Battle Field Earth: A Saga of the Year 3000 - Putting the Scientologist in Science Fiction


Rating: PG-13 This movie is appropriately rated since it is (P)retty (G)ood if you have an IQ of(13).

Imagine a world where everything has a blueish tint, is seen from a 30 degree angle, and is dominated by a race of aliens with nappy hair and poor acting skills. What do you get? A desire to join the Scientologists! (or maybe just a dull headache and the feeling that you are being punished for something)

Recommendations: Watch the movie with the Riff trax... And then turn off the movie and do something constructive with your life... Like play video games..

Highlights: The hero walks into a dirty wet window that his primitive mind was unable to recognize as a solid (don't give me that crap about glass being a liquid either). A group of illiterate cave men learn how to fly jet planes, arm nuclear weapons, and ultimately destroy an alien race that destroyed mankind in its prime in about a week. (Obviously they are Americans!) The alien chicks show just how undesirable a big forehead in a girl can be.

Disappointments: No midgets. But, from the aliens perspective, the humans are midgetish. So.... That's something. I was extremely disappointed that Tom Cruise was not in this movie, his involvement would have made this movie legendary.

What the heck was John Travolta thinking when he chose and stuck with this movie?

I would like to request a review of The Hulk, not the new Incredible Hulk Movie. I have not viewed the Ang Lee version and would like to know if it is worth my time.

I own this book and have for about 15 years. I even read it for a second time about 1 year ago. It is a story of human triumph. Very inspiring and the cave guys take several months before they start flying the jets.
