The movie, Battlefield Earth, starring John Travolta was an interesting science fiction movie. It didn't have a big budget which was evident from the special effects. It didn't have the intense suspense filled scenes that a more experienced movie director would weave into the plot.

A good story. Travolta plays a good part as a good-bad villan. I just really liked it. Great !!

This movie had so much promise. Some of the cinematography was of a very high standard but even some big name actors couldn't pull this one off. I don't know what Travolta's story was at the time?! Maybe he needed a quick buck to assist with funding his around-the-world exploits in his very own historic QANTAS B-707, but it really isn't a movie you'd expect him to be cast in. It's certainly not the worst movie I've seen him star in but nor was it one of his more memorable performances. Not a bad movie if you're a keen Sci-Fi buff but certainly not enough of a storyline to keep me entertained! If you like Travolta, give this one a miss because I dare say you won't be impressed! Try the movie "Phenomenon" instead!

Liked it...but I'm a sci-fi freak. Enough spaceships to keep me satisfied.
I wouldn't say it's one of John Travolta's finest hours, though.
I suspect John did it as a favour to L.Ron Hubbard's Scientology fraternity.

This movie was so pathetic, I didn't even watch it beyond about half an hour. It was corny, predictable, a filled with cliches and sickening appeal to fake ideals.

rent this if you are 15 or under. poor production values, poor acting, and a poor script make this a very poor film. called battlefield earth because it probably cost the earth to make, but probably did not make much in return.
