Return

I have been an awful blogger. I haven't give my followers any good material in long time, so I decided to punish myself. Not inside a bath tub with a razor and a Taking Back Sunday cd, but by doing something much worse. I watched Battlefield Earth: A Saga of the Year 3000, perhaps the worst movie ever made, I kid you not. If you enjoy science fiction, action movies, interesting characters, and good stories please look elsewhere. I tried to look at why this film is so terrible but I got lost. I decided to make a list, unfortunately to pick every part of this movie that sucked would require seeing it again.

1. The script is based on Scientology founder, L. Ron Hubbard's book. If you know the beliefs of Scientologists then you can probably grasp how ridiculous and incoherent this movie is.

2. Almost every shot in the movie is a dutch angle, I was forced to tilt my head from side to side so I could watch this epic dump of a movie.

3. Travolta's acting is so bad it makes Robert Patterson, that d-bag vampire wanna be from the Twilight Series, look like Leo DiCaprio.

4. The plot is the biggest piece of garbage ever, relying on coincidence after coincidence to drag this story along. An example: the protagonist just happens to find Harrier jets which have been left in perfect condition for over 1000 years along with a training simulator for said jets.

5. The film is viewed as a pro-Scientology propaganda, which is hysterical considering how bad this movie did in theaters.

6. Forrest Whitaker is so disappointing. I mean he tries to do his best with the nine foot tall abortion of an alien, but he still blows.

7. The writer apologized publicly for his role in making this atrocity.

8. It sets up for the sequel, indeed this movie pulls a Super Mario Brothers and sets up for a sequel which will never happen, unless someone at Franchise Pictures decides to pick up his crack pipe. Wait, this movie directly lead to the bankruptcy of that company.

Ok, so I am sorry that this update has been so long in the making, but trust me, by watching Battlefield Earth I have suffered enough.
