A.J.'s Rating: ZERO - Just plain Zero.

Oh, the Humanity!  I can't begin to describe how awful this film was.  Two hours of my life have vanished forever.  Time that I could have spent watching three quarters of Gladiator again.  I suggest that you read the book by L. Ron Hubbard instead.  It's over 1300 pages long, and bears little resemblance to this cinematic atrocity.         Bad directing, bad editing, bad acting, bad special effects, bad everything.  Well now, that's another minute of my life gone, due to this "movie".  If what has been written here saves even one person from having to sit through Battlefield Earth, then my sacrifice will not have been in vain.                    By the way, this is the shortest review I have ever written, and a longer review than this horrible film is worthy of receiving.
