About this product

Product Information

It's the year 3000, and Earth is under the dominion of the Psychos from planet Psychlo, a race of nine-foot-tall aliens intent on strip-mining the planet and using the remaining scraps of backward humanity (which they call Man-Animals) as slave labor. Jonnie "Goodboy" Tyler (Barry Pepper) is an ambitious young man who decides to explore the region beyond his home, to learn more about the monsters who have taken over his world. Terl (John Travolta), head of Psychlo Security, is ready to leave the backwater planet, but when he is denied a promotion he schemes to make himself wealthy and powerful. Terl comes across Jonnie and decides the human's above-average intelligence is just what he needs, educating him and letting him loose to mine gold in an isolated region. Jonnie must take this opportunity to try to destroy the Psychlos and free humanity from oppression, with only the help of the other disorganized tribes still existing on planet Earth, and with Terl watching his every move. BATTLEFIELD EARTH is an action-packed sci-fi movie based on the best-seller by L. Ron Hubbard, which Travolta (who both starred in the movie and produced it) had wanted to make into a movie for more than 15 years.

Battlefield Earth Epic Must See
Top notch acting by Travolta And Whittaker, Travolta's evil laugh is like music to your ears. This is Forrest Whittaker's break out role for which he will always be remembered for-fondly. Th use of Dutch angles made you feel like you were right there, I found myself leaning left or right in my chair to maintain my sense of balance. No plot holes, everything explained thoroughly but in a way that lets the story follow smoothly and keep your attention. I hope they adapt this for 3D or make a sequel, that would be awesome!Top notch acting by Travolta And Whittaker, Travolta's evil laugh is like music to your ears.

Battlefield Earth: A MUST among MUSTs
One fine morning my friends woke me up to tell me they had just watched the best movie this sorry excuse of a planet had ever seen! They were talking about Battlefield Earth, acclaimed as one of the worst film to roam the earth. Indeed, many parts of the movie are confusing: - Humans can crash through 5-6 layer of glass and bear no scratches. - Aliens believe the human's favorite food is uncooked rats, despite an access to all the world's libraries for a 1000 years. - Humans are back to stone age but are able to use flight simulators, F-16s and nuclear weapons. - Harriers can still hover after a 1000 years without fuel or upkeep. - Aliens believe that the dog is the superior specie because they took a snapshot of one being driven by a "man-animal". - Aliens cannot breathe human air, ...

Indeed, with endless options for download (and renewal), why bother spending the money we can ill-afford to spare. Well I just spent said money to buy the special edition! Since I watched the feature, it's been like a drug, I cannot express the grim feeling running through my soul if I cannot reach my computer to watch what I like to call the "Ambassador Scene" (unarguably the best scene in the whole wide world). If you've spent a good night out with friends, it will provide the last good laugh you need to call it a day. Go ahead ans treat yourself. I know I've earned it! Herr Dr. Pönn

One of the worst films EVER made
It's one of those films that you've probably heard about and as one of the most expensive flops of all times that's hardly surprising. Because, believe me it's bad, truly, truly bad. After watching this film for the first time I was left with the sense that if everyone involved and just tried 10% extra it would be - without doubt the single worst film of all times, even worst than Plan 9 From Outer Space. As it is, Battlefield Earth ranks along side Freddy Got Fingered in terms of appallingness and is so bad it'll almost certainly make you angry. There's little to recommend it. At the time, Travolta seemed determined to piss away any remaining kudos he'd gotten from Pulp Fiction with as many bad acting roles as possible and this must rank as the single worst acting performance of his ...

As it is, Battlefield Earth ranks along side Freddy Got Fingered in terms of appallingness and is so bad it'll almost certainly make you angry. There's little to recommend it. At the time, Travolta seemed determined to piss away any remaining kudos he'd gotten from Pulp Fiction with as many bad acting roles as possible and this must rank as the single worst acting performance of his career. That his performance outshines everyone elses is a testimony to just how bad he is. The story is laughable, the plot holes hilarious - Harrier Jump Jets that still work after a thousand years of sitting in mountain caves? - To name but one. And yet despite all that I've managed to watch it twice, even now as I write these words I ache for its awfulness. It's like watching a train crash - you'll end up mesmerised by it's badness, stunned by the fact anyone made it in the first place. If only it was bad enough to enter that legendary pantheon of - So Bad it's Good movies, but sadly it isn't. Sure you'll meet people who'll swear blind it's brilliant but in my opinion it's probably best to ignore them, they'll either be mentally challenged or Sciencetologists. Buy it and watch it for a laugh but don't expect to be able to watch it all the way through without resorting to the fast forward button.

A good Sci-Fi with a lot of detail that is overlooked by many veiwers.
This movie failed at the box office. However, I thought it was a very entertaining movie with some great acting. I had seen this movie when it first came out and remembered it to be entertaining so I searched online to purchase it. Some people may think it's a bit corny, but all in all the story line is deeper than just action. Rather than subtitles they do appear to speak in English when in fact they are not at times. This may be a factor in how it was received I don't know, but I enjoy the movie enough to want it in my video library.This movie failed at the box office.
