Saturday Movies: Ender's Game (2013)

So to be honest I was expecting a lot more before watching Ender's Game. I was expecting to at least be interested, and honestly throughout I was just really bored. Maybe it was that everyone was too robotic or just that the story didn't entertain? Either way I felt like I wanted to zone out throughout the entire duration of the movie. It's not that the story is bad, or even that the acting is lacking, but it certainly isn't entertaining or compelling.

Summary: Formics are an alien species that have already almost destroyed humans' existence, but not humans have banded together to continue to fight back from their take over. Ender Wiggin almost believes he is no good to join the fight, until he is recruited to battle school where he will learn to fight from a computer. Fighting from a computer though is nothing like the video games he is practicing on though, and when it comes to the real thing Wiggin might not have the capacity to take the destruction with his quiet demeanor.
