Epilogue to novel added

Rating: 8/10 (3 November 2013)

Follows the main plot and details of the book fairly closely. Some of the nuances of the novel didn't make it into the film but the movie does justice to the book. There is a PC dimension in the movie that was not in the book.
The novel is a favorite of mine having read it twice. The book plot focuses more on the character's sadness than the movie but the movie gets it. This is decent film but I found the novel more satisfying.
The name of the main character represents an interesting comment on the main objective of the movie's plot. Ender is in training to end a potential threat to the entire population of Earth. Is he able to pass all the tests? Is he up to the task? He is pushed to his limits at a very young age.
One of the significant questions in the movie that was not in the novel is whether our perception of the enemy correct? You decide.
The conclusion is the same except for an epilogue that adds a wrinkle to the story line that I like and allows for a sequel.
The graphics are good.
