Ender's Game (2013)
Read the book of you want the whole story.
As the majority of movies based upon books are tremendously Cliff Notes versions with a lot of added content for viewer appeal, a lot of comments here state the lackluster plot and weakness in the characters.
I'm afraid that since the majority of the Ender's Game story is inner dialogue he has with himself, as you will clearly find when you read the book, this can't easily be passed along in the film version.
If you really want to learn what's going on through Ender's mind throughout his ordeal at home and at battle school, please read Orson Scott Card's novel. You won't be disappointed.
The Interpreter (2005)
Worth $8.50? Perhaps! Or perhaps not...
Outstanding performances by Sean Penn and Nicole Kidman! They make or break a movie, in my humble opinion...but the rest of the movie palled in comparison.
I know Sidney Pollack has made some good movies in the past but this one could have used a bit more *wow*. He can do better and more than likely will in the future.
Drawn out in most parts of it- i.e. slow and boring. The action scenes did grip me 3x yet all in all I was disappointed.
Plus, how can a movie be authentic when you see five or six actors not being convincing one bit portraying their parts? (example: the governmental employees, CIA, FBI, NSA, Secret Service)
Overall rating: 5/10
