Amusing Battlefield Earth review

Post by **weemadando** » 2003-02-25 06:02am

Before its release, some of Scientology's critics suggested that Battlefield Earth would be filled with subliminal messages in an attempt to recruit or brainwash viewers. They needn't worry: Outside of marching on Washington in Nazi uniforms while burning crosses and clubbing baby seals, it's hard to think of a worse way to recruit converts than to subject them to this surreal atrocity, an adaptation of Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard's 1982 novel.

A good deal of its screen time is devoted to "man animals" and their supposed preference for eating raw rats, which may be a canny bit of psychology on the filmmakers' part. After all, eating raw rodents is one of the few activities that sound less appealing than watching Battlefield Earth.

ROLFMAO!!!

Arigato, I finally found out why everyone had big .jpg and .gif avatars and I couldn't so I went and found some free compressor proggies to use. Go me!

Go you indeed.

On topic: Some films are in the category of 'so bad they're actually kinda good' but Battlefield: Earth is more along the lines of well...shit.
