Move Night
Midweek Edition. Ender's Game.
I simply love the book. It might well be my all time favorite non-science SF book. I was avoiding the movie. I was especially avoiding it after I saw the trailers. I simply didn't want another action adventure movie in the face of a book that is almost entirely character development. Damn you, Netflix. :)
So we watched it last night. Certainly the movie left out essentially all the sub-plots. And it just couldn't focus on the Ender's emotional development or the movie would have been six hours long.
They did a credible job, however, of getting the main point across. And Harrison Ford.
It was not the book. It was, however, good. It gets a 3 out of five. Yes, I am surprised.
