Just saw it

"Cautiously excited" is accurate. I'm not sure I would go that far. I haven't really been following the movie production all these years, but wasn't Orson Scott Card pretty heavily involved? If true that gives me some hope.

However, I don't really like the vibe I get from the trailer. It just doesn't feel like it sets the appropriate tone. I honestly think Ender's Game is one of those novels that would be/is really difficult to transfer to film in an adequate manner. There's so much stuff in the novel about what's happen to Ender internally and psychologically, I'm not sure how they can portray that in the movie.

I don't know. I'll go see it for sure, just because I love Ender's Game, but I'm not expecting a whole lot at this point.
