Major book spoilers in here

I think "cautiously exited" is a nice way to put it. Regarding book details in the trailer, I hope they stick to this approach and don't give too much away before the movie's out. Part of the magic of the story, as I recall (it's been 13 years), is that you're learning about the story as Ender learns about it. I find it saddening when trailers give away too much plot.

The trailer actually seemed to tell a different story (sort of the OPPOSITE story) than the book - so maybe they ARE going to do a good job of selling it as you watch.

To that point, isn't the final scene of that trailer (Zapping the entire homeworld) kind of a massive super huge frigging spoiler? If they want to pace discovery, giving up a huge part of the ending doesn't seem like a good idea.
