Argh. This looks disappointing. What a pity that this appears to be just another fairly pedestrian and surface-level Hollywood adaptation of a great book, all spectacle and no content. I'm particularly disappointed that they're using teenaged actors when the books are all about kids who are far younger. I think Ender was 6 at the beginning and 12 at the end. To me that was part of what made the book.
Anyway, I do not have high expectations for this movie at all, but I suppose if it gets even more people to read the book that it won't be all bad. Ender's Game and Watership Down are pretty much the only two books that I recommend unreservedly to anyone and everyone.
