Ender's Reboot

Rating: Null/10 (16 November 2013)

I am a long time fan of Card's work and in anticipation of the book reread pretty much 90% of all the Enderverse material. That being said I was looking for Ender's Game in the "purest" form. What did I get from this movie? Water when I wanted wine.
To me this movie has zero continuity with the book and that left me feeling like I had wasted my time. I do think the actors and the directors did a great job. My main criticism is that the story should have been called something else. Without giving away too much, several main characters were completely changed around (Peter, Bean, Petra, Valentine). This will make future sequels based on books ever further from the book plot line.
My advice if you must see this movie is go in fresh. Don't read the books and don't get invested in characters you will only see "faint" renderings of.
Card and the director both have every right to change whatever they want for artistic purposes. That is fine with me... I'll know next time to save my money.
