Ender is a slight fragile teenager with the expanding mind of a genius. His brother, the brute jock, is violent and only sees through strength and brutality. His sister the kind and compassionate one sees only through an affected sense of contact. Ender is a third child in a population overloaded world that is reeling from the previous war with the alien race of insectivorous beings who work and behave like the ants nest, the Formics. Having been brought in to being by loving parents who gained permission for his birth, Ender feels he is not only unwanted but excess baggage to the world. However, his mind is his strength. He is gifted with the ability to become his aggressor and think like his aggressor thus giving him the key to the aggressor as he learns to love them through their frailty - using this to exploit them and thus destroy them. This ability is seen by those old men solidified in their ways, who have no flexibility in their thinking anymore, and exploit Ender to achieve their own ends. But at what cost, and to whom? In the near future, a hostile alien race has attacked Earth. In preparation for the next attack, the highly esteemed Colonel Graff and the International Military seek to find a future leader who can save the human race. Ender Wiggin, a shy but strategically brilliant young mind, is recruited to join the elite, where he's trained to lead his fellow soldiers into an epic battle that will determine the future of Earth. The author of this book fought Hollywood for 25 years …hoping to make his movie true ..he failed and sadly so did Hollywood.<br/><br/>The author held out to make this about children ( failed ) the movie tried to combine 2 wonderful books .. "Enders Game" and "Enders Shadow" a series about Bean who had 2 mentions at best in the movie. An all around typical Hollywood studio enforcer Fail .. Character development is not a mention of their name on the screen …..in conclusion they tried to make it the "Hunger Games" in Space but there are no characters to latch onto to feel anything about…………………sigh read the books …they are good and more entertaining. The fact that I'd take the time to review the movie version of a book that I wasn't particularly fond of should speak for itself. Yes, I've read the book, which in most cases I think ruins your suspension of disbelief when it comes to the film version, but in this case it was the only way I would understand the plot of the film. The film took off rapidly and immediately grabs Ender and pulls him from his special Earth based school and pushes him into military school on an space station. We get a brief moment to see that he is, I guess, supposed to be very close to his sister while having a horrible and abusive relationship with his older brother. I personally didn't get anymore out of it than his brother was a bully (much is left to desire after knowing how psychotic and much of a sociopath the character of his brother is in the book). Ender is whisked off the military school where I guess he does well? We miss out on countless battles described in the books that show how Ender continuously outsmarts his contemporaries and superiors. He's boosted from one position from the next for seemingly showing a slight amount of ingenuity in battle. Again, it's kind of hard to tell. I really wasn't sure what was supposed to be going on in the first battle, all I know is that it made his commander look bad for some reason. Ender should have friends that he gains during this time, people who look up to him and who he might hurt mistakenly. We get introduced to them vaguely. Honestly, I really don't car about anyone in this movie at this point. He has some kind of almost romantic thing happening with Petra, but again, I don't care about either of these characters. I've been given no real reason to. They haven't been developed, Ender only vaguely so, but I don't care about this dude or anyone he meets. Whatever, then he gets to command his own group, then suddenly Ender gets in a fight and injures another kid and he's like "no I don't want to do this", but then they let his sister visit him and she's like "Ender you totally have to do this", and Ender is like "Okay, I guess I go back in do it because you're my sister and we're supposed to be close and stuff". Seriously, that's what I got from it. Ender is then whisked off to a space station on an asteroid for his final Commander training. We meet the guy who defeated the bad guys they last time the attacked. Wait, this dude is still alive? If he's so great then why isn't he commanding the armies to take down the baddies? I don't know, it's never explained. Then all of Ender's old "friends" show up to be his special command team. I have to emphasize again, I don't care about these kids. They showed up to help and I'm like, whatever. You could have disappeared for the rest of the movie and I wouldn't have realized it BECAUSE NONE OF YOU WERE EVER Developed AS CHARACTERS. Ahem, excuse me I got a little out of control. Ender fights his final simulations in order to graduate command school and then win and stuff, yay whatever. And then they're like, "No Ender, that was real, you killed the bad guys" and Ender is like "What, I wiped out a species I'm so sad". Why do we care? All we've really been shown is that these dudes attacked us first so we just got them before they could get us again. But Ender is sad saying we might have been able to communicate with them. I haven't been given any reason to empathize with any human characters so far, so you can bet that I have absolutely no empathy for the aliens at this point. Who cares? Seriously? Yes, this is a synopsis coupled with a review, but this film took no time to develop any of its characters it jumped into what was supposed to be excitement, but what was really just confusing battle (I guess?) sequences. I know these characters from the book, they have personalities, they're interesting. I have no idea who any of them are in the movie. I don't even care about Ender, I don't know why I should care about his sister short of the fact that she's his sister. There is an entire side story between Ender's brother and sister that are ignored in the film. The plot is muddled, action scenes are confusing, and the characters are completely forgettable. Let me remind you, I didn't even like the book. So shame on you film executives. This starfighter-recruit blockbuster is refreshingly idea-driven. The film storyline may turn out to be a fusion between 'Ender's Game' and its parallel novel 'Ender's Shadow', focusing on the important elements of both. Technically speaking, both books take place at exactly the same time, and they both focus on the same events at the Battle School, but from the points of view of two different characters. a5c7b9f00b Sandbox full movie download in hindi hdPerson of Interest full movie download mp4malayalam movie download Episode 1.14download full movie Two Gun Justice in hindihindi Color BlindFear Factor full movie hindi downloadWar for the Planet of the Apes movie hindi free downloadMade in Abyss tamil pdf downloadAll the Wrong Moves online freeThe Cyclist download movies
