Amazon.com:
When Battlefield Earth was released in May 2000, this inept sci-fi epic qualified as an instant camp classic, prompting Daily Variety to call it "the Showgirls of sci-fi shoot-'em-ups." Other reviews were united in their derision, and toy stores were left with truckloads of Battlefield Earth action figures that nobody wanted. As the film's star and coproducer, John Travolta must have felt an urge to enlist in the witness protection program.
Recklessly adapted from the novel by sci-fi author and Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard and set in the year 3000, the film is no worse than many cheesy sci-fi flicks, but the sight of Travolta as a burly, dreadlocked alien from the planet Psychlo provokes unintentional laughter from first frame to final credits. As Terl, the Psychlo security chief who conquers Earth and hatches a secret scheme to steal all the gold from Fort Knox (which sits conveniently in wide-open vaults), Travolta hams it up as if he knows he's in a camp-fest. (In a cameo as a long-tongued Psychlo seductress, Travolta's wife, Kelly Preston, only adds to the absurdity.) Barry Pepper (the praying sharpshooter from Saving Private Ryan) tries his best to convey charisma as Jonnie, the human slave who leads an uprising against Terl's tyranny, but he's adrift in a foolish plot that makes even smart humans look stupid.
The decrepit look of a dreary future is convincingly established (the ruins of Washington D.C. recall Logan's Run on a grander scale), but in the wake of its ludicrous climax, the best that Battlefield Earth can hope for is a Dune-like fate: it might improve in a longer director's cut--but that's wishful thinking. --Jeff Shannon

Don't care what anyone says out there. This movie was great in it's right and is just plain fun to watch. People say the acting was horrible and there were too many pot holes and factual errors? I say crap on you. IT'S A SCI-FI FILM!!!!! Who cares how accurate it is or how cheesy or not cheesy. Enjoy it for what it is - a movie adaptation of a really crappy book. John Travolta did a better job than L. Ron Hubbard ever could have!

I had loads of negative thoughts going through my head when I first saw Battlefield Earth. People rave that this is one of the worst movies ever and that it was a piece of junk that should never have been made. I watched it for myself and I was impressed. First of all the story's plot line was nothing new to me. Earth being overrun by vicious aliens and humans fighting back to save their planet. That's a great plotline because I love post-apocalyptic stories. This one may not be as great as The Stand, ... Read More

Though I've been itchin' to use the title, 'Plan 9 From Outer Space, Move Over' ever since I spotted a copy of 'Battlefield Earth: A Saga of the Year 3000' in the used video section of Goodwill, I can't really say that 'Battlefield Earth: A Saga of the Year 3000' is the worst movie of all time, or the millennium, or the century, or even the year. Though some people have called it that, I suspect that it is a bit premature, since it was released in the year 2000 and there is still one hundred years to go ... Read More

I was so happy to find this piece-o-turd for about a buck and a half at a yard sale. Now I can download the Riftrax and enjoy listening to the former MST3K pros tear it to shreds.

Most cliche ridden bizarre film I've ever seen, and I've watched Zardoz! If you approach this as the horrible turkey it is, then you can enjoy the horrific acting, sets, dialog, well.. everything. This thing resulted in a $121 million dollar law suit, and it's easy to see why. If you're a turkey watcher, you'll enjoy this bad film (although the premise is actually promising, and in competent hands could have been a good sci-fi movie). If you want to only watch good stuff, skip this!
