Het is werkelijk een slachting. New York Times, CNN, ABC, CBS en nog 100+
publicaties zeggen dat de film troep is. Ik had wel kritiek verwacht op
het wanproduct "Battlefield Earht" van Scientology oprichter L. Ron
Hubbard, maar wat er nu allemaal loskomt. Dit is echt heel erg. Dit gaat
Scientology centen kosten omdat zij geld zouden verdiende aan de BE
speeltjes. Net zoals ze al hebben verdiend door de licentie te verkopen
voor het gebruik van Hubbbards boek. Okay, het is dus een wanstaltig
product maar kranten die Hubbard een "crackpot" noemen, en de film zou de
"slechtste van deze eeuw" zijn en een "stapel stront". Nee, dat had ik
niet vewacht. Hier zijn wat korte stukjes uit de internationale pers. Ben
er trots op :-)

Deze pagina heeft onderstaande recensies en nog veeeel meer.

N.Y.Times-05-12: Worst Movie of the Century...

FILM REVIEW

`Battlefield Earth': Earth Capitulates in 9 Minutes to Mean
Entrepreneurs From Space
By ELVIS MITCHELL

Man is an endangered species," announces one of the titles at the
beginning of the sci-fi lump "Battlefield Earth." And after about 20
minutes of this amateurish picture, extinction doesn't seem like such a
bad idea. Sitting through it is like watching the most expensively
mounted high school play of all time. The film is stocked with evil
aliens who, in their padded body stockings, plastic armorlike fittings
and matted hair extensions, resemble nothing so much as members of
GWAR, the metal-rock parodists that Beavis and Butt-head loved. 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.

The Montgomery Advertiser", 5/11/2000:  "Battlefield Earth" review
http://www.montgomeryadvertiser.com/go/movies/battle_earth.html

By Marshall Fine
Gannett News Service 

Memory fails to summon the name of a movie as ludicrous and
unintentionally funny as "Battlefield Earth," John Travolta's act of
career hubris in service to the late Scientology crackpot, L. Ron
Hubbard.

Worcester (MA) Telegram: `Battlefield Earth' a waste of time
http://www.telegram.com/features/time_out/battle.html

By Daniel M. Kimmel
(Worcester, MA) Telegram & Gazette Reviewer

"Battlefield Earth" is a very, very bad movie, and yet
there is a certain pleasure to be had watching it.
Realizing it is the worst movie of the year means that it
can only get better after this. 

This movie is a career-wrecker along the lines of
legendary bombs such as "Ishtar" and "Showgirls." It will
be used to frighten young children and aspiring
filmmakers for a generation to come.

                  (CNN) -- Let's get one thing straight.
                  "Battlefield Earth" was only made because
                  John Travolta wanted it made. It's been his
                  baby from start to finish.

                  It's not a pretty baby.

                  There has been much speculation about this
                  film because it's based on a science-fiction
                  novel by L. Ron Hubbard, the founder of
                  Scientology. Travolta has been a longtime
                  member of the sometimes-controversial
                  group. Some feared the film would contain
                  subliminal religious propaganda sending
                  thousands racing into the arms of the nearest
                  Scientologist.

                  Fear not! That stampede you'll hear will be
                  audiences racing to the box office for a
                  refund, because this attempt at a sci-fi action
                  epic fails on just about every count.

Travolta has said he has wanted to do this movie for a long time, not
because of Hubbard�s Scientology, but because his novel "is a great
piece of science fiction." Maybe so, but Battlefield Earth, is nowhere
near a great movie. In fact, it�s a pretty gruesome mess.

BATTLEFIELD EARTH review
BATTLEFIELD EARTH is that amazing turd in your toilet bowl. That log of
shit that has colors that you can't understand the reason for being
there. It also has a weird shape... it somehow resembles something
familiar. You almost want to take a picture of it to show friends late
at night, when the blinds are drawn and have a dirty filthy thing you
want to disgust someone with, but... you have this inate
curiousity... "Have you ever seen anything quite like this?"
Your friend will inevitably take a look and say, "Whoa, what a piece of
shit!"
