OUCH! 😆

that wouldnt stop bad movies

The Third Man (1949) and Natural Born Killers (1994) made them work.

@@kingamoeboid3887 Then, Battlefield Earth ruined it.

I still love the security camera scene. Filmed in a Dutch Angle, watching a Security Camera feed in a Dutch Angle that the camera itself was place in a Dutch Angle. One more Dutch and and it would have been upside down. 😆😆😆

Elie Samaha???? HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! (gag) HA! (gasp!) HA! HA! (Choke) HA! HA! He's wrong!!!! HA! HA! HA! This could go on for a long, long time....

L Pendergast that's usually the case with the worse movies

L Pendergast I agree.

@L Pendergast The word is "than" not "then". Thank you.

Sean put more effort than Doug Walker in his Battlefield Earth review.

Travis De La Fuente I admit. Sean does put more detail in the movies he review. I like it and like him.

I thought that character looked more like Worf ..if Worf was a drag queen.

Thing is I Liked Forest in that role. Miles better than Travolta's campy cringy toon. We are still talking about a shite movie.

Yes, he's barely tilted at all.

At least it doesn’t make my eyes bleed

Count your blessings, dude! My neck hurts from tilting it so many times trying to watch this video!

When does it become the escher angle?

Your Dutch oven isn’t shitty enough.

Indeed, it was a terrible sequel to Battlefield 1942.

***** Wait, Battlefield 2142 wasn't the official game for the movie?

He’s wearing a weird al shirt and looks like the biggest lame o I’ve literally ever seen your hero sucks bro get a new one!!! I can help hmu on my celly!!!

I just saw it yesterday.

@@a-aron4148 hold on - are you casting aspersions on someone for wearing a Weird Al shirt? You need to go re-examine your life.

True

I still like his work...

Darius French He never really was!

;l

Darius French He never was!

Space has radiation too, right?

Good list but also: 2) In all the Psychlos advanced technology, we're meant to believe that there is not a single nuclear bomb or reactor in their entire civilization. They have interstellar travel but never figured out how to split the atom, technology humans figured out in the 1940s (over 15 years before we sent humans into space I might add)

The Scientology founder was the author of trash sci-fi. Utter junk. The Scientology "scriptures" he wrote are almost unintelligible. Why would this movie be any different?

This movie makes The Last Jedi look like a masterpiece of plotting.

@siralanlordsugar What are you talking about? There are more plot holes here than in Michael Bay's movies, and Bay's movies aren't even that plot hole ridden. With the exception of Pearl Harbor and some of the Transformers sequels, his movies are generally pretty tight with their narratives. Are there questionable elements here and there? Sure, but no worse than most other action movies.

Little did he know 😏

Great line from the British TV show QI: "When I was young & I told people I was going to be a comedian they laughed. Well, they're not laughing NOW!"

Famous last words!

Marc Colten “yeah, no one is...”

Well, He did say they took notice. Well, we did.

Yep. Only Jon Stewart! LOL 😂😂😂

Felt that was an insult to Star Wars, doesn’t deserve to be in the same sentence.

Would it be possible to send me a copy of that script-I'd love to read it thanks.

The studio should have trusted J.D. Shapiro...

The book was shit too! Its like reading a rejected twilight show sketch! Either way he would have the same thing come to him.

Harry Woofler I respect your opinion, but the book actually received *mixed* reviews, unlike the movie.

Helena Caju That doesn't mean the book wasn't shit. I read the thing and I couldn't make it past the first act; it was that bad!!

damn

emma duncan little did he know indeed.

emma duncan Famous last words!

i laughed for a good 5 minutes!!

Oh God lol

Good thing you aren't doing shots every time a scene is tilted at an angle. You would all be dead before the film is even halfway over.

So that’s what it’d be like to apply the Steven King Drinking Game to Battle Field Earth...if you got the reference there, 20 bonus points for you.

drinking game? sounds more like a way to render yourselves comatose...

Player 6 : 1 shot for every time they laughed

Also known as a quick route to alcohol poisoning.

Goldmember: "Yesh, yesh, yesh, but gold ish very shexy!"

In the book the Psychlos are heavily mining Tungsten as well

And rhodium, and dysprosium...

Iridium?

Unatainium.

In the book the Psychlos look like Wookiees with gas masks.

