Yeah, not really liking this trailer at all–the book is best when it's about gifted children, their fears/hang-ups/friendships/teamwork and the strategizing involved in the battle-room. It's also an excellent character piece. This trailer seems to put all the focus on space battles, special effects, and adult movie stars, when it should be more like Lord of the Flies or something and tightly focused.

Book was lame for many reasons, largely because Ender was an invincible protagnoist. Had no flaw, no area of insecurity. Just won – always. His "flaw" was the ire he inspired in his peers, because he constantly bested them

I hate all the "Academy Award Nominee" tags. A movie like this doesn't need it. It's not Oscar bait. It's not Lincoln. It's not gonna get kids more interested. What'd make more sense is "Harrison Ford of Star Wars" and "Ben Kingsley of Iron Man 3." That's playing to the intended audience.

ha, at least Harrison dialed the right number when he PHONED that narration in. Hasn't sounded that energized since the Bladerunner voice-over. Or indy 4.

The most exciting thing on the trailer is the change of font in the MPAA warning.

I don't understand why or how this no name director got the gig.

I adored this series as a kid, but I don't think it's going to translate to film well at all.

It looks pretty good in my opinion. Good acting & good visual.
