Worst movie ever? Not to me! One of the worst? Absolutely, ‘Battlefield Earth’ is being considered one of the worst movies ever. Alas, that is true! 'Battlefield Earth' has a silly storyline as well as an overuse of tilted angles and slow-motion, aliens that don't look like aliens, worthless action scenes and don't even get me started on acting (especially John Travolta)!!!
It is so ugly; John Travolta and Forest Whitaker play aliens but they look like the ugliest humans in the world, honestly, you turn a good looking man into an ugly, creepy alien who doesn’t even look like one, they're aliens, they're nine feet tall? They sound exactly like humans!
I'd agree with Roger Ebert who said:
"Hiring John Travolta and Forest Whitaker was a waste of money as we can't recognize them behind pounds of matted hair and gnarly makeup"
Agreed! I can hardly recognize Travolta but I can't recognize Whitaker at all! And I'd like to add, that matted hair, gnarly makeup, pointy nails and those tubes were a waste of money as they don't make them look threatening in the slightest!
The action scenes are worthless; there are too many scenes of nothing but explosion and the effects don’t make a difference and around 95% of scenes are tilted?! Who the hell filmed those crappiest angles ever
Don’t even mention the awful acting (especially John Travolta and Forest Whitaker), I cannot believe that John Travolta offered to do a role in this awful movie (and because he's a scientologist, he even funded it and lost a lot of money), I also don’t really understand why Ker joins the good side while Terl is locked up and can only look at tons of gold
‘Battlefield Earth’ is a truly crap movie and is definitely not worth a look at all, unless you want to see how bad it is
