[Movie] Ender's Game

Ender's Game is a 2014 science fiction movie based on the same novel. The movie is directed by Gavin Hood, and the thing is, this movie is also produced by Orson Scott Card, no other than the novel's writer himself. Wow, that would make it interesting, yes? Its actually kind of rare for the original novel writer to influence the making of the movie. Usually the story plot would just be told to a bunch of script writers and they would urmm 'adjust' the story to meet the audiences expectation.

So that is why the day when the movie trailer came out, I was excited. I am a fan of sci-fi novels, and Ender's Game series is one of them. Not to mention this movie is also starred by my favorite actors, Harrison Ford and Ben Kingsley, along with the rising star of Asa Butterfield, Abigail Breslin, and Hailee Steinfeld.

You would probably be wondering whether this movie is aligned with the novel's plot. In my opinion, in a way, yes. By now we all must understand that some adjustment is required in the movie because, you know, some stuff that is written in the book is not something that easily replicate in real life even if today technology allow CGI and all of that fancy stuff. In this case, Ender's Game is more about of the characters development, that I'm sure it is actually pretty hard to achieve in a movie, due to the time restraint.

But is the movie good. Does it live up to every Enders fan's expectation out there? What about the spaceship battle and all of those explosions?

Books: Ender's Game

Have you watched the Ender's Game movie trailer? Kind of confusing right? Exactly, what is the movie's premises at all? Ender stands for the kid's name, and the story is about a kid who played the game, hence the title Ender's Game. But the game itself is not named nor developed by Ender. He merely played the game. The game, that will decide the fate of all humanity.

Of course I haven't watched the movie, are you crazy? The release date for the movie to the nearest cinema is 1st November 2013, which is the next 4 month. But I did watched the trailer, and I was intrigued. Not to mention the sneak peek trailer had shown Harrison Ford and Ben Kingsley. The movie was based on a novel series, a science fiction novel series. Which is exactly my favorite preference on novel series.

So I spend a few day looking exactly which book did this movie belong to. I once got my hand on the I Am Legend, I, Robot and The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, and those weren't bad at all. Seeing that there is some spaceship and explosion all over the places, it could be another good read while I'm waiting for the next Horus Heresy series.
