This has been near the top of my all-time favorite SciFi books. Orson Scott Card has also been near the top of my all-time favorite SciFi writers. Imagine why I don’t want to watch the movie. Rarely can the movie match the perception from the mind when reading the book.<\/p>\n

Harrison Ford is really the deciding factor for me to go to this movie. I also waited several weeks. To make sure both the crowd has thinned out and the movie is not a disastrous disappointment. As a relative cheap-skate, I also picked the matineé game on Sunday.<\/p>\n

And I really enjoyed it. Having read the book or not, this is a good movie.<\/p>\n

The book reader will appreciate the imaging, the costume, and the visual of the battle training. The movie cut off much of the training and did a good job moving to the “command simulation” more quickly. The setup for that simulation was stunning and very enjoyable. I also like Abigail Breslin’s Valentine a lot, although that was a minor role. The ending was excellently done and was the only part that I think the book readers would have enjoyed even more.<\/p>\n
