Review of Ender's Game (2013) by Daniel V — 29 Jun 2015

Serious-minded sci fi which poses big questions about war...and peace. It's all pretty thought-provoking and the performances are generally good but it was a little cold and emotionless - at least until the end; we don't really get much sense of the characters so it's hard to feel for them.

The visuals are up to the usual standard nowadays but the whole thing looks very much like a video game (which is sort of is!). It made me want to read the novel, which probably gives the extra depth and background the film lacked.

I did enjoy it though.
