Summary: 'Battlefield' Wallet
Review: It was definitely a battlefield in my wallet after I wasted five dollars to see this ugly thing called 'a movie'. I was disappointed with John Travolta's performance as a big, tall alien. He despised human beings and thought the alien race was superior. Boy, was he wrong! You mess with Barry Pepper, you will have ten layers of glass broken and eat rats! This is possibly the worst thing ever made. Maybe you can put Chucky the doll with John Travolta's alien and you'll have the ultimate movie. Humans can't fly and why are they wearing rags? It's supposed to be the future? I don't know, I don't care. Forest Whitaker also appears in this vile, sadistic movie and I just blacked out for a while after it was over.

Summary: THE MOVIE THAT STARTED IT ALL...STARTS IT AGAIN ON DVD!!!
Review: The first film in the B.E. franchise gets everything right that "Phantom Menace" got wrong. "Battlefield Earth" offers big, bombastic space battles and the most terrifying screen villain (John Travolta of "Grease" fame), since Andy Griffith's psychotic turn in "Spy Hard." Not a single frame is wasted, especially in this edited, tightly wound edition prepared expressly for DVD.
"Battlefield Earth" is a spectacular space-age entertainment that polarized the movie-going public and left film critics searching for new, exacting adjectives to describe what they had seen!

Summary: Hollywood testing the audience
Review: This flick was recommended to me as a purest sample of pure stupidity, and boy was that right! It looked like Hollywood was testing the audience, how far down to the rock bottom stupid it can go and still rake up their bucks.Whatever weird they are trying to sell, it still has to comply with common sense, with the laws of the nature already known.
Cave men learning to fly fighter jets that were standing without maintenance for a grand of years?... Hey, anyone volunteers to learn driving a car in a week, a car that has been without maintenance for 10 years, with no prior driving experience? Harrier fighter jets hovering a few feet over each other... Hey, even helicopters can't hover few feet over each other for the reasons obvious to anyone with half an ounce of working brain. For J.H.C. sake, DRAGONFLYS won't be able to hover one over another like that I am sure... It simple turns off my attention and my interest and my respect to the show when they try to push me [stuff] like that.

Summary: Plan 9 from Outta Space.....the remake
Review: Battlefield Earth is a laughable Star Wars wannabe starring John Travolta as an evil alien that is just about as scary as Spaceball's Dark Helmet. Travolta might as well do Look Who's Talking 4 after this. If you want to see Travolta as a villain you can take seriously, then I recommend Broken Arrow, Face Off or even Swordfish. In this he has nothing to do but laugh every 30 seconds and to call Barry Pepper "Rat Brain" - yes, "Rat Brain!" through most the movie. From what I hear, Travolta wants to do sequels; well, to that I think I'll say what his character in this would say: "Ha Ha Ha Ha!"

Summary: The CInematic Event of the Century
Review: I can't tell you how much I loved this movie. John Travolta and Forest Whitaker are walking gods on the face of this planet. This movie had everything: men eating rats, men's heads exploding, men falling off of cliffs because the aliens thought they could fly, and Barry Pepper falling through 10 layers of glass. This movie changed my life. It was cinematic gold. I can't believe this movie wasn't the biggest box office success ever. I must have seen this movie at least 5 times in the theaters and I was almost the only one there. I am forever a John Travolta fan and anything he makes is pure genius. Kelly Preston had the longest tongue I have ever seen and it was delicious. Instead of "American Beauty" winning all of those Academy Awards, this movie should have won it all. John Travolta delivered the performance of his life. Forest Whitaker was a comic genius . The new human revolution has begun with this monumental motion picture event.

Summary: You have got to see this movie!
Review: This is it. . . this is the worst movie ever made. Take Plan 9 from Outer Space out of the number one spot and replace it with this glorious masterpiece.
I'm proud to say that I actually watched this film in its entirety at a movie theater back when it was first released. I even watched the ending credits. It was quite a life changing experience. I've seen a lot of horrible movies, but never before had I seen a movie so horrible as Battlefield Earth.
The quality of the plot is amazingly bad. Aliens (from a planet called Psychlo) want to steal gold- that's pure genius. The acting is also amazing. John Travolta's screen presence as a 7 foot Rastafarian alien bad [guy]with nose plugs is perfect for a film of this calibur. It's good to know that dreadlocks are a universal style. I'm hoping to find afros on other planets also.
This movie also gave me neck cramp from having to compensate for all the tilted camera angles in the film. This is the first movie (and hopefully not the last) to give me a personal injury. Bravo. I guess the director wanted to get a little "artistic".
It's quite obvious that this movie was made with multi-million dollar budget, which proves that money doesn't make a good movie. I can only hope that more big budget movies of this quality will be made and shown at theaters so I can relive the experience of watching the worst movie ever on a big screen. Please John Travolta, make a sequel! This movie will change your life!

Summary: Interesting Experiment
Review: The director's soundtrack helped me understand what they were trying to do. Every shot is tilted as on the old "Batman" TV show and the prevailing color of each scene tells us which environment we're in: it helps to know that. The climatic scene is a great illustration of the old proverb "people who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones." However, it was hard for me to maintain my suspension of disbelief when hunter/gatherers were able to take 1,000-year-old fighter jets and get them flying in months (not in the book, by the way).

Summary: Read The Book!
Review: This is an adaption of an amazingly popular sci-fi book. Why was this movie so unpopular, you ask? Some great books make great films (Lord of the Rings). This film only went into about 1/2 of the book. I know it's a long book, but don't just stop. The Lord of the Rings did that, but that's how the book ended. It was a trilogy. We know theres going to be a sequel. This was really bad. Really bad. If you liked it, that's fine. I didn't.
