Ender’s Game
I’m not sure how to approach reviewing Ender’s Game. I should treat it as a movie, but there’s the book. It’s been twenty years since I was steady reading science fiction novels, and Ender’s Game was a favorite from that time. And it’s a good read, a very good read. It’s got that battle school thing going for it. Imagine Hogwart’s but like a first-person shooter. It was the best part of the book, and it showed that how good a tactition Ender Wiggins was. Of course, this was barely shown in the movie, and that’s what’s wrong with the movie. It can’t do the book justice.
It zooms through the more interesting things, gives a few glimpses of the intrigue of the aftermath, and talks, talks, talks, about how good Ender Wiggins is. Show don’t talk. Show.
Read the book. Don’t watch the movie.
2 of 5 stars.
