I love this series more than I can explain, in fact it is my second favorite Orson Scott Card series, outside of the Alvin Journeyman series; I only add this to say that the review below is based on the movie, and me forgetting the books exist (and yes, I had read them first). I find the movie fun, it brings a new spin to futuristic space warfare, and I really think the movie was fun, as a standalone film left on a cliffhanger. I really wish they would have followed this up with the true meat of the series... What happens with the egg? But since they jumped the shark real quick, I get not pumping more money into it.
