Review: Enders Game (2013)

Ok, call me a Disney-film watcher but I liked Enders Game! No its not made by Disney but I endersgamewas warned beforehand it was something of a kids movie with disneyesque qualities; I could not disagree more.

This was a very interesting Science Fiction film and yes it did have a cast of mainly teenagers, but their performances were more than acceptable. It also starred Harrison Ford as a grey-haired-Major-Payne mentor and father-figure to the young trainees.

I suspect this film was made on the heels of After Earth with the casting designed to draw both an adult and teenage audience which sort of makes sense as we have been plagued with kids movies like Shrek designed for grommets and their parents for years.

Despite an illusion that it might be a kids movie, Enders Game asks very adult questions and has some very suspenseful twists and turns.
