Ender's Game

Watched this 10-year-old sci-fi yarn on the plane. It's a teenage boy wet dream. Ender is the “chosen one” because he’s really good at video games. The military officers, Harrison Ford and Viola Davis (believe-it-or-not), throw a bunch of tests at him, which he passes with flying colors because he’s the chosen one. They watch him get bullied and then kick ass and say, “Excellent. He passed the bully test. He is the chosen one.” Everything is a secret test for this kid, but he’s an unstoppable video game nerd who takes NO crap from Harrison Ford. This teenager will lead a huge space army and he will save the world. Whoever wrote this fantasy justifying their video gaming and locker room torture might need a little therapy about their childhood.
