The first book felt so conclusive I really can't imagine the rest are anything but an attempt to wring more money out of its success. Not to say they're necessarily dogshit, but probably not needed.
the movie fricking sucked
I really liked the book but heard the sequel is garbage that invalidates all of Ender's feats
The movie could've been a lot better if the final battle ever had any of the weight visually. You never seen so much as a skeleton floating in the wreckage, let alone a real visercal idea of how many sacrifices he made. In a visual medium, you need more than him being told to convey the horror.
The sequels to Ender's side of the series is pointless and meandering just for the sake of turning Ender into space jesus but Ender's Shadow series is kino and makes Enders Game look like a series for toddlers
I read Speaker for the Dead last year and liked it. The idea of space travel being one-way due to how long it takes and exploring the consequences of that, both on culture and the people travelling, was nice. The actual plot was mostly forgettable but still a bit interesting.
Speaker for the Dead is at least as good as Ender's Game but it should be broadcast as a TV miniseries, on a limited budget.
Actually the budget should be capped, to force the director to concentrate on character.
The movie is weird. It is visually really good, and the music is good, and the actors are all good, but it feels so sterile and lifeless on an emotional level.
no because normies hate scifi so we have like expanse and that's about it everything else is old and shlock. Maybe 3 body ccp will be half decent if netflix doesn't fumble it like usual.
Probably especially with the israelites that ran fat frick dragon homosexualry into the ground at the helm of that. Too bad the Chinese shit has bad actors, shitty visuals and dogshit cinematography.
What good parts from the book were in the movie? i remember thinking it could have been an entirely different story/IP, but i cant remember what happened in the movie. did ender beat anyone up in the movie? did he find out what the computer program really was in the movie or was it not concealed?
I just reread the book a few weeks ago, i remember not liking the movie enough to rewatch it.
the movie tries to fit in all the main parts. couple of battle school zero g fights but doesn't show how ender innovated strategies there, bonzo beatdown, couple of "sim" formic fights but leaves out way too much
ideally the first book should get split up into part 1 and part 2 movies.
part 1 covers everything up until the end of battle school, part 2 starts with formic fights. if anyone seriously tried to adapt this book into a movie it would be such scifi space strategy kino, but what the frick do run of the mill movie execs know about nuance and cerebral storytelling
I want a speaker of the dead movie just to see mutilated dead tree alfs and beaners getting electricuted
I remember xenocide and whatever the last one was called being absolutely schizo and making no sense. Something about Asian people with OCD and ender becoming space jesus
Gavin Hood was a poor choice of director. Paul W.S. Anderson would have been absolutely perfect. Because he's enough of a smooth talker that he could have persuaded the studio to let him include the grittier parts of the book.

There are like 3 or 4 book sequels at least.
One of the first is a second child that is directly in Enders "shadow" as a replacement for him.
If I recall correctly at least.
the movie wasn't the best, but still cool to see it in a visual medium
the first book is the only one worth it, and it's pure kino

you just wish they kept in the part where two anonymous online posters influenced politics and were related to the mary sue
I wish the movie had featured more of his sister and their incestuous relationship, yeah
And the naked shower fights between 8 year olds
got me
>I really liked the book but heard the sequel is garbage that invalidates all of Ender's feats
Speaker For The Dead is good but Xenocide and everything after it is garbo.
Bean was the real hero
Real human bean
I liked Speaker for the Dead more than Ender’s Game, but it’s the only good one.
The movie is weird. It is visually really good, and the music is good, and the actors are all good, but it feels so sterile and lifeless on an emotional level.
do any other tactical space sci fi kinos even exist?
no because normies hate scifi so we have like expanse and that's about it everything else is old and shlock. Maybe 3 body ccp will be half decent if netflix doesn't fumble it like usual.
The chinese 3 Body show was just like the book, the netflix show can only be worse

literary Christian speculative fiction?
For me, it's the Solar Cycle.
Mass Effect
Evangelion

I read enders game when I was a kid but can't remember much of it. Does it hold up for adults or is it just a kids book?
Read it after Starship Troopers and before The Forever War, anon.
That is the true trilogy of mil-SF Cinemaphile.
As for kino, maybe "Soldier" with Kurt Russell.
I read it in my 20's and it held up pretty well. I remember enjoying Speaker of the Dead more honestly.
Gavin Hood was a poor choice of director. Paul W.S. Anderson would have been absolutely perfect. Because he's enough of a smooth talker that he could have persuaded the studio to let him include the grittier parts of the book.
>Gavin Hood
give me a denis villeneuve enders game kino and im on board
That one scene from Solider looks more like Ender's Game than the movie we got.
god it literally looks like a high-budget student film
Read only Ender's Game, then Ender's Shadow. Eschew the rest.
