Having said that, Battlefield Earth is literally the worst film I have ever seen or will ever see. Wow! That movie is bad on levels that I did not believe could possibly be reached.
I had previously heard rumors about this movie being particularly bad, but I wanted to at least give it a chance. I rented this movie this last week, against the advise of several of my friends. After asking several people to sacrifice a night and watch this movie with me, only one other brave soul agreed to go on this adventure with me. The rumors about this movie were not wrong. It truly is awful.
I would discourage any person I actually care about from watching this film. The story is terrible; it makes no sense. I cannot believe the head of a major Hollywood studio agreed to make and invest in this film after reading the script.
The acting is depressing- especially John Travolta's performance. Travolta is one of my favorite actors, having starred in films like Grease and Saturday Night Fever. I think he is very talented and has a very gifted acting range. His character in Battlefield Earth, however, is clearly his worst acting decision in his career. It almost hurts to see such an epic actor embarrassing himself on the screen. I was very disappointed in Travolta for working on this film after reading the script. No amount of money he may have been paid makes his choice to play this role ok.
Thus, I would advise anyone even thinking of watching this to think twice. Listen to your friends who have already gone through the pain of seeing this. Don't try to be a maverick! Do yourself a favor- avoid this film!
Here is the trailer for the movie so you can get a better idea of what I am talking about.
