Ik heb nu aardig wat recensies gelezen en de boek heb
ik me ooit๏ฟฝns een keertje doorheen geworsteld. Vraag me
niet hoe. Als ik een vrijkaart zou krijgen voor Battlefield
Earth is het nog jammer van mijn tijd.
Tijd voor een boycott van de secte-verkoper Travolta
door de filmindustrie.
Al met al heeft de tam-tam rondom de film $cientology
alleen maar slecht gedaan. Een hoop venijn over de
criminele secte is in ene losgebarsten in de americaanse
pers. Ben bijzonder tevreden weer:-)

Heri,
Icee.

Unbelievably bad  May 10, 2000

 Reviewer: A viewer from Dallas, Texas
I was not expecting great cinema, but even my meager expectations
were shattered. This movie was so bad that it defies explanation.
The book wasn't great, but it certainly deserved better treatment than
this - I thought JohnTravolta liked Hubbard! Bad acting and a script
whose best feature was horrible dialogue were not saved by the
special effects. Seriously, the effects were nice, but the suspension
of disbelief required from this movie left many of the twelve-year-old
audience members laughing aloud at the screening I saw. I went for
free and still wish I hadn't seen it. Don't waste your time.


Shameful  May 3, 2000

Reviewer: A viewer from Atlanta, Georgia
The plot was thin and tired. The special effects, while very expensive,
were stolen from so many better Sci-fi genre films, they would be too
numerous to list here. The acting was deplorable to such an extent
that I found the CGI actors performances questionable. I predict a
swift descent of John Travolta's career, the likes of which has not
been seen since "Urban Cowboy". This movie if for people who
thought "Independance Day" was too high brow. I saw this movie
for free and I paid too much. Really, really awful.
