In fact, we have no future

Overall, Ender's Game is a decent sci-fi movie. I didn't use "excellent work" because he was indeed unsatisfactory as netizens said. And the only bright spot in the whole article was also ruined by the synopsis that I couldn't help but read. . Effects are good. It's a pity that in my opinion, who often watch sci-fi movies, there is nothing particularly outstanding (but far more than "Interstellar Legend" for sure).

The most attractive thing about this film is, of course, the special group of teenagers. The author should have chosen them as the protagonists because of their innovative and rebellious character. . Some people say that the young man's acting skills are not enough, and some people say that he is acting cool and learning from adults. But in my opinion, there is nothing particularly unpleasant about their performance. Just like you watch any movie. As long as there are no obvious flaws or unnaturalness, you shouldn't feel bad in terms of acting.

The next part is what I want to say the most, and it is also where I think the screenwriter of this film (although there is the name of the original author~ but I believe he did not contribute much) is limited. Ender's captain characterization after his transfer to the Salamanders and his conflict with Ender was decidedly clichéd and too grown-up. I haven't read the original book, but I think the presence of this paragraph really gives the movie a mosaic of high scores.

Next, let's talk about a few minor flaws in the film:

1. The role of the salamander team captain is not suitable, it is not like a teenager and it is extremely short and ugly. I believe that he must not appear as a harlequin, but should have some positive colors.

2. The part about the captain not wanting Ender to train with his sister and his jealousy of Ender's talent is really cliché. Even if you are loyal to the original work, you can't be so innovative, turning a movie with a teenager as the protagonist into a young, strong, and middle-aged love movie with a male protagonist with charismatic personality overcoming a male anti-model with physical charm (although not without).

3. It is still the old problem of the protagonist's halo. I feel that in the last confrontation game, the IQs of the other two teams, both captains and players, were lowered. The tactic of knocking them into the air (in the movie) has been around for a long time (forget it) seems to have no idea. . Personally, I feel like this should be the last resort of the writers who really can't figure out how to win the game if Ender's team is knocked out. .

4. Slightly similar to Article 3. I (I'm sure there are a lot of people like me) are very concerned about how Ender brought the mother's egg back to base in the end; why a brat who can only command battles was appointed to such an obviously political position; why no one It was more interesting to find the zerg egg flying into space with Ender. . To put it simply, I think it is impossible to achieve such a tedious task in such a simple way. . So I think the time between PlayGame and Ender's affair with the girl can be used to explain this.

5. It's still the screenwriter's problem. Since Ender's family characters cannot be portrayed in detail in a limited time, don't bring them into Ender's growth. Perhaps those who have read the novel will be disdainful. But to finish the content of such a thick novel in a short period of time, the quality required by the screenwriter is really very high. . (I'll check who the screenwriter is)

Well, the only good reviews for this film are based entirely on a very high-status original book, unexpected plots (in fact, also in the original book), and those so-called high-level special effects that make people feel dazzling . No wonder I keep seeing Shi time netizens give extremely low scores.

I don't remember the name of the male lead actor (who seems to be quite famous). Because there is really no need to remember. Just like the director of this movie.
