so i went and saw this film right , it was called " battlefield : earth "
, i was never interested in the previews , and never too terribly interested in the book , nor do i find scientology interesting , but after reading advanced reviews of how bad this film really is , i had that weird urge just to watch it .
well let me be the first to say , and so far in my view it 's safe to say : battlefield :
earth might be the worst film i have ever seen , yes even worse than " mr . magoo " , " blue in the face " , or " jaws : the revenge " .
roger christianson who s credits include set direction , and art direction for such great films as " alien " and " star wars " , directs this film with such amateurism , that the film looks and feels and in fact sounds so dumb , that it 's quite depressing .
the look of the film , is dark and drabby at times , but then bright and happy at other times .
the sound is terrible , and has the worst surround sound effects i 've heard .
the acting is nothing , the dialogue poor , and the make - up effects hideous .
here 's the so - called plot : earth 3000 . . . .
man is a endangered species , while aliens from the planet psychlo ( the aliens are named psychlo .
. .
i wonder why ? ! ) are invading earth , destined to put an end to those " man - animals " to an end , and destroy earth once and for all , of course we have our typical hero ( played terrible by barry pepper , who was great in a small role in 1999 's " the green mile " ) who is destined to go out , and save his planet !
one thing : he has to go up against , terl , the chief of security psychlo , who is played frankly , quite bad by john travolta , whom with dreadlocks , a big head , and green eyes just does n't work .
of course the sidekick to terl , is played by
( lol ! ! )
forest whitaker , who looks like a deformed werewolf of some kind .
our friendly human johnny ( barry pepper ) looks just as bad as well , with long scraggly hair .
i 'm not really sure how to quite explain the badness of this film , except just to say it 's terrible .
everything in this film is imcomprehinsable , from the make - up effects , which by the way are n't good , to the phony looking special effects , everything in this film is faulted .
in fact i do n't remember one part in this entire movie where i was having a good time , or enjoying myself .
in fact there is no part in the movie that i liked or enjoyed .
throughout the entire 127 minute running time , i was dying , constantly looking at my watch , and hoping maybe the projectioner would blow a bulb or something , sadly it did n't .
my advice to hollywood : get new scripts , new acting classes , better directors and damnit , make films like american beauty more .
faulted looks and feels and in fact sounds so dumb , that it 's quite depressing i 'm not really sure how to quite explain the badness it 's terrible phony looking here 's the so - called plot might be the worst film i have ever seen imcomprehinsable ( lol ! ! ) the sound is terrible , and has the worst surround sound effects i 've heard looks just as bad how bad this film really is terrible i was dying , constantly looking at my watch played frankly , quite bad directs this film with such amateurism hideous
