    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.
