Enders Game

Enders Game, based on the novel by Orson Scott Card, stars Asa Butterfield as Ender Wiggan, a shy but brilliant teenage boy who is being trained up to command earths army against an alien race. General Graff (Harrison Ford) is convined that Ender is the boy who will save humanity. 

I found Enders Game to be a very interesting story, with Asa Butterfield putting in a superb performance as Ender, the shy awkward kid, who is a master tactician, Harrison Ford also is superb.

The storyline is interesting, and the characters have a lot of depth, although I did spot the twist on the end coming quite early on, but was never bored as the film held the attention well throughout.

My only issue with this movie is Hailee Steinfeld, who's performance is about as wooden as her portrayal of Juliet.

Something for everyone, Sci-Fi fans will enjoy it, and those who like stories with lots of human emotion will also find lots of things to like in it. A great watch 9/10