At least the stormtroopers were shown to be at least dangerous like in the opening in the original film and winning the battle of Hoth. It's when battling the main heroes they couldn't hit unless if the plot called for it. The psychlos were mostly an informed threat with pretty much little establishing how deadly they can be.

They were pretty scary in the book. This movie was not the book.

"Glorious emperor of mankind, we spotted a bunch of xenos over there enslaving feral humans. Your orders Highness?" "Ah...let's have some fun. Send in the 8th."

Zak Kizer I agree with you on that.

Zak Kizer He should also review A League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen. That killed Sean Connery’s career. As far as to my knowledge, he has not made a comeback yet ever since.

Eddie Olshefski Connery’s career didn’t die until the animated atrocity Sir Billy, but it was pretty close.

@@tedgruver7618 Never heard of it 😶 Probably for the best.

Eddie Olshefski Connery was actually so disappointed with how Extraordinary Gentleman came out thst he decided to quit the acting business (live-action acting, to be precise).

Who says they don't use this movie to torture people? Especially on people that read and loved the book...lol

Timliu92 Echo...echo...echo...Hey! Hey Hey...now pinch hitting for Sammy Soda...Manny Mota....

Because you are an alien who likes ice cream and literature

Oh, I'm sorry, I just have a bad habit of repeating myself, repeating myself, repeating myself (smack) I'm an idiot.

ENDLESS OPTIONS FOR RENEWAL ENDLESS OPTIONS FOR RENEWAL ENDLESS OPTIONS FOR RENEWAL

maxacorn I only read the first half of the book, but the ending you described sounds so ludicrous I am glad I didn't bother!

i am glad i could save another person from that shit.

?

@@3Guys1Video A reference to 'The Princess Bride'.

It's WAY more blatant in the book. There (spoiler alert) the Psychlos are all under the influence of mind-control implants from a cult of medical scientists called "catrists".

I think we are being misdirected by very subtle, sophisticated psychological operations. If you read the Georgia Guidestones, Agenda 21, or the program outlined in the People for a New American Century policy statement, that all these blows that are being hurled against us are mechanisms that will put in place the Great Sacrifice of 2020. All the military and fema assets are not there for vaccines or martial law, but for the aftermath. There are maps showing how a vastly reduced population, that are chipped and genetically engineered for docile obedience, will live in an interconnected network of smart cities with most land zoned as wilderness areas; with buffer zones and off limits to humans. I think it a possibility that this coming winter could witness the death of billions worldwide; and not through engagement but through privation. Shutting down the food and power will do this easily in the northern latitudes; they need only retreat behind their walls and underground facilities and wait a month. The military assets will take a defensive posture and then quickly transition to clean up and construction. This culling will fulfill the warnings outlined in all these steering committee documents, will clear the way to the founding of the New Atlantis: the New World Order. America won’t be brought back for the very notion of the Nation State is beginning to fade, having served its purpose. Simultaneously, it can serve as the vastest blood sacrifice of all time to inaugurate Jerusalem as the capital of the world and the establishment of the Third Temple from where all Law will flow when the evil Torah is finally laid on its altar. This was always the plan and now the zodiac says begin. The Phoenix of the New World will rise from the ashes as the dark shadow of its black wings spreads across the Earth (an anagram of Heart.) Now that it has begun it will happen fast and the first histories of this Great Transition could appear by 2030. I heard about a movie where Joe Pesci is talking to two government agents and says, ‘why do you guys do this? What do you get? I see you live on coffee and fast food. We have family, children, friends, food, love. What do you guys have?’ There was silence and then one answered, ‘We have America, everyone else is just visiting.’

@@markalexander987 NGL. You completely lost me at Georgia guidestones.

koga soldier schizophrenia is a helluva disorder

@@markalexander987 Cocaine is one helluva drug.

Same here, I love this when I was young. But I heard the movie was abysmal so I never went to see it, thus my vision of the story remains intact!

Agreed

I'm about halfway through the novel and I love it. Hubbard was a good writer.

Liked the book, more the second half then the first. Movie was painful

the real reason scientology is so anti-psychology: in the 50's, L Ron Hubbard was trying to market it as a form of therapy, not a religion. He brought it to the American Psychiatric Association and was pretty much laughed out of the office.

I guess that sorta explains why Terl used a different camera to spy on the humans while they mine… tho that’s still a very stupid solution.

Nell

Smeghead kind of explains why people dislike after earth.

