    Started to watch the film last night. I primarily wanted to see Harrison Ford's acting. Ford seems like he's on vacation - not impressed. I got to the point where Ender is starting to play the last simulation. Not enough to enthrall me. I'll finish it later.
    I am pretty sure the book would play play better in my mind. I can appreciate the CGI effects though - quite beautiful and very well done.

    It's true the book is almost always better than a movie adaptation.

    In this instance, I can neither confirm nor deny the fact.

    However, taken for what it is, targeted more towards tweens and younger
    teens I believe, it is enjoyable for me. Of course, I have a passion for all things science fiction and fantasy, which this falls neatly into both categories.

    For something a bit more down to earth (so to speak), check out I Am Mother. I thought that was extremely well done - a nice mix of technology and philosophy - who is in control of the destiny of the human race. It's intelligent and tense.

    I believe I watched that one. The girl raised by a robot?

    I watched this last year & thought of it often while watching Raised by Wolves which is available on HBO Max.
