Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe U.S. Marine Corps has Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card on its recommended reading list for officers, saying that it offers "lessons in training methodology, leadership, and ethics as well."
- GoofsColonel Graff remarks that Napoléon Bonaparte "conquered the known world," which is not untrue. The correct reference should have been Alexander the Great who, it could be said, conquered the known world. This could be accepted as accurate because he did conquer the parts of the world of which Macedonia and nearby regions had knowledge. The wilds of the Far East and of western and norther Europe, as well as central and southern Africa were the stuff of little more than rumor.
- Quotes

Harrison Ford is the reason I watched this, and he is first rate. It might be argued that Ford is playing to the gruff stereotype he has essayed in any number of recent films, but I like this performance.
The younger members of the cast were unfamiliar to me, but they acquit themselves well. I was drawn into the story and the emoitional journey within.
The visuals are stunning. Even the most cynical or jaded critic cannot deny the movie is beautiful to watch. Worth the cost of a movie ticket.
