Pros: A few decent special effects
Cons: Weak plot, Poor character development, Poorly conceived visuals
Summary: When I signed up for Epinions member Lynus' let's see you review this write-off, I had no idea what to expect. Most likely, due to my reputation for mercilessly bashing bad films, fellow movie reviewer Simply_Crispy chose for my...

Pros: scenery painting was very well-done
Cons: everything else!
Summary: NOTE - Dr. Freudine is a fictitious psychiatrist and my alter ego who sometimes helps me to review books, movies and music. Last time she got hooked on reading Socrates Café. ********************* I’m still watering my office ...

Pros: The sequel has yet to be made
Cons: Everything and more
Summary: Set in the year 3000, Earth has been invaded by the ugly Psychlos, and humans (referred to as ‘Man-Animals’) have become slaves, as their new masters regard them as a lower form of species. John Travolta plays a Psychlo middle management-type ...

Pros: Barry Pepper at least tried to act decently.
Cons: Plot holes, hammy acting, bad special effects, and an all around laughability surrounding it.
Summary: I heard about this movie when it came out ten years ago and haven't seen it until last week. I remember seeing stuff about it when it was released and everyone rightfully said “You don't want to see that, it's one of the worst movies ...

Pros: It's less than 2 hours
Cons: terrible acting, some very weak story-writing, a little too unrealistic, frustratingly bad editing and cuts
Summary: It took me 8 years to finally see Battlefield Earth, thinking to myself after I had seen the previews that this wasn't going to be a film I would or could enjoy. It racked up some awards denoting that it was the worst film of the year when ...

Pros: Mostly in focus.
Cons: Incomprehensibly bad filmmaking at virtually every level with no reasonable excuse.
Summary: While this film may someday be marketed as a potential cure for insomnia, there is little other reason to see it besides the fact that it has set the standard for bad filmmaking. Having seen this film, one may understand what is meant by the phrase, ...

Pros: You can use it for firewood
Cons: The fire would reject it
Summary: Let me confess to you my ultimate sin. I decided to watch this movie. Thats right. I was not forced or manipulated into doing it. My curiousity was peaked. All the critics were raving about how poor this film was, but as we all know critics can be ...

Pros: Decent special effects, acting, and plot, nice scenery and action
Cons: Some bad acting, lots of cheesiness
Summary: I think I'll be able to provide a rather well-rounded account of this movie's good points and bad (some people might have loved it, and some hated it, I don't expect there was much of an in-between). I'm going to try to come at this from a totally ...

Pros: Barry Pepper and the brilliant book...
Cons: Everything Else
Summary: The main plot starts off well, with Johnny Goodboy Tyler mounting his horse (a fine specimen, a white thoroughbred it turns out) and galloping off to see the world. He gets captured by Aliens called Psychlos (the sequence events leading to his capture ...

Pros: A decent space opera and a fair bit of fun.
Cons: Travolta is in less than top form.
Summary: "Battlefield Earth" has garnered a fairly bad rep, largely unjustified. Yes, it's associated with Ron Hubbard, one of the world's worst published SF writers and author of the looney-tunes pseudo-religion, "Scientology", a farrago of bad invention even...

Pros: Yeah Right.
Cons: More than I can name in under 15 words.
Summary: There are movies that are bad because the writers and director simply weren't competent enough to make what could have been a possibly good movie, like in "Resident Evil". There are movies that are so terrible you enjoy spending your time just laughing...

Pros: It ended.
Cons: It was made.
Summary: Disaster darlings! Absolute disaster. Aida on Ice has been shut down permanently. The dress rehearsal had been going swimmingly, other than Olivia Newton-John singing half a tone flat most of Act I, and then we reached the harrowing climax, the...

Pros: It's hilarious
Cons: ...when it's meant to be serious.
Summary: Henceforth, all movies should be evaluated in terms of Before Battlefield Earth and after, such is the effect this movie will have on the film-making community and viewers. No, really, it's just that bad.
First, let's discuss the...

Pros: Best American film since "Schindler's List"
Cons: Had to end some time
Summary: I remember the first time I saw "Schindler's List." I cried in the the theatre, I cried in the parking lot leaving the theatre, I cried on the car ride home.
The same thing happened when I saw "Battlefield Earth." It's the work of a true...
