Film adaptation of Orson Scott Card's best novel

Rating: 8/10 (6 January 2015)

So here I am, again, lonely in the deepest night, eating spicy Katsu and one cup of mini gulp in 7 eleven somewhere in Jakarta. It's 2 am, yet so many people here.. Still fresh from watching Ender's Game, so I decided to write this review before I sleep.
Enough with the introduction, here's my review in tldr : Ender's Game is a great movie! Even though I have not yet read the novel, but I think it was a great novel. Let's find some free time to read it.
Basically, the story reminded me of my past military training with Kopassus. There are many scenes of habits in military environment, such as wake up in early morning, preparation in 5 minutes, minding the languages, competition, etc.
It also tell us the character development from cadet into commander. Starting from only a simulation in the tablet, then into real life with zero gravity, until the final simulation to battle with Formics. I think James Kirk should have training like this before he become the captain of Enterprise :P
The battling simulation scene in zero gravity reminds me of last month hot movie: Gravity. Although Gravity wins everything from Ender's Game, but it still fun to watch, especially when Ender's team show us some brilliant tactical strategy ever.
However, the most twisted moment is near the end of the movie, and you will know why the title is Ender's Game. I will not spoil anything here, so just watch the movie if you want more.
Overall, great movie! Although the acting for other characters is a so so, but Harrison Ford and Asa Butterfield shines throughout the movie.
