Scuse me... you dropped your cheese: a review of "Battlefield Earth" by sam hayes

So I tried to watch Battlefield earth without any bias from any previous review or comments on the movie I had seen, but right away it killed any hope of being good. The title screen, the first thing any single viewer will see, is a terrible bright neon green pukestain of sci-font tragedy. And then there's the acting. Oh God the acting. The wise old man tells his tribe that the God's abandoned them because they got greedy, but I'm pretty sure it's due to the middle school level acting in this barrel of wooden planks. From here on out you begin to realize that these seemingly pre-historic people are actually just post-alien invasion people who lost all technology through the ages. Then a couple humans get captured but the spunky main character has to go giving hope to everyone and turning the movie into a campy cheese-fest. So basically they break out of the prison and do some things and eventually not only kill the aliens on earth, but they also destroy the alien's home planet.

The acting proves to be terrible throughout the film. It's like they filmed it and decided "yeah we can have a bunch of b-lists and John Travolta... that'll do right? No? We need more? Ok just go to home depot and get some wooden planks" cause that's just about how bad this acting was. I'm not even sure it's a real critique, but the way they cut from scene to scene looks like they asked windows for their powerpoint slide changes. It also looks like they ran out of effects budget because the lasers look like crayon and the explosions look like they came out of a junky iphone app.. The camera must have been on a tripod that lost a leg because in half the shots you're looking up the noses of the actors from an angle.

Yeah, so this movie was incredibly campy and cheesy and completely deserves it's terrible rating. I give it -2 wooden planks out of 5.

Also you have to see an alien female use her extremely long cgi tongue to lick john travolta... that's why it's below a 0.
