Review: Ender's Game (Adam Riske's Take)

by Adam Riske

I love being wrong. Having no history with the book Ender’s Game, I went into the movie with a blank slate and low expectations brought on by the movie’s garbage trailer. It looked like another one of those nonsense “chosen one” movies for kids. But I am here to say Ender’s Game is another Jack Reacher, a movie far better than the ads would leave you to believe. I liked Ender’s Game. At times I liked it a lot.

Anyone notice the new "look" of the MPAA's rating screens before movie previews? They're weird, right? I mean, maybe they're not -- maybe I'm just opposed to change. But they seem fake -- like a fan trailer for an existing movie, or a trailer for a really bad student film by the guy in film school who isn't going anywhere ... but HE THINKS he's going places, and just to prove it, he's "approximated" the old green screen from a distant, drunk memory. I could be wrong about this whole thing (and I see they've embraced the 2008 branding of Barack Obama by selecting the now-eponymous Gotham font, so that's a good start?). Again, I could be wrong.
