Loaded with edge-of-your-seat action and extremely cool special effects, Battlefield Earth creates a totally new style of science fiction filmmaking.
Earth: It is the year 3000. Man is an endangered species. This original and innovative saga of alien conquest and human rebellion is filled with humor, adventure and jeopardy, mixed with special effects that are completely real, combined together for an explosive and highly entertaining movie that will leave you exhausted!
In a role as you've never seen him, John Travolta stars as the cruelly destructive Terl (Alien Security Chief Of Earth); Barry Pepper is Earth's Fiery Rebel Leader, Jonnie Goodboy Tyler, and Forest Whitaker as Terl's hilarious and deceptive assistant, Ker.

Okay????? - 2.5 out of 5 (1/15/2001)
At the heart of my review of "Battlefield Earth" is an old adage that my mother taught me well. That is, if you cannot say anything nice about something, then say nothing at all!
So how do I approach talking about the worst film of the year 2000?
Well, the film starred John Travolta.... Um, he looked good in his alien costume as Terl (except for the things hanging out of his nose, sure I knew they were breathing tubes after watching the movie, but on the cover? Jeesh!)

Love it or Hate it...but give credit where it's due - 4.25 out of 5 (1/27/2003)
I had heard nothing but horrible reviews for this movie until a friend reccomended it to me. I have since reccomended it and viewed it with a dozen or so people, and I have not found a single person who has seen it that doesn't like it.

Pleasant surprise, and wanting more... - 4.25 out of 5 (7/6/2002)

I thought it was a classic sci-fi story, and would love to see a major big-budget re-make in 10 or 20 years. It's pure sci-fi, with enough social commentary to make you smile.
It reminds me of another favorite of mine - Conquest of the Planet of the Apes. Both in plot and production. Conquest suffered on budget, but made the most with sets a
