He's writing a new series (2 out so far) that details the first Arachnid War. It's pretty cool, I enjoy them more than I did xenocide, for example.

Orson Scott Card is a fantastic author, but i believe that "Wyrms" is a far better book.

I know right. And yet that book isn't even a sequel! Different trilogy right?

The spiritual sequel would be Ender's Shadow. Its a parallel novel to the first told from another characters perspective, andin my opinion its just as good as Ender's Game.

I have to say that the sequels totally and completely lost me... in that they were a chore to read and even though I made myself do it, I didn't really understand what was going.

However I was pretty young. I'll give them another go.

If you haven't read the other books around Ender's Game, you need to read them.... there are a couple sequels and a betweenquel that expands on the ending of Ender's Game. Brilliant series all the way around, and the cliffhanger ending of the series leaves a WORLD of imagination open

Loved the book so am not eager to see the movie.
Although there are cases where both book and movie are good (Clockwork Orange).

Its a good movie, but it doesn't really do the book justice.

while i see your point of view and see where you're comming from as this is something that happens often to me (Harry Potter, common now most of the movies were TRIPE especially the third, lord of the rings, the hobbit (fanservice galore, screw the book!), ect...) I felt (even though I have yet to read the book) that they manage to make the length of the events transpire to me.

I didn't feel like it had only taken them a month to get there. you may have felt this was a shame for those who didn't read the book but worry not, they really made duration and the idea that things were happening off screen transpire.

I'll read the book but I remain persuaded this movie is a real success. Really it surprised me. I thought it was going to be tasteless and a bland typical cash grab with terrible budget and stuff, because I'd never heard of the title. but it blew me away!

(please no more spoiler, that's the second time I ask ~_~')

As someone who read and loved the book well over a decade ago, I really didn't like the movie. It was a fraction of the real Ender's Game. They glosses over half the book in 5 mins. Really really missing the depth and meaning of the scenes. For example,

Spoiler: show

Now I think about it, this book is one of the reasons why I started reading .. which I do a lot now. That book is magical.

I'd defo see a supcom movie ... and probably hate that too

I love the damn movie to no end. I feel like it was made for people who like supcom specifically, or maybe just those who like strategy.

In any event the CGI is some never before seen state of polish, long-ass scenes with detailed ass, shots, entire planets with a quick strat zoom and you're having a hard time believe it's computer-generated, it looks so good. Watching it in anything lower than 1080p is a darn waste (which isn't hard btw that's basically the only way this movie's available for free).

As for the scenario, it completely surprised me at first viewing. This is why I'll ask for no spoilers here. To keep the enjoyment intact.

I think if there was to be a movie made of of the supcom franchise it couldn't be done better. opinions?
