Notes:

It is always acceptable that movie adaptations are less than the books where they were derived, and this works for Ender's Game (2013). Filled with stunning visuals and promising acts from the growing Asa Butterfield and Hailee Steinfeld, it captures attention while you try to relate to some of its themes. Pretty engaging but fails to move you that much--it only tickles.

For your consideration:

• Visual Effects
• Costume Design
• Production Design
