'Ender's Game' Review


My review of Ender's Game doesn't spend a single second considering whether or not author Orson Scott Card is homophobic. (You can read all about that here.) I simply focused on the merits of the movie that was adapted from his acclaimed sci-fi novel. I ended up liking the aforementioned movie, although while watching it I did have the strange feeling I was sitting through a sincere version of Starship Troopers. But it turns out that the movie is more morally complex than it first appears. My review is up at Screen International.
