what a bad film this be . i think the critic be exaggerate when they say how bad it be but they weren ` t battlefield earth be one of the bad film release by a major hollywood studio . it badly direct and badly cast ( barry pepper a jonnie make for one of the least impressive screen hero ever see . maybe travolta should have stick to his gun and play jonnie . he perhaps would have be slightly too old for the part but at least he do have some charisma unlike pepper ) and have one of the bad script ever write . an alien race call psychlos and sound just like psycho and i bet they ` re really evil and cruel . oh they be evil and cruel just like psycho . why do they think rat be the favourite food of human when it the only thing they ` ve see human eat . and why do they think rat brain be an insult to human . especially when they consider the man animal to be a primitive specie . and be i alone in find the term man animal irritate . surely it should be manimals . a far sharp and clever expression . but sharp and clever be no way to describe this script . city stand almost intact after a thousand year since the collapse of human civilisation . not only that but so do large amount of firearm and ammo and harrier jump jet and and a flight simulator for the jump jet where the human learn to fly within a week and and no doubt they ` ll learn what petrol be and learn to put it in the jet in order to fly them . do this sound very likely to you . let me put it this way represent go into a time machine and go back to the biblical time and capture a few dozen people and bring them back to the present and get them to become fighter pilot within the week . do you think they ` d be any good flying plane and shoot down enemy force . me neither . do you think they could overthrow a superior civilisation . me neither . do you think anyone involve with this film deserve to work again . me neither .
