**May Contain Spoilers**
Ender's Game stars Harrison Ford as Colonel Graff and Asa Butterfield as Ender Wiggin.
Ender's Game is not just a movie, but an adventure through a fictional thought of how ones life could be in the future. Ender is your not so ordinary child attending battle school where children are trained into effective fighting machines. The reason to the training is because earth was attacked by Aliens which left devastating effects, therefore Earth began full preparation mode for the possible return of the Aliens.
Asa Butterfield did an outstanding role as Ender Wiggin, he takes you through a rollercoaster ride of emotions and feelings all the meanwhile you witness the pain and isolation that Ender constantly endures and eventually overcomes whether by force or by nature.
Harrison Ford did his usual outstanding performance, and his return to Sci-Fi will not be cut short, I hear StarWars is in the works and Harrison Ford is rumoured to be back as Han Solo.
When I attended the movie, I decided to pay the extra and watch Ender's Game in ULTRA AVX. I must say, it was quite the intellectual choice. Watching a movie is one thing, but enjoying the movie that much extra because your experience level is heightened due to the Audio and Visual technology integrated into the movie (or any movie offered in ULTRA AVX).
The visual experience is what mainly caught my eye, space can look peaceful even in a war movie. Although there were a few roaring moments that had the whole auditorium shaking.
This movie is a definite must-see whether you're a Sci-Fi fan or not. It's an interesting storyline (with twists at every corner!) where children are trained to be used as child soldiers!
Funny enough, I didn't even think of the fact that this movie could potentially be promoting "Child Super Soldiers". My friend who attended the movie with me made that comment and it caught me by surprise, but he's correct. The whole movie was fantastic, from the beginning concept to the finishing credits I had not one negative thing to say about this movie, until the aforementioned comment.
Therefore, other then the whole child soldier fiasco, I don't believe Ender's Game should receive any negativity.
Great movie!!

BAD GRANDPA MOVIE REVIEW
*Might Contain Spoilers*
Usually, I don't really go watch stupid funny comedies like this on the big screen, but I figured since there was so much hype, Johnny Knoxville is a funny guy, and I figured why not, since Bad Grandpa has been at the top of the box office, clearly there is something worth watching for 92 minutes.
Bad Grandpa stars Johnny Knoxville as 86 year old Irving Zisman, who is on a journey across the country with his 8 year old grandson Billy.
I find the intellectual level of comedy in this movie was all over the place. There was some down right raunchy and unpleasant scenes throughout the movie. But then there was some very clever scenes and comedic jokes that would make you laugh so hard you'd almost want to cry.
From what was understood, there were some scenes where the crowd wasn't aware of the prank and they believed some of the stuff was for real (hidden camera). I highly suggest watching the credits of Bad Grandpa, because it'll show you which ones were the scenes with hidden cameras and it'll show the aftermath (scenes not shown during the movie) that Bad Grandpa caused to the people.
It was a definite comedy right up the alley of Jackass although, I wouldn't recommend this movie for the younger demographic, or for people who don't accept raunchy over the border material. Some of the scenes shown, even the audience had some sounds of shock.
I am somewhat having difficulty understanding the hype of this movie. Though it was funny overall and what not, the level of hype and the level of satisfaction the movie delivered wasn't on the same level.
What was surprising to see was on IMDB that Bad Grandpa's budget was an estimated $15,000,000.
Bad Grandpa is rated R, I'd recommend watching this movie just because its a comedy and it does have some very funny scenes.
If you can wait for DVD, streaming, TV, etc.. then take your time, I don't believe it's a must see flick of the year, but definitely worth a watch!!
