Well Realized, but Hard to Capture

I always thought Ender's Game would be an unfilmable movie. The story is truly great, but capturing it all is almost impossible. There are some great performances here, especially from the young actors. Ben Kingsley is under-utilized. But overall, I liked it.

I haven't read the book yet, but this movie made me want to read it as soon as I can. Harrison Ford pulls off another great character. A lot of the new actors are good as well for kids. I haven't watched the special features yet but I can't wait to see how the movie was made and hear the actors talk about their roles.

I thought this was a very well-done movie. I've enjoyed many of the end or books and was excited to see it adapted to film. Harrison Ford was an excellent choice as grass. And I thoroughly enjoyed Ben Kingsley as Maser Rackham. It was a nice fast paced fun movie. I watched it with my 11-year-old and we both enjoyed it

This is a great scifi movie. The 4K blueray is exceptional in picture on a 75" Sony and great 7.1 surrround sound. I am looking forward to nearing it in Dolby Atmos. It is great for the whole family. It keeps your attention from beginning to end. The conclusion is not predictable.

This movie is a very nice adaptation of its novel. Its smart, scientific, and stunning to look at. It is a very nice film that will leave you at the edge of your seat and will be left pondering afterwards on the deep message is sends to you

This movie with some twists may not be for everyone but I enjoyed it and the concept behind it. As a gamer I looked at the events in a different view than my spouse and made for interesting conversation during the film.

Check that discount bin, sometimes there are great movies in there.
Ender's Game was well done, and in the discount bin was a great deal. Great movie that will be one of the first three shown in the new theater room.

This movie for a person that has not read Orson Scott Cards Ender Series of books would be just enough, however from the perspective of the book, characters were not developed enough. Sequel is definitely in order but more than likely never to occur.

Great movie liked it enough to watch again. Harrison Ford was great in his role and all of the children were as well. The visuals along with the concept of the movie were unbelievable I would most definitely recommend this movie to friends and family

Kids learning to fight a war with aliens learn to be tough. Ender is guided by his instructors to develop his strengths and battle strategies. He is forced into isolation from his fellow students and made to exert his leadership skills. Twist ending.

Good movie. Took years to be able to move this from the written page to video. Includes Blu-Ray, DVD, and digital copy (code “ may not be valid after 2/11/15”). Lots of special features. Got it at a great price.

Overall, it's a good movie, good graphics and good plot. The movie was different than the trailer makes it seem but it's still pretty good. If you're a scifi or action person, then you'll like this movie. Looks like there will be a part 2 by the way

We both thought it was interesting, great special effects and battle scenes were well done. Movie was very entertaining but didn't follow the book in many aspects. I recommend reading the book first, then watch the movie.

I can't speak for how well it stacks up to the book, but I enjoyed the movie. The end was great. It's refreshing to see compassion in a war setting. I got this from the bargain bin, and it was worth the purchase.

Not a bad sci-fi movie, worth watching mainly because of Harrison Ford and a few other actors. A bit tongue in cheek or cheesy during parts, but overall pretty good. I watch movies mainly for just the entertainment and relaxing value they provide.

Figured it was time to pick this movie up in 4K. Price was to good to pass on. I also get a 4K digital copy and give my kids the blu-ray.

Enders Game is an incredible novel. The parallel plots and subtle subject matters make it a very deep and thought provoking. The movie is fun, with beautiful scenes. But that's it.The magic that made you think in the book is gone in the movie.

From my recollection it matched the original novel very well. Obviously some things were skipped but otherwise movie would have been way too long. Book spent much more time both on Battle School by itself and on the self learning computer game that Ender played so well. Very nice graphics good acting.
