Crap movie from an apparently crap book

Rating: 4/10 (2 February 2014)

OK, i have not read the book, but after seeing this movie, i will stay away from that too! Don't get me wrong, movie is great in terms of production value, CGI and all that, it is the idea that is crap
Apparently it is the genocide idea which has gotten everyone going gaga about the book and the movie, but lets consider the synopsis(and the book)
You have the fate of human race at stake after a conflict with an interstellar alien race of ants So what do u do??? yapp, u get a bunch of 12 year old kids and put them in charge of an intergalactic battle fleet! After training them for the whole 28 days(who said u needed years of experience to command a battle fleet, nope, here we do it in 28 days, why??? No one knows, apparently the ants were not invading)
Anyone seeing something wrong in this?? Nope, OK, guess it is just me
How the hell did they get harrison ford and ben kingsley to go along with this is beyond me!
I am a die-hard sci-fi fan and i go along with most things in sci-fi movies, so i am not gonna even take up stuff like how did these ants get to build interstellar spaceships when the colony planet shows nothing of their advanced technology, but this movie and the book behind it is right up on my sci-fi crap list along with Travoltas Battlefield earth
Still the effects are good and the movie is well produced, it just leaves u with a feeling of " How stupid these guys think i am ??"
