Battlefield Earth: The Benchmark for Bad Hollywood Films

Wed, 20 Jun 2007 15:54:47 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author drainpipe - While this film may someday be marketed as a potential cure for insomnia, there is little other reason to see it besides the fact that it has set the standard for bad filmmaking. Having seen this film, one may understand what is meant by the phrase,...

Battlefield Earth: By Common Consent: I Give You The Worst Movie Ever Made

Mon, 8 Nov 2004 20:54:42 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author ninput - Let me confess to you my ultimate sin. I decided to watch this movie. Thats right. I was not forced or manipulated into doing it. My curiousity was peaked. All the critics were raving about how poor this film was, but as we all know critics can be...

Battlefield Earth: I know 254 people reviewed this already...

Tue, 27 Jul 2004 01:40:26 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author rabidrage - I think I'll be able to provide a rather well-rounded account of this movie's good points and bad (some people might have loved it, and some hated it, I don't expect there was much of an in-between). I'm going to try to come at this from a totally...

Battlefield Earth: A Fine Book Desecrated by a Crap-Flick

Sun, 18 Jul 2004 12:04:34 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author quipowerty - The main plot starts off well, with Johnny Goodboy Tyler mounting his horse (a fine specimen, a white thoroughbred it turns out) and galloping off to see the world. He gets captured by Aliens called Psychlos (the sequence events leading to his capture...

Battlefield Earth: It's not that bad. Honest.

Sat, 31 May 2003 19:04:15 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author catu11us - "Battlefield Earth" has garnered a fairly bad rep, largely unjustified. Yes, it's associated with Ron Hubbard, one of the world's worst published SF writers and author of the looney-tunes pseudo-religion, "Scientology", a farrago of bad invention even...

Battlefield Earth: So bad it's almost numbing.

Sat, 14 Sep 2002 23:32:49 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author deepthroat101 - There are movies that are bad because the writers and director simply weren't competent enough to make what could have been a possibly good movie, like in "Resident Evil". There are movies that are so terrible you enjoy spending your time just laughing...

Battlefield Earth: Razzie of the Century/Let's See You Review This Write-Off

Fri, 6 Sep 2002 16:42:19 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author skbreese - When I signed up for Epinions member Lynus' let's see you review this write-off, I had no idea what to expect. Most likely, due to my reputation for mercilessly bashing bad films, fellow movie reviewer Simply_Crispy chose for my...

Battlefield Earth: American Psychlo

Wed, 12 Jun 2002 16:25:21 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author MrsNormanMaine - Disaster darlings! Absolute disaster. Aida on Ice has been shut down permanently. The dress rehearsal had been going swimmingly, other than Olivia Newton-John singing half a tone flat most of Act I, and then we reached the harrowing climax, the...

Battlefield Earth: If "Star Wars" Were Rewritten By Klingons

Tue, 5 Feb 2002 18:34:29 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author wlswarts - I went into "Battlefield: Earth" expecting the film to be a complete lemon. I've never been much of a fan of John Travolta (Primary Colors still ranks near the bottom of my film barrel) and a lot of people I respected told me this was the worst movie...

Battlefield Earth: When Film Makers Go Amok!

Tue, 22 Jan 2002 17:35:56 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author binxinator - Henceforth, all movies should be evaluated in terms of Before Battlefield Earth and after, such is the effect this movie will have on the film-making community and viewers. No, really, it's just that bad.

First, let's discuss the...

Battlefield Earth: How bad does bad get?

Thu, 20 Sep 2001 18:49:35 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author Simply_Crispy - An old saying, amongst those far more cynical than I, believe that modern-day religions are created for two reasons: money and power. Even more cynical people would argue this case against the new age ‘basilica’ Scientology, founded by L. Ron Hubbard. A...

Battlefield Earth: Not the Scientology conscription ad you might expect just a very poor sci-fi outing...

Wed, 22 Aug 2001 12:29:27 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author iamlegend - As a comic book artist/writer and one day movie maker, I usually try and look to a number of diverse and conflicting sources in a bid to gain an overview of the mechanics of story telling and visual imagary. Mostly out of coriousity in part fueled by my...

