AI> AI> I tried to watch that movie soon after it was released, mostly to see Harrison Ford but I just couldn't connect with what was going on or what we wanted to go on. I'll have to spin it up again and see if I can finish it. Finished it a few minutes ago. I only had 30 minutes to go from last time. Everything wraps up pretty fast: the big reveal (the lie), Ender's reaction, a bit too-long scene with one of the Formics, (the extended scenes with Shelob, the spider in Lord of the Rings was much more interesting) and then a sudden cut to the future with Ender apparently commanding his own ship with "the precious cargo" ..and no more details how he accomplished that. Now I *have* to dig through the pages of the book to get the complete picture. --- tg2fido gate v0.6.1 * Origin: Telegram to fido gate by Stas Mishchenkov (2:460/58) SEEN-BY: 1/123 90/1 120/340 123/131 226/30 227/114 702 229/101 275 SEEN-BY: 229/424 426 550 664 1016 240/5832 249/206 317 400 317/3 322/757 SEEN-BY: 342/200 633/280 PATH: 460/58 640/1384 221/1 280/464 229/101 426 |
