Honest adaptation

Rating: 9/10 (2 November 2013)

Saw Ender's game yesterday. Teenage dream come true. It's probably the reason why I had tears in my eyes 4 times during the movie. Yes, I counted. They made it, and it was not a total mess. It was watchable. It was short, yes. It was fast paced and lot of material probably ended on the cutting room floor, or never made into the script, but still. It is close to the Enders's game how I imagined it, and I love it! SPOILER ALERT: the ending and outcome of final battle is monumental, I wish this was the time where it should have ended, with Ender torn, only just with a small pinch of hope, that in the ruins there is a "seed" of destroyed race... that would make a huge finale of the movie. This way it went a bit down with *epicness* of the atmosphere and didn't leave much space for visitor to thing about after leaving the theater.SPOILERS END I don't expect this would earn much money in box office to start a movie franchise. Nor that there is possibility to adapt other books as easily as this one, but it's a honest adaptation of source material, and I applaud the creators for their achievement.
