Based on Orson Scott Card’s much loved, much debated, sci-fi
novel, many fans of Ender’s Game worried that Gavin Hood’s
adaptation would take liberties with the source material and turn the story into
a big, empty action spectacle. Those fears have mostly been assuaged, as Hood,
who also handled the scripting duties, turns in a film that dwarfs his last
movie, X-Men Origins: Wolverine, in both scale and quality.
There are times when you feel like you’re watching a real classy Starship
Troopers.
