   This had to be the worst piece of crap ever to be shot out of Hollywood. This makes Caligula goes to College look good. Whoever took Travolta out of his jar in the mid 90’s forgot to tighten the lid after such great (read: horrid) hits (read: dreck) like Michael.

   Let me tell you a story.

   It was a blistering hot day in the Vegas summer (when isn’t it?) and me and my friends just had to watch a movie before we blew that popsicle stand. We managed to find a small hidden theater that later proved itself to be much larger than it let on.

   I look at the small ‘Battlefield Earth’ title poster, down to my wallet and then back up to the poster. I said ‘I’ve heard bad things about this movie, but it can’t be THAT bad.’ It was THAT bad.

   Travolta had as much life as a wooden statue of Al Gore. No amount of dreadlocks and platform boots could take away from his empty acting. At least in the Original Planet of The Apes, the overbearing Apes had some fashion sense.

   The plot didn’t help either. I can enjoy a good plot with bad acting, but bad acting caked over a messy goo that someone dared call a plot is too much to ask the average person. Apparently illiterate post-apocalyptic humans can learn to fly one of the most advanced airplanes in a flight simulator that has *SURPRISE!* survived the apocalypse! It also brought its jet plane buddies along with it. I hope U.S. security is tight nowadays, because by this logic any Baby Huey can doddle into a plane, press a few buttons and be on their way.

   Sci-fi is supposed to be a bunch of improbable scenarios, but it has to be bound by SOME reality. Battlefield Earth seems to have overlook this little tidbit. John Travolta could’ve been seen pogosticking away into the sunset while singing "Good Morning, Sunshine" and somehow, it would not seem out of nowhere with this movie.

   I, LITERALLY, stood up on my seat and screamed at the screen at the end of this movie. I yelled "You have some balls to make me pay $7.50 to sit for 2 hours for that piece of crap!"

   I want my 2 hours and $7.50 back! And I want them now!

   this is the worst film I have ever seen.

   This is definately Travolta’s worst work, and should be avoided at all costs.

   A good movie disguised as a bad one.
   This is one of those movies that you have to watch more than once to understand exactly what’s going on. The character played by John Travolta is presumptuous — too smug in his advanced technology to believe that "man-animals" can be of any threat. I plan to add this to my personal collection.

   Bad enough to rend the fabric of space and time.

    In my opion, the critics have screwed this movie up!
    I have to admit this, I enjoyed Battlefield earth! But there are some reason to why I’ve given it a low mark. One, the baddies are the dumbest I’ve ever seen and Two, the plot is like any other sci-film take over film (battle the alien!)
    But the film has it moments, John Travolta is okay in the film. But the film is ruined by some of the cast’s acting. Okay to see just once! But it’s a shame that the critics ruin everything!

    Bad combo of Klingons, 1,000,000 BC & KISS. Yuk
    What was the plan for this? I dunno. The bad guys looked like Star Trek Klingons. The Sci-Fi was impossible (1,000 year old Harrier jets that worked, along with their rockets and A-Bombs). The plot was improbable - Aliens destroy Earth for gold?? It was a waste of time. In my old days, it was a 3 beer movie - drink 3 beers and it got a lot better!

    What was Travolta thinking…?
    This was hands down the FUNNIEST movie starring John Travolta
    that I have ever seen! Oh, it was not a sci-fi comedy? Oops. How was
    I to know?

    Everything about this movie was so very laughable.

    I still have a hard time believing that John Travolta pushed to have this movie created. Did we as an audience miss some vital piece of
    information that would have made us appreciate this film, or did the
    cast and crew really muck up the story that L. Ron Hubbard created?
    Either way this film is the worst movie that has been released so far
    this year.

    If this picture had been presented to us as a science fiction parody,
    ie. something not to take very seriously, then this might have been a
    decent piece of work and found some audience acceptance. (Am I
    stretching here? Possibly).

    Let’s review some of the comedic elements of this movie.
    First off, Terl (John Travolta) hates being on Earth. The skies are too
    blue, and the grass is far too green for the members of the Psychols.
    Luckily, the time has come for Terl to leave this chunk of forsaken
    rock or so he thinks until his superiors arrive and greatly lengthen his
    tour of Earthly duty. Why? Because he screwed (or so we are to
    think) a senator’s daughter. Very upset, he said that he would not
    have done it if he had known who she was. Typical male response,
    right?

    Next, take Johnny Goodboy Tyler, a resourceful young man-animal
    (Psychol verbage for humans) who comes to the attention of Terl
    because of his frequent escapes from captivity.

    "Is it possible that these man-animals are intelligent?", Terl ponders.

    Well, there is only one way to find out. Give the him direct access to
    a database containing information on the Psychlo language and
    technology without regard to what he would do with this new data.
    Did I mention that Terl graduated first in his Academy class and is
    the Chief Security officer?? This would have never happened on Star
    Trek!

    This is either a tragic oversite in character development, a joke
    between Travolta and the director or pure comedic genious. Who
    would have ever thought that an inept head of security would have
    conquered most of the known galaxy while making idiotic mistakes
    just like this one?!?

    What else makes this movie so darn funny? Take a tribe of roaming,
    face-painted, fur-wearing scavengers who just happen to learn how to
    fly jet fighters that still work after who knows how long (and it must
    have been a really long time judging from all the dust in the library scene) in just a few short days. Even with the still working flight simulator it would take months not days to learn how to expertly fly. Again this is pure creative genious…. (hopefully you have figured out that this review is seething with sarcasm).

    I could go on and on about this, but why bother. Haven’t I wasted
    even of my life just having to watch this horridly awful film?

    I will say this in closing. If this movie had been marketed as a sci-fi
    parody instead of your basic sci-fi action flick then maybe this film
    would have a fighting chance. Don’t let the fact that this movie took
    second place at the box office fool you. Its earnings are going to drop
    faster than a whore’s panties at a bachelor party (assuming she is
    wearing any).

    I cannot recommend this movie to anyone unless you happen to be
    drunk and looking for a few laughs. At that point I am sure you would
    not care what you are watching, and that’s the perfect arrangement if
    you are going to see this flim.

    worst thing I’ve seen this year…
    Bad story, bad acting, and let’s see..
    learning to fly a jet fighter in seven days..who’s the idiot writer that thought of that?

    I always liked Travolta even though he
    is mixed up in that Scientology crap,
    guess it’s found it’s way to his movie
    choices. to bad.

    Worst I’ve ever seen
    I’ll confess that I think that the quality of most movies has been dropping since it has been easier for Hollywood to profit on poor movies via cable deals and video rentals, but my opinion of Battlefield Earth is not in that realm of general disappointment at all.

    It was indeed the WORST movie I have seen in at least ten years. The only way this movie grabbed Travolta was because of his Scientoly brainwashing, and the only reason it got anybody else was because of Travolta.

    The plot is weak, the dialogue painful, and the interest level zero.

    In a word…

    SUX

    This movie is bad. I mean real bad. I can’t emphasize how bad this movie is. Well, I guess I COULD, but I HAVE seen a couple of theatrical pieces which would rate lower than this pile of garbage, if it was possible. I can probably count them on one hand that I’ve seen on the big screen.

    Anyway, bottom line, thsi movie was bad. don’t see it. You’ll thank me for it.
