FILM REVIEWS

SPOILERS AHEAD

Earth takes the smartest children to the Battle School and prepares

them against the alien invaders the Formics. Andrew EnderWiggins the rare third child of a strict two-child policy has been

picked to join the Battle School. The majority of the movie shows

Ender in training and quitting after nearly killing someone at the

Battle School before rejoining again with the support of his sister

Valentine. Now Ender is taken to his final training where he will

face and lead invasion fleet against the Formics home planet

during the final 30 minutes of the film.

Ender meets former war hero Mazer Rackham who he thought was

dead. Mazer reveals to Ender that the Formics ship has a Queen

ship that controls the other ships. Destroying that ship and the rest

of the Formics fleet falls. Ender is quickly promoted to Command

School where he prepares for battle. On graduation day he

prepares for the final simulation and destroys the Formics planet.

However it was not a simulation it was the real destruction of the

Formics homeworld. The previous simulation was all real.

At the end Ender discovers the Formic Queen has been

communicating with him to help save her egg and restart theFormic race on another planet. The film is straight forward with

very little surprises however the ending was something I never saw

coming.
