Leave your thoughts about Battlefield Earth.
| Decent Films GuideSteven D. GreydanusNo, it doesn’t rise to the appalling heights of awfulness of such legendary mega-bombs as Ishtar or Burn Hollywood Burn. It hasn’t the wit. |
| Dark HorizonsGarth FranklinThe story is quite weak, with the pace all over the place. |
| Entertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanBattlefield Earth is just a lumbering, poorly photographed piece of derivative sci-fi drivel, full of grunting extras scampering around in animal pelts and more dank, trash-strewn sets than I ever care to see again. |
| Cinema CrazedFelix Vasquez Jr.There's really only one way to summarize my sheer hatred for what is possibly one of the worst movies I've ever seen. And it's through a list. |
| Reel.comMarc FortierIt's probably obvious by now that Battlefield Earth is far from cerebral or anything even remotely serious. |
| MovielineMichael AtkinsonI haven't seen such a laughably incompetent summer movie since summer movies became summer movies some 25 years ago, and that's saying a pantload. |
| Daily Mail (UK)Christopher TookeyThe plot is like a talentless adolescent's attempt to rewrite Spartacus as science fiction. |
| NewsdayGene SeymourThe words 'so bad it's good' strain to make themselves heard through the film's coarse bluster and grimy din. |
| Laramie Movie ScopeRobert RotenThe end result is a high-budget star vehicle with big special effects that looks in every other way like any one of over a hundred other nameless low-budget post-Apocalyptic science fiction movies that have been made in the last 30 years or so. |
| Film.comRobert HortonThe film is Travolta's baby, but indifference and boredom is everywhere. |
