My wife made me do something special with her after seeing Battlefield Earth. To borrow a line from a reviewer, it is Plan 10 from outer space. Oh man was the movie awful, but weirdly in a good way. My wife and I kept asking ourselves... the stars, the director, the editors, they went to college didn't they?
The movie has enough gaping holes to fit Oprah Winfrey pre-diet through. It is so bad that it is hysterically funny. We were in an audience of about 15 people, and at least a third of us were chuckling all through out. Go to the Cineplex and watch this. Do what we did. We said we were watching Frequency, then slid into the Battlefield Earth theater. No point in financing this movie. But damn it was entertaining. I cannot picture a more inept movie being made without some serious drugs being taken throughout the whole movie making process.
We read the terrible reviews beforehand. That is actually what encouraged us to watch. I seriously recommend alcohol or other mind altering substances being taken beforehand, then watching this movie with a large group.
