Ender’s Game (2013)

Based on Orson Scott Card’s novel, Ender’s Game follows a gifted boy trained in a military school to fight an alien race. The movie balances strategy, isolation, and moral consequence with dazzling zero-gravity visuals. Asa Butterfield gives Ender a mix of genius and vulnerability that anchors the spectacle. While not as dark as the book, it captures the pressure of growing up too fast. It’s a sci-fi war story that asks what happens when children become soldiers before they’re ready.
