The long-awaited big-screen adaptation of the popular and beloved book by Orson Scott Card is finally here. Heading the cast is Asa Butterfield (“Hugo”) as Ender, an extremely talented and gifted 12-year-old boy whose destiny is to save our planet from devastating attacks by insect-like alien creatures known as Formics. Harrison Ford is Colonel Graff as the manipulative Battle School commander who helps hone Ender’s leadership skills. Viola Davis is Major Gwen Anderson, a Battle instructor who serves as the heart to Graff’s brain.
