“We have additional coverage on the film’s visual effects on fxguide with Ian Failes’ article, “Inside Oblivion“.”
One of my most favorite movies of all time by one of most favorite directors. This clip gets me excited all over again. Colonial Marines. The ultimate badassess 
It might just be one of those “perfect” movies. Hardly anything wrong technically or story-wise, tons of action, some comedy, a new world to explore, strong female character, guns, aliens, harrowing escape, androids (sorry, synthetic humans , lots of quote-able lines, highly re-watch-able, etc.
“Creativity isn’t an exact science, and sometimes you have to break the rules to come up with innovative solutions. Thomas Edison knew that, and in his lab he didn’t bother with strict rules or regulations. I approached him in a humble spirit: “Mr.”

So, I read all the books and watched the first movie. WTH? Was it me, or did the movie seriously simplify everything? I mean, it was fluffy fun and all, but there was a lot of missing context about the whole world Suzanne Collins created. Information about the plants in the forrest, Mockingjays, the Mutts, etc. Basically all of Katniss’ thoughts were effectively omitted. It made for a “why did she just do that?” kind of movie. What a shame. It could have been much more, but I guess that’s the way it goes most of the time for books that are made into movies. I think Ender’s Game won’t survive the conversion. 
Please, for all that is holy, do NOT let that happen to Ready Player One.
