Review
Ender's Game is a spectacular film and true to the Orson Scott Card's book of the same name. Asa Butterfield gives a really great performance as Ender, with a moral complexity of a genius boy who is called to save his world despite his uncertainty in what he is being asked to do. For me, it's a really great movie, where the moral of the movie is do not easily give up when you have a problem, there's always a way to solve it.
