Reviews Film / Battlefield Earth

I hate to break it to you, but ... my mother and I like it too.

I liked it.

I was 12 when I watched it though.

I found the book to be hilarious.

You're not the only one - I enjoyed this movie. Waterworld, too, for that matter. ^_^

I think im going to watch it, just to laugh. And laugh to at Scientology. (well, its creator anyway) :P

I watched last night. You know, I was expecting something really really really bad.

It was... ok. Mostly bad-ok, but there're a lot of worst movies out there. I don't know what the fuss is all about with this in particular.

I disliked the movie since it didn't do justice to the book, which I think is quite a decent science fiction adventure, just written for the 1950's not the 1980's let alone 2010.

Just saw it yesterday.

Every single wipe in that film is the same one. (Except for: the single crossfade, the jump cut to doors opening which is basically a cheaper version of the wipe, and the Fade to Black at the end where they do the wipe in reverse!) Now I fully understand The Simpsons joke where Homer insists on star wiping everything. It was so annoying and jarring it overrode all my other issues about this film.

... I'm sorry, but Battlefield Earth is the worst movie I've ever seen, and I've watched Alone in the Dark! Only the commercials in the broadcast kept me sane. This film makes me go berserk and I can't watch the whole think a second time. I just get too angry.

Audrey, the thing about "ok" is that "ok" is actually pretty low on the quality scale.

I liked Waterworld and The Postman, but found this to be abysmal, a terrible movie all the way thorought.

It is good for having a laugh with the friends on a evening, though.

Yes, you're the only person in the world who enjoyed this movie. That's why it's listed as "So Bad It's Good" and a fair amount of the other comments have people also saying that they liked it.

Sarcastic remarks aside, I think the only way I can really agree with you is that it's so poorly constructed that it's funny.

I refuse to believe that anyone could like The Postman.

I-It's just not possible..

Comment on a four-year-old review? Why not! This is one of the rare movies I just couldn't make it through, try as I might. The godawful colors, the angled shots, the way jet turbines and other droning machinery constantly assaulted the senses was just too much. Reading sarcastic reviews of this mess has provided hours of enjoyment though!

I brayed with laughter at the stupidity of quips like "endless options for renewal" and "spell your name", but other than that, holy, crow. I'd been looking forward to the opportunity to see this, just to see how bad it really was, for a while. Of course, what I saw confirmed what I had heard ... kind of like how I expected Waterworld to turn out.

This is one of the most hilariously bad films ever, so of course plenty of people will enjoy it for its stupidity.
