Ender's Game blew me away!!

Rating: Null/10 (3 November 2013)

Went to the theatre with low expectations, but Ender's Game blew me away!! It was a great great great story! Even though it was hard to compress a whole book into a 2-hour film, I still felt the depth of the original book, even deeper and more profound I would assume. It was so good my soul was melted in that world. Story! Story! Story! Story is always the number one thing of a movie, all the other things like cinematography, art design, visual effects, even acting can all be secondary, but story can not. Without a good story, the film means nothing! (However, Asa Butterfield's acting was spectacular. Even just a few seconds close-up on his eyes, he was able to express so much information and emotions. Bravo!) I do not see this movie as sci-fi. The whole communicating-with-aliens part was cheesy and even laughable. I think this is a story about humanity and questioning the morality of the universe. Should we change the rules? because the rules do not apply anymore when it comes to a whole another world. Then, what is "right"? what is "wrong"? Or, does it even matter anymore? Great movie. And yes, please watch it on IMAX.
