It was a true action packed adventure. The visual effects were great. This movie is rated PG 13 for some violence and action. It had an all star cast that drew the whole family in. Harrison Ford, Viola Davis and Bens Kingsley for us older folks. Abigail Breslin, Hailee Steinfield and &nbsp;Asa Butterfield for the younger set. What I liked about it? I liked that it had a &#8220;hero&#8221; that my 11 year old son could relate too. He wanted to be the strong one with an equally strong mind. He was talking about the movie the next day and you could see him thinking about the characters. That tells you how well the characters were done in this story. Wondering what the movie is about exactly? It&#8217;s about our planet, Earth, preparing for an alien invasion. They nominate a young bright boy with a brilliant mind to command the Earth&#8217;s army and to fight for the future of the human race. &nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Curious to see what Ender&#8217;s Game is all about?
