Looks… dunno?
Big budget sci-fi.
Could be fun.

It looks good to me.

Harrison Ford looks bored. I hope those weren't the highlights of his role.

It looks every bit as good as I could have ever hoped! This is going to be a classic SF movie!

It was a colossal bore as a book. I tried three times and never made it past halfway. Of course, by the time I tried to read Ender's Game I was OD'd on scifi-fantasy, that might have had something to do with it. I recall reading Terry Brooks' Shannara "trilogy" by reading the first line of each paragraph, until some action came up. That's how I was handling scifi at the time; too much, and too many borrowed motifs and plot devices. I don't think I have recovered to this day….

It was great as a novella, fleshing out for backstory seem useless.

I read the first 3 novels – but SMC is right – the novella was the best version. That's why I gave up on the series.

But I'd like to see the film, although the "surprise twist" is not much of a surprise anymore, is it ?

What Great War Ace said. Plus some other issues with the author which would get me DH'ed if vocalised.

Also what 138SquadronRAF said.

Great War Ace took the words right out of my mouth, and I'm a reader. I'll watch the movie though since I'm sure the movie will be action packed and FX-heavy. Plus, I'll be watching it with a 'fresh eye' and without any expections or preconceived notions from the book.
