Best movie I ever saw - and at age 81, that's saying something.

Rating: 10/10 (29 September 2015)

Beautiful, spectacular, stunning sets, action scenes and scripts. A wonderful film and one I have now watched more than two hundred times (I have long-since memorised every speech by every actor}.Although not nearly as faithful to the book as is claimed (the entire spirit of Ender Wiggin is somehow missing from the movie - partly because they excised many battles for financial reasons - and these contained the essence of Ender's character} the film is well able to stand alone on its cinematographic credits.
If you care about the spirit and the real content of the book - i.e. its real message - you will have to read it. Great as the movie is, it manages to entirely miss the point of the book it claims to portray.
I found the first half (battle-room sequences) which were brilliant, much superior to the last half (the space ships were more reminiscent of "Transformers" than anything else). Still, my belief is that if ever a movie deserved a sequel, this is the one. Pity it didn't do better at the box-office.
