I read the book first before watching the movie and I think that for the most part, this movie represented the book as well as you could within the confines of a two hour movie. Considering there is no other adaption of this source material I think this movie did the book justice. Sure, there were quite a bit of sub story-lines removed but that is understandable when your adapting a book into a movie. I believe that the movie got the major essential portions of the book right, to tell the complete story of the Ender's Game. I think in time people's resistance to the movie will fade and they will realized that the movie did the book justice. I see people are talking about some scenes are rushed which is true, but if we see it from Ender's point of view, he was always isolated from the emotions of others throughout book, and I think the movie represented that well. The visual effects within the movie is simply top notch, which I see most people won't even mention, and it deserves a discussion, because it could have been way worst instead it was done masterfully. In my opinion I enjoyed this movie even after reading the book before watching the movie! I would hope that the team can get back together to bring us the rest of tetralogy. What do you think?
