Brilliant VFX!

Rating: 9/10 (2 November 2013)

Ender's Game is a well paced film with some awesome visual effects, and I don't think it will disappoint fans of the book although some parts of the story are skipped or slightly altered but this is obviously for time reasons. The battle room scenes are very cool and you forget that the actors are all just on wires in front of green screens! Asa Butterfield does a fantastic job of portraying the character of Ender and he is definitely not overshadowed (as some suggested) by the rest of the star-studded cast. The ending of the film was slightly abrupt and it would have benefited from being slightly more exciting, but then I suppose they were just following the book. Great film.
