I thought it was a straight. Never read or heard of the books. The little girl from True Grit (though she's ain't little no more, she's 17

) and the star Ender was the best of the kids actors. Viola and Indiana Jones did their thing as usual. The last 30 minutes was dope and makes you wanna see what happens next. There were like 2 twist. One was predictable and I saw it a mile away. Plus, knew how they were going to do a the twist. But the 2nd twist, I had no idea, which made it dope. Ender though carried this film. The way this niguh turned into baby Heisenberg had me

at times. This dude needs to do some thrillers. He got potential.
Movie was slow at parts. I understand because you gotta build the story. But it def. wasn't smooth and hurt the film. Some of those kids actors came off as amateurs which hurt the film. I.E., there is a scene where one of the kids get hurt and it was B movie esque, on how the kid reacted. I think the 2nd film would be much better. 3/4 of the movie was decent. But the last 4th was dope. Decent sci-fi flick to see during a matinee.
