Aliens pwned earth. Earth dude say "No way". Alien (Johhny T) says "Way". Aliens and alien homeworld get pwned.

Watched it on SciFi last night for the first time. Good concept. Poor application.

If you're thinking the book is better, well, it is, but only marginally. Overall, it's just plain stupid.

The book sucks. I think L Ron Hubbard was being paid by the number of words. I actually thought the movie was good in a Killer Tomatoes way. Travolta was hilarious, hopefully intentionally.

Did you even read through the 1st 150 pages?

Battlefield Earth is one of THE best sci-fi book ever written... well if you can sit through the 1st 150 pages of crap.

After that it is just as good as Ender's Game.

Trying to decide which is better between the book and the movie is like trying to decide whether you'd like your genitals set on fire or your teeth knocked in with a bat.

Undoubtably in the top 10 of the worst movies ever made. Not even good to watch from a getting a kick out of watching a bad movie point of view.

You will be forgiven if you say you loved it in a MST3K way.

It's a bad movie, overall. But on the Sci-Fi scale, it's average. There are much, much worse Sci-Fi things to watch. Most of the episodes of ST: Voyager were much bigger steaming piles of crap compared to this moive.

And yes, JT did pwn. :)
