   Is Battlefield Earth a bad movie?

   • Roger Ebert was the film critic of the Chicago Sun-Times from 1967 until his death in 2013. In 1975, he won the Pulitzer Prize for distinguished criticism. "Battlefield Earth" is like taking a bus trip with someone who has needed a bath for a long time. It's not merely bad; it's unpleasant in a hostile way. The visuals are grubby and drab.

   How bad is Battlefield Earth?

   • "Battlefield Earth" is like taking a bus trip with someone who has needed a bath for a long time. It's not merely bad; it's unpleasant in a hostile way. The visuals are grubby and drab. The characters are unkempt and have rotten teeth. Breathing tubes hang from their noses like ropes of snot.

   Is Battlefield Earth based on a true story?

   • In this inept futuristic epic adapted from the novel by sci-fi author and Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard, a greedy security chief (the ridiculous-looking John Travolta) enslaves prisoners to mine gold for him. When it was released, Battlefield Earth became an instant camp classic – think Showgirls in outer space.

   Not awful, but pretty bad. A third-string Planet of the Apes meets Star Trek, Battlefield Earth is a largely uninspiring sci-fi adventure with a Swiss-cheese plot. Full Review | Apr 30, 2014

   Battlefield Earth (2000) Here is the closest thing to a positive statement I can make about Battlefield Earth: Although it is an adaptation of a novel by L.
