Funny enough, I consider the "Ender's Game" to be a good book. I quite enjoyed its' brutal existentialism :)
No, I haven't seen the "Dark City". I have to admit -- usually I don't watch TV or movies. Not good, I know. But there is *so much* total crap being produced today that honestly I just gave up... and watch now only the stuff that is at least several years old, and has been recommended by people I know with good taste. So well, I might consider taking a look at the "Dark City" then :)
I'm quite delighted to learn that you know the Mistery of the 3rd Planet. That's truly one of the few really good pieces of Soviet sci fi. The plot is by Kir Bulychev -- not a particularly talented writer, but an extremely strong inspirer. If you enjoyed it or the "Guest From the Future", then I don't need to explain to you the beauty of the "Noon XXII Sentury".
I am suprised to see someone from the West to know that part of the Soviet culture so well -- my respect! Not so many Russians today are familiar with it at that level unfortunately... :(
