Ender's Game (IMAX)

It's "Starship Troopers" for gamers when elite child video game players are recruited and trained for galactic combat against Earth's insectoid enemy. An all-star cast (Harrison Ford, Viola Davis, Ben Kingsley, Abigail Breslin, Hailee Steinfeld, and Asa Butterfield) and spectacular special effects enhance an intriguing plot about bullying, teamwork, and war. Alien has never read the popular book, but can still sense a lot of details were trimmed for this 2 hour film. Nevertheless, this is still a great action flick with a powerful message.

Alien gives it 3 ½ "child's play" stars out of 4.
