Summary: Missing scenes
Review: I give the DvD 3 stars for only one reason Parts of the movie are gone. I went a saw the movie opening weekend in hopes that it would be as good as the book ( which it wasnt ) Got the DVD and watched it with my family and felt the movie was better after I accepted the fact in wasnt as good as the book, watched it a 2nd time at home and noticed parts were missing. The main part was the first bar scene wher Terl was telling the bartender he was going to submit the report and he wasnt his friend. Maybe I did something wrong watching, but still [upset]

Summary: Bad Realization of a Good Idea
Review: I like the end of the human race type theme this movie had, it was just such a [poor] version of this theme. I've never read the book but from the reviews I saw for it, it looks pretty good. I assume by the other comments here, they really made a mess of screen adaptation.Besides the poor acting by Travolta, the movie seemed to jump scenes with little or no continuity.... That kind of expains his poor acting. However, the movie might be worth renting just to get an idea of the story... Cheers

Summary: Really, really bad
Review: The reviews of this movie were bad, but not nearly as bad as the movie. If you took the entire book, eliminated 3/4 of it and rewrote 2/3 of what remained, what you have left is the characters' names, maybe! I think some of the characters only appeared in the credits. The continuity of this film makes the original "Dune" movie look seamless. Comparing "Starship Troopers" to this makes "Starship Troopers" look as good as "Star Wars". I, too, am a fan of John Travolta - so I forgive him.

Summary: Ultimate Worst Movie Ever Made.
Review: This is By Far the "WORST MOVIE" i ever Saw,and Wasted My Money On(even if You Paid Fifty Cents to See it,You Got Ripped Off). This Was One of Two Movies that i have ever Seen that Made Me Stand Up in the Theatre and Express My Displeasure of the Movie,the Other One was "Pitch Black". I Read a Review of the Movie, from Some Movie Critic that Stated "Not a Million Monkey's,in a Million Years,with a Million Crayons Could Write a Worst Story".... I Lost a Lot of Respect for John Travolta, for Making Such a Horrible Movie......I Gave it a "1 Star" Because they Do Not Have Anything Lower than "1 Star", if they Did I Would Give it a "0".

Summary: Worth seeing
Review: If you grew up on the B-movie sci-fi films...then Battlefield Earth is just for you...It had everything the bad acting, bad plot, half-way decent visual effects...If you want to get a good laugh then get this movie...if you want to remember the b-movie sci-fi films of the 1950's then this film is for you... If your going to sit down and analyze the film...don't bother

Summary: Stop the presses, I actually like it!!
Review: I'm not so sure why everyone hates this movie so much. I think its cause it has the whole Scientology label attached to the writer of the novel, and John Travolta himself. The movie does have its cheesy moments, as do many films, but overall I find the movie to be very entertaining. There are some excellent special effects shots that tend to get overlooked with all the bashing. The dvd doesn't have as many extras as advertised. Much of the footage is used twice in both of the featurettes. If anything, this is a good party movie!

Summary: Smokes!
Review: My husband and I had fun with the book and movie because of all the sattirical puns in the book - much like the Mission Earth paperbacks ( a series of I believe 10 books) that Hubbard wrote, can't help it we are definitely Sci-Fi readers and Hubbard has a very long long history with the Golden agers of Sci-Fi authors. Much Bravo for all the guys and gals that pulled the movie together we are proud for ya!

Summary: Think of it as a sci-fi TV show, and it's not that bad
Review: Though I couldn't stand the thought of a human religious icon writing this movie (L. Ron Hubbard of Scientology), I let it go when I didn't smell any overt messages about religion. I'm glad I did too because the story wasn't all that horrible and botched, I mean sure it was cheesy as hell in some parts, but ya gotta expect that-come on Travolta? Oh well, The story follows that at the present, we are overrun by alien invaders who want nothing less than every ounce of gold on earth. It takes 1000 years for them to do this too (which is pretty stupid), so the story lands us in a time that is around the year 3000 AD. A few humans still live in remote areas that are toxic to the aliens because of a radiation poisoning created by our invasion response of so long ago. A man who lives in one of these areas is recruited when he ventures too far and is taken to the "dome". Travolta plays the overseer and tries to train his "man-animals" to mine for gold in place of expensive Psychlo workers (it's dumb things like a home planet named "Psychlo" that made this movie bomb at the shows- they should know better). Anyway, the man-animals of course figure out a way to obtain nuclear weapons and use them, fly jets that have been grounded for a thousand years and do some other things that aren't really possible even in science fiction. Nonetheless, I honestly enjoyed it. I guess I just don't care anymore.

Summary: Battlefield Replay
Review: If one can disregard Mr. Hubbard's magnificent book as it may apply to this movie, then it can be classified as a mediocre action adventure. If you have seen Planet of the Apes, you will recognize the plot. In fact, if you have seen any action movie in the past ten years, you will recognize stock scenes: Slow running through gunfire; Glass falling in slomo; The ultimate hero. But, it is John Travolta and I am a big fan, so yeah, I bought it and will keep it in my collection. Maybe play it for my friends and we can do a Mystery SciFi 3000 session on it.

Summary: NOT THE BEST BUT STILL WATCHABLE
Review: I will be the first to admit this is not the best movie I have seen, but it was good. I think it would have done better if it had been done futuristic. I would hate to think that by the year 3000 we have declined back to knowing nothing. I would watch this movie again and plan on buying it. I have seen a lot worse movies that I had to make myself finish but I did not feel that way with this movie!
