The key information about the film



Action/sci-fi the setting is in space the reason why this fits in the sci-fi genre and also on another planet ender is linked to the science fiction genre because he is exceedingly intelligent for someone of his age and also has advanced knowledge of battle skills. The narrative themes in this film in alien’s invasion and destruction of planet Earth.   

The plot of the film

Here is a quote from the film its self “when I understand my enemy well enough to defeat him, then in that moment, I also love him” A.E.Wiggin the Humans fight an alien race called Formics but a very good commander called Mazer Rackham was killed when he crashed in to the Formics big ship in the war which was about 50 years ago

Now they are training smart children to help fight the future war because that’s the only way they think they can win.

Probes are put in to children’s necks to monitor their every move. A boy called Ender had has removed as a test to see how he copes with rejection. He beat up another kid because that kid was picking a fight with him  because he felt embarrassed (he lost a game) however Ender retaliated and put that kid on the floor, continually kick him Ender has been promoted to battle school in space.

Ender was promoted to another team were he meets this girl called Petra and starts to Tran with her.

He is strategizing and compromising also he learns very quickly however ender does not like to take orders from his commanding officer so now he is given the chance to lead his own grope called the dragons. He wants is to see his sister valentine as he miss her.

Ender gets that wish, He goes back in to space but he is now going to command bass near were the aliens home planet is. Now he is up and looking at the sunrise without knows someone is there. There is a final simulation was he and his team might grauretion.  Ender might be promoted to commander officer of the imperil fleet .it was a success but there is something wrong it was not a game it was real and he was lied to.
Ender thinks he is a killer and now he will bear the shame. He know what the queen wants so he is going to try to find out the torts of the queen Formics and his dreams all mixed in to one .so ender walks to the racked ship and finds one of the last queen Formics and communicates with it and promise to take care of the queens egg which is the last of their spaces.

  1. WWW- Ella, I am so impressed. You have clearly researched this film in detail and chosen a suitable film to explore in more detail. Some of the conventions you mention clearly link with the study of Science Fiction. Well done.

    EBI- Sometimes your expression means that sentences are not always as clear as they could be. Make sure you proof read your work.

    LR- Now please add a comment with your learner response. Consider WHY the features you picked out fit the science fiction genre: eg you have mentioned battles, space school and simulations. Why are these suitable for the genre?
    Also, you mention that it is not as good as the book. Why is this, do you think?
