Ender's Game. I understood what was going on due to reading the book. However, my wife had a hard time understanding some parts of it and I could see why since you'd have to jump the gaps of things going on that without having read the book, may not entirely make sense. Overall it was "OK" but didn't do a good job filling things, and also sped some things up without explanation. Acting was maybe a 6, not terrible, not great. Visual effects and cgi were pretty good, maybe a 7 or 8. Actual deployment of characters and story and plot were a mostly 5 up till the twist, which made it just sort of "eh."
There wasn't tons of filler to the backstory either of his family, brother or sister, nor anything that happened at the very end of the book really either.
