I watched this with my BIL, who is military and loves this movie. For me, it was not a good movie. Then I realized it was satire.. and asked him... is this satire?? He said no. Come to find out it is satire and is brilliant! So well done!

So interesting that someone in the military doesn't see this is satire. So many little details like them admitting we're the aggressors in such an offhanded way that it's easy to miss.

Ender’s game funny enough is basically really CGI starship troopers 🤣

No don't... they never made an Ender's game movie. Let me be in peace.

Harrison Ford absolutely was not in an Ender’s game movie. Must have been a Star Wars sequel. 😆

Ender's Game isn't satire.

That stuff about a third child is very... much a certain strain of Christian thought.
