Recklessly adapted from the novel by sci-fi author and Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard and set in the year 3000, the film is no worse than many cheesy sci-fi flicks, but the sight of Travolta as a burly, dreadlocked alien from the planet Psychlo provokes unintentional laughter from first frame to final credits. As Terl, the Psychlo security chief who conquers Earth and hatches a secret scheme to steal all the gold from Fort Knox (which sits conveniently in wide-open vaults), Travolta hams it up as if he knows he's in a camp-fest. (In a cameo as a long-tongued Psychlo seductress, Travolta's wife, Kelly Preston, only adds to the absurdity.) Barry Pepper (the praying sharpshooter from Saving Private Ryan) tries his best to convey charisma as Jonnie, the human slave who leads an uprising against Terl's tyranny, but he's adrift in a foolish plot that makes even smart humans look stupid.
The decrepit look of a dreary future is convincingly established (the ruins of Washington D.C. recall Logan's Run on a grander scale), but in the wake of its ludicrous climax, the best that Battlefield Earth can hope for is a Dune-like fate: it might improve in a longer director's cut--but that's wishful thinking. --Jeff Shannon

Customer Reviews of Battlefield Earth: A Saga of the Year 3000 [Region 2]
sucks if aliens ever attacked earth, we could show them this movie and they would leave.
WHAT?!?!?!?!?
Looking at reviews for this film, I saw that others actually gave it MORE than 1 star!

<
>I would give it ZERO if I could!

<
>This was absolutely one of the VERY WORST movies I have ever seen! I had read the book TWICE and absolutely loved it, so when the movie came out, I was very excited to go see it. Very few disappointments in my life were as bad as this one.
<

<
>The first half of the movie is more or less faithful to the book, but the second half totally abandons the book and becomes a brainless shoot-em-up film that has no heart, no plot, and no style.

>I can't believe that people actually want to OWN this film.

Horrible beyond description, but you should see it.
When I walked into the video store to rent this vid, the guy at the counter said "I heard that this was a really bad movie..." I looked him squarely in the eye and told him "Yeah- I've heard that this is the WORST movie ever made- that's why I need to see it."

<
>Comparisons between "Battlefield Earth" and Ed Wood's "Plan 9" are inappropraite. Plan 9 was so bad that it was actually fun to watch- Battlefield Earth, however, is sorta like watching a close-up video of eye surgery- however, this film's abysmal awfulness is unique, in its own way...
<

<
>The shock of the horrible acting, cheesy costumes, terrible direction, and puke-inducing cinematography never wears off- just when you think your intelligence and sense of aesthetics cannot be further insulted, this movie slams you again- and again- and again.
<

<
>This is a film to be endured, rather than enjoyed- if you can survive a viewing, you'll feel stronger for it.
