It's a lock to pile up the honors during Hollywood's annual awards season next spring (at the Golden Raspberries and the MTV Movie Awards).
An underlit, overlong, underwritten and overloud albatross of a movie.

The story's broad strokes are painfully clichéd and its details make no sense at all.
Awful in so many different ways.
The only danger in seeing this film is in busting a gut at its unintentional hilarity.
It may be a bit early to make such judgments, but Battlefield Earth may well turn out to be the worst movie of this century.
In the pantheon of cinematic train wrecks, from "Ishtar" to "Waterworld," set a place at the table for Battlefield Earth.
This is the most watched movie since Star Wars!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is a terrible movie, but it has a satisfying ending.
John Travolta's acting was, as usual, awful. You expect a powerful voice to come out of that enormous face, and especially when he's on stilts as he is in BE. However, Travolta has a brittle, high-pitched, shaky voice. It's no good for an actor.
Especially for the main character (and I feel he was the main character).
The story was good, but the transitions from one scene to the next were the worst I've seen from any movie. It reminded me of a 60's TV sit-com show, like I Love Lucy.
The special effects were not the worst I've ever seen, but they were not good.
The main good guy has the perfect face for an actor, and he does a great job.
His lover girl is also good in the movie.
Forrest Whitaker did a good job, except for the evil laughing.
Most of the other actors were pretty bad. Some of them were god-awful.
I think especially of the pilot in the jet who saw his buddy get shot down, and he yelled, "Nooo!!" It was terrible acting, like he was trying to keep his voice down so as not to wake the people in the neighboring studio.
There were a couple other scenes like that with terrible acting.
I bet it would've been a better film if they got a better actor instead of Travolta.

I saw a bit of this years ago, not the entire film but enough to see it was boring. Finally having watched Battlefield Earth in full I can honestly say this is John Travolta's worst film along with Face/Off and Broken Arrow. Battlefield Earth is slow, the humour is awful, the explosion scenes are okay but besides that the action is awful. No story, and no character development and it looks depressing. Poor acting and it made zero sense.

You might wonder how any movie with John Travolta in dreads could go wrong, but try as he might, the actor's conviction couldn't help this sci-fi clunker (based on a novel by the Scientology founder) impress on even a basic level. Unforgivably awful, it even lacks that so-bad-it's-good campiness that has saved other films like it.