Battlefield Earth: Only Dead Psychlos Should Watch This Crap [Kill Me Now Write-Off]

Mon, 13 Aug 2001 19:51:19 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author kuuleimomi - This weekend was all about pain: pain in the back [volleyball injury], pain in the neck [my beloved family] and pain in the butt [The Kill Me Now Write-Off]. kris-kochanski and dantesguide “borrowed” the idea from JennJoy and MattA75 and their You show...

Battlefield Earth: Weekend of Pain: Welcome Back Hubbard

Mon, 30 Jul 2001 03:13:49 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author 32_Footsteps - In some ways, for anyone who has been reading my last couple of pieces, you just had to wonder: what movie would I pick that is just well beyond putrid? And honestly, I'm willing to give any movie a chance. I sat through "Babe" just to see if it was a...

Battlefield Earth: Warning: shut your eyes, hold your nose, reach for the air freshener!

Sun, 8 Jul 2001 18:47:56 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author isinga - She made me do it; I didn't want to do it, I didn't want to do it. Now I regret that I did it. I have problems even trying to remember seeing such miserable acting as this. Even the old Rocky Lane and Ray Corrigan cowboy serials of my childhood were...

Battlefield Earth: I've seen worse in battlefield box office.

Mon, 4 Jun 2001 02:47:00 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author Monnie1976 - Since my husband has read the book Battlefield Earth he was naturally interested in seeing the movie. I, of course, objected since every critic from here to Psychlo has skewered this film as being the worst ever. But as husbands and wives often do, we...

Battlefield Earth: Out to lunch

Wed, 30 May 2001 20:19:45 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author mshea01 - I really wanted to hate this movie. I had heard nothing but horror stories about it, and I was really looking forward to

tearing it to shreds. Unfortunately for me, it really wasn't that bad. Sure, it is a whole movie based on misunderstanding

Battlefield Earth: When It Rains, It Pours

Mon, 21 May 2001 00:17:21 GMT

Battlefield Earth: Huh?

Mon, 7 May 2001 18:38:06 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author mcommini - That's all I could say throughout this movie and then especially at the ending. Not much seemed to make sense in this futuristic sci-fi story about a fellow named Johnny (Barry Pepper), who must save the human race from John Travolta and his evil...

Battlefield Earth: Wall Street meets Star Trek meets Planet of the Apes

Thu, 3 May 2001 00:39:57 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author dj_billings - Wall Street meets Star Trek meets Planet of the Apes - and that ain't bad!

I didn't see this in theaters, I rented it on DVD. After hearing some really bad reviews, I was curious. John Travolta doesn't make a lot of mistakes when choosing his roles,...

Sun, 22 Apr 2001 20:22:13 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author r_cragun - 3000 C.E. and the Earth is slowly being salvaged to feed the greed of the alien race that conquered the planet. One man, placed in just the right situation and given the perfect qualities of a leader, has the chance to give Earth back to humans...

Battlefield Earth: Love Is a Battlefield

Thu, 19 Apr 2001 06:12:40 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author ParisLemon - Oh good lord is this movie bad. Definately one of the worst movies I have ever seen. I sat down and watched the movie one night, and really did not want to watch the whole thing, but forced myself to. As Kelly Preston says "Scientology Rocks!", well...

Battlefield Earth: A Cruel Joke For Movie-Goers

Mon, 2 Apr 2001 19:52:00 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author LordofTerror - You know, for a while, this movie actually looked cool. Personally, I love sci-fi adventure films, and I don't mind John Travolta.

But they've really done it this time. This movie is so laughably bad that it can't, under any circumstance, be...

Battlefield Earth: Battlefield Boredom

Mon, 26 Mar 2001 00:15:23 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author icedspam - Here I stand with my friend at Blockbuster in the "New Releases" section. It's funny how their "new" releases have been there for a year, I somehow don't think they every get anything new. Blockbuster gives me the idea that Hollywood just quit...

Battlefield Earth: Battlefield Earth - A High Budget Film For Low Budget Fans

Mon, 19 Mar 2001 01:19:49 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author shaithis - I have come to the assumption that people expected far way too much from this film. That is the only reason people must be slamming this film constantly. Heck, I personally don't know how they used up a budget the size that it did, but if you had given...
