And as luck would have it, it's on Netflix. Nice.

Teague hit the nail on the head for my experience.
It was a very loyal adaptation for just about every scene it did, most were very similar to how I'd pictured them for years, or did one better on what I'd thought up. However, for every moment I enjoyed, there was one I missed. Just when I thought they were finally on track with the book, they'd skip something and I'd be focused on that disappointment rather than paying attention.
This feeling is why I generally will read a popular book after I see the movie, but there was no getting around this here as this was one of the novels kids/geeks were passing around back in high school.
The inclusion of the Giant Game was surprising, I'd swear I'd read that was a subplot they'd dropped. I'm super happy they kept it in, but it's just too bad the parts where it becomes relevant to Ender's psyche were so underplayed.

It's also a shame they felt a need to keep it under two hours. This is a film that could've used the extra time.

BluRay's out today. I'll still pick it up, because it did do it mostly right. I think a second viewing with adjusted expectations will help. This does feel like the ENDER'S GAME film we've been waiting for, not just another kiddie film hot on the heels of the Hunger Games.

Now, if you want to talk about how "The Giver" is looking...

Haha, depends on the image you use I guess.
