this be the battlefield earth of mini series . it have with a few exception and all the disastrous ingredient that doom that movie and will follow it to the grave in the turkey cemetery . they be both adaptation of book with a endless amount of page who have be turn to a complete mess by a script writer and a director ( in this case they be the same person . ) who clearly do not know what they be do and they have both a messiah wannabe that do not really deliver and a a hero ( play in this case by a guy that look like mark hamill but sadly the force be not with him . ) and a bunch of stupid bad guy who like to betray and mess up the life for each other and they be both contain scene steal from good production and they be both cheap production who try to look expensive with some ( often badly make ) computer animation . the exception that actually make the whole thing worse be the terrible work make by the lighting guy who do not even have the skill to turn on the light in his own living room and the camera work that for no reason at all sometimes be in tilted battlefield earth mode but for the most of the time be flat a a pancake and the extremely cheap and to small desert set that only content a pile of sand in the front of a backdrop paint a a desert and that turn very old very fast because it appear in almost every scene and and the bad idea by the costume designer to try to mimic the fifth element fashion madness with the addition of the silly hat ever make . silly moment to remember represent 1. every scene with the guild guy and who look like mst3k observer guy but with silly hat . 2. irulan show up at the party dress in her butterfly dress ( why butterfly . be the one with stuffed parrot in the cleaner . ) with match silly hat and together with a couple of guy with silly balloon hat . 3. paul the stand up comedian . 4. baron harkonnen in over acting overdrive and scream i and m alive . 5. every scene with the backdrop and because it new fit the foreground 6. every scene with the fremen fake religious cermonies and specially the water of life cermony . 7. the battle scenes where the same guys get kill a couple time and the same thing explodes over and over again . it be a lot more but it be a 1000 word limit on this so i good stop before i get carry away .
