Well made garbage

Rating: 1/10 (14 June 2014)

Technically this movie looks great, and even some of the performances weren't' that bad.
Of course, the problem was that it relied on Orson Card's dreadfully turgid prose for its main plot, and being that there are enough loyalists out there, they really couldn't deviate far from it.
So what you have is a movie that drags on for an hour and a half about the training, and all of 10 minutes about the war.
Making matters worse, of course, is that somehow they got Harrison Ford to phone in his line. EVery line he speaks in the movie is done with this flat affect like he doesn't even care about the movie he is in.
Thankfully, this movie flopped horribly and we won't be seeing any of Card's even more tedious sequels made into films.
