All true, but if you think this is the worst sci-fi movie ever made you haven't seen Star Trek Into Darkness.

"These humans, technologically regressed to the point of using sharpened sticks, can not only start modern aircraft, but fly them effectively." *ding* "Also, these aircraft are completely functional. And their fuel hasn't turned into turpentine. And their missiles aren't rusted in place. Buildings and skyscrapers are returning the earth, but these jets look like they just came off the assembly line." *ding*

The only person missing from this movie was Tom Cruise as Xenu lmfao

Hubbard created "Psychlo" not as malapropism of "psycho", but as contraction of "psychologist", because he had these paranoid conspiracy theories about psychologists after he had had to undergo psychiatric evaluation (and diagnosis asa sociopath) after his wife had filed for divorce on reason of Hubbard constanty beating and abusing her, esp while she was pregnant. If you read Hubbard's unhinged book _Dianetics_ that would later lead to Scientology, one of his paranoid-misogynistic obsessions was the idea that pregnant wives were constantly having extramarital affairs or trying to abort their babies by running belly-first into tables. Go figure. ("No, your Honor, the bruises on my pregnant wife's belly are not from me beating her with a stick! She keeps running into tables on purpose!")

Oh and I forgot another thing. The AV8 Harrier is a MARINE jet. Fort Hood, now Ft. Cavazos, is an ARMY base and would never have a Marine aircraft. Ft.Hood does have fixed wing aircraft. They fly the A10 Thunderbolt a very agile aircraft that would be a fine choice to fly against the Psyclo aircraft. But remember John Travolta told him that all our fighters got decimated in 9 minutes! So a team of cavemen were able to divine how to fight? I mean from flying the most difficult jet, and understanding the weapons systems of that jet. Oh yeah and the 1000 year old jet fuel was able to get those jets from Central Texas all the way to Denver Colorado and have the fuel to fight?

Intertainment, sued producer Franchise Pictures for fraud. Franchise claimed the budget was $75 million instead of the actual budget of $44 million. Franchise was ordered by the court to pay Intertainment $121.7 million in damages, and went bankrupt. Intertainment only financed the film because it came as a package deal with The Art of War (2000) and The Whole Nine Yards (2000).

*NOTHING* about this film deserves a sin off. In fact, it deserves one more sin for you suggesting that.

This is a movie inspired by the book if anything. There are so many things they just removed or glossed over from the book. For instance; how Johnny knows about the whole nuke thing is because the aliens breath gas got exposed to some uranium ore that was mixed into gold and caused an explosion. An accident makes much more sense as to why Jonny knows this is a thing rather then learning it threw the machine. The movie changes things like this threw out. Something makes sense in the book, lets change that so it makes no sense at all.

The book this was based on was actually really good The actual battle for earth as multiple alien races descended on earth after Psyclo had been destroyed and the eventual resolution were very satisfying. I cannot express how deeply disappointed i was in this movie.

Travolta's acting in this movie is on par with Kevin Costner's English accent in Robin Hood!

The film lists a 73 million dollar budget: However, In 2007 Franchise Pictures was sued by its investors and went bankrupt after it emerged that it had fraudulently overstated the film's budget by $31 million. Which is still more than the final box office of the movie.

"There's so much Dutch in this angle it's practically Paul Verhooven." Killed me.

I've seen this movie. But the fact that barely any scenes looks familiar right now, tells a lot about it.

That 2 seconds at 19:24 *also* flips the bird at the 180 degree rule with whatever was left of Forest Whitaker's hand

14:16 i now understand that the script intended the past tense of "fight", but Barry clearly says "we took this one chance , and FART!"

In 1979, a band called the GERMS made an incredible song called "Manimal". Maybe that's why the show didn't use it. They knew people like me would call them out on it.

I think the idea is that the Psychlos would stop their attack on Earth because Terl is there as hostage? But Terl is considered a traitor, so...

Sinning a historical recreation is a bit harsh. It's like if you made sin video on one of those dinosaur documentary recreation movies.

Listening to this at work, heard the bonus round music start up and IMMEDIATELY thought, "This is gonna be for 'rat brain'," and YEP!

What's truly remarkable is that you managed to condense the horror to only 23 minutes. Every single scene in this travesty is a sin. Just horrific. For the record, inside the Church of Scientology they firmly believed that this would surpass Titanic and Avatar to become the greatest movie of all time.

I think the (BATTLEFIELD EARTH) story, should be made into a show series.

"Manimal" was the name of a TV series.

I'm totally with you on this film needing cult status. Besides being badly acted and made, it is so ungodly stupid, all whilst taking itself 100% seriously. It honestly cracks me up.

Battlefield Earth should’ve been a Tyler Perry film!

I didn’t expect a quote from “Scrubs” as a sentence… but I love it!

My darkest secret is that back in the day I liked this movie, In my defense I thought it was intended to be a comedy.

This POS should have started with infinite sins, due to the crappy directing, editing, adaptation, acting, cinematography and the stupidity of the previewers who said " Oh, yeah ". Hell this whole movie should have been left on the cutting room floor and then burned down the studio. And, I deserve some too for actually watching the whole damn thing.

Now imagine yourself trying to explain how they work to someone who'd never used one - in detail (not just tap that bit to get to your settings).
