BATTLEFIELD EARTH

This is the write up I gave Battlefield Earth on my ebay Auction. It is currently at £0.01p. Happy bidding!

"BATTLEFIELD EARTH". John Travolta's ambitious, unforgettable award-winning* vanity sci-fi project. Based on an interminable novel by Scientologist guru and fruitcake L Ron Hubbard, "BATTLEFIELD EARTH" is an example of how human ambition can triumph over talent.

Directed by someone who won an Oscar for Special Effects (to prove that this film has Oscar-Winning talent in all the wrong places), BATTLEFIELD EARTH is 112 minutes of illogical, disparate theory and cruddy acting.

Swoon as cavemen learn how to fly thousand year old jetplanes that miraculously still work! Yawn as characters you don't care about have a rancid green soup fight in caves! Blink as John Travolta grows three feet in height between shots... and then shrinks again... ! Once you have been exposed to BATTLEFIELD EARTH you will never forget it.

* It won awards at the Dallas Fim Festival for Worst Film, as well as awards at the Razzie convention for Worst Actor, Worst Director, Worst Picture, Worst Screen Couple, Worst Screenplay, Worst Supporting Actor, and Worst Supporting Actress.
