Don't try to repress our social dialog, you facist!!

e: I haven't read the book or seen the movie.. I may read the book now but I still have no desire to see the movie.

This is what Sci-Fi has been a good platform for.. stimulating the social dialog.. it has always been a means to externalize internal factors so they are more palatable... usually our fear of things different from ourselves. And yet.. over and over again.. the result is that a great many people put aside their differences in order to combat some other difference. It delves into, "I know we're different, but that guy over there is WAY different and poses a threat.. let's kill it before it kills us." Which sends a mixed message, to me anyway.

I am a big sci-fi fan, and I have never thought it was about fear of things different from ourselves.  In my experience it is about exploring and expanding our understanding, and inevitably getting past labels.  Ultimately, that's what Ender's Game is about.

Saw it, didn't hate it. I am curious though, has anyone not read the books but seen the movie? I am not actually sure that you would have any fucking clue what was going on at all. They moves so fast through battle school and didn't explain...well....anything.

please ignore the above post, it is most likely worthless and a waste of your time to read.
TL;DR go on with your life while you still can.

I didn't read the book, but I'm a pretty big sci-fi buff so I followed the whole thing.

No, don't do that. 

I have read the book, but that was a long time ago.  I am thinking of rereading it before seeing the movie so I can really be disappointed.
