When I first watched it, it left me in awe. I could say that it re-shaped the way I think about a lot of things in life, it's that impactful! The plot, sucked me in right from the start, the creativity, the costumes, the characters, infact everything was all so awesome!!!
I would call it a masterpiece!!!
In the future, earth is planning to launch an attack on the home world of aliens called "Formics" . The formics attacked the world years back which led to the death of millions of people. Fortunately the human race won the war by crashing their warship into the alien’s Queen ship and ever since then, humans had to train gifted children who can become commanders of a new fleet, to avenge the death of millions of people killed by the aliens.
At the age of only twelve, Andrew Wiggin, popularly known as "Ender," was drafted into Battle School by Colonel Graff and Major Anderson. Ender joins a team of other cadets in a spaceship leaving earth and flying to the battle school which is located in an orbiting space station. The cadets begin training immediately they get there, in a zero gravity battle room.
Ender quickly adapts and learns the games devising strategies, to win the game which even older students couldn't. Because of this, he was transferred into the elite Salamander Army, led by Bonzo Madrid, which haven’t been ever defeated. Bonzo doesn’t accept Ender into the team because he felt Ender was a liability. Another cadet named "Petra" volunteers to train Ender.
Due to Ender’s exceptional performance in training, he was given his own squad to lead. His squad was put in difficult battles but they kept prevailing. Ender’s squad defeats Bonzo’s army and because of it, Bonzo attacks him and in the process Bonzo is pushed and suffers a head injury.
Ender is upset about it and decides to quit the battle school. He was taken back to earth but Ender’s sister convinces him to go back to training, so he was taken back and this time, to a formic planet. He rejoins his former squad and they get to train some more.
Enders test finally reaches and he was told that if he wins the simulation test, he would be made the commander. The simulation starts and at the end, they won, only to discover that they were not in a simulation but rather in a real battle. Ender is shocked because he had destroyed an entire population of aliens along with the soldiers he sacrificed, thinking it was a simulation.
In a dream, Ender meets a Formic Queen, who says that the species only wanted water, and never wanted war. Then she leaves him an egg that contains the last Formic queen. Promoted to Admiral, Ender decides he will go deep in space for colony formations, thereby giving the Formic species a chance to regroup and repopulate.
This movie holds a special place in my heart with its many startling moments and for its very strong emotional message, the concept of compassion. I only just wish there was an extended adaptation of this movie.
A lovely science fiction movie which I feel everyone will enjoy. I will be giving it a 9/10 rating.