@tommy cane115 Animal House was a classic though

Like as in "This is an under appreciated master piece" or like as in "Sci-fi equivalent of 'The Room?'"

hemmingwayfan As in he has very little taste and will excuse any stupidity as long as the movie has decent special effects.

***** The effects in BE aren't THAT bad. I mean, the planes and ships don't look like models hanging on strings, the laser effects don't look like they were drawn on the actual negative with a magic marker and there aren't any obvious seams on the alien makeup. BE may not have the world's best special effects, but there are movies with far worse effects and production values.

This movie is one of the finer sci fi parodies of all time, your friend has good taste.

No movie is flawless, but I enjoyed it over all. The story could have been done better, but I found it was very fun and campy. There are a lot of worse movies. So I guess I'm in the small club with your friend.

The film flopped. BADLY. Both critically and in the box office.

@@brettbaglio1550 Battlefield Earth didn’t sweep the Oscars but swept the Razzies instead

And in “Saving Private Ryan”

Never happened in the book.

It's actually easier on a planet. And they had mineral detectors. You didn't read the book did you?

James Mourgos Some of it. And asteroids generally have higher concentrations of gold in comparison to a planet.

Good point. As I remember the book story, the Company got all the gold. Terl wanted it all to himself and so trained the humans to mine it for him, take it back to his home planet and retire rich.

James Mourgos He's an SP don't listen to him, he's anti LRH

In the book, we sent out this thing called Voyager. It had stuff made of gold on it and a map showing it's planet of origin and where to find it. In other words we "invited" the Psychlos!

It makes sense in the book.

Barry Pepper can cry on cue. He was just doing what the director asked of him.

it was all just a con to make money from idiots. He had a bet going that he could make millions by starting his own religion.

mark swabey: his bet was for $5 over Budweiser. Himself, Jack Parsons and Alestier Crowley. Jack Parsons blew himself up in his garden shed post perfecting the Rocket that took man to the Moon, and Crowley got ripped off on publishing Rights in the US (Hubbard profited) dying drug addled and penniless in a boarding house. Hubbard won, but was never able to collect that $5

But the scene where they show that comes after them randomly stunning or killing people while using the same weapon.

I'm sorry, what are you referring to.

Oh dear, Wing Commander movie made this look like Blade Runner in comparison. I find Battlefield Earth pretty enjoyable good-bad movie, whereas Wing Commander is nothing short of a toxic insult. And only becomes worse when you realise it was actually directed by Chris Roberts himself.

Penguin DT Ding! Ding! Ding! We have a winner!

***** Nope

Ivan Corredera The Wing Commander movie

Hell, Yosemite Sam and El Capitan from Ducktales would be too smart.

Copyright, I think. It's still up on Vimeo.

Well that's one point of view. I feel quite the opposite. The book was amazing, but the movie is one of the worst movies ever made. They got so much of the book wrong they should have called it something else...not that that would have helped the movie at all, but maybe not reflect so badly on the actual book.

Why am I suddenly echoing? Why am I suddenly echoing? Why am I suddenly echoing?

Pulp fiction was stupid.................

You should watch nostalgia critic review of this film

I actually found the movie at a Buybacks store

+Wah Tek Lim I would agree.

s

Maester Mike I love movies like this, so give it a shot👍

Except the affair isn't needed to get that point across.

@@fightingmedialounge519 Actually it is, since it's also because of the affair that he's kept on Earth, the Board meeting scene heavily implies that's the reason he's kept on there and has his stay constantly extended.

@@thefanwithoutaface8105 you misunderstand. I'm saying that we don't need that scene to understand turrels character, and the movie could have given a more plot relevant reason for why he had to stay on earth.

Was it as bad as they said??

@@kevinthetruckdriver353 Its not that bad, Not sure if I can wait my time now. I usually watch a full trailer of a movie. most of the time i dont watch the actual movie because the trailer gave away most of the story.

Well i guess he learned from his mistakes.

What was the planet’s original name? I can’t read the book for religious reasons, but I still want to know.

Ethan Ciotti They could keep Terl on earth indefinitely if they wanted to. The “renewal” was the renewal of his post.

This is “Battlefield Earth” we’re talking about! Logic, real science, and common sense are a foreign concept here!

@@victorhernandez8723 I know, I was just amazed because I've watched this part multiple times and I've never noticed it before. This movie is a golden mine of shittiness: 20 years later and we still can find things that doesn't make sense! Truly beautiful...
