you save money on smaller coffins.
Mind you, the military in this sci-fi movie is more motivated by young people's instinct.
Recruited by the International Fleet to join Earth's battle against an alien threat, 15-year-old Ender (Asa Butterfield) is touted by Colonel Graff (Harrison Ford) and Major Anderson (Viola Davis) as a born tactician.
The prodigy bit, however, doesn't sit well with the other cadets and Ender is immediately ostracized.
Eventually he makes friends (Hailee Steinfeld, Aramis Knight, Suraj Parthasarathy) and surpasses everyone in the anti-gravity war games.
Commanding his own squadron, Ender must now endure one final exercise to ultimately set about his destiny.
Based on the award-winning book, this adaptation may alter its source material but it delivers in weightless action and provocative concepts about combat.
Furthermore, we can use that gamer acumen to finally kill that giant barrel-tossing gorilla.
