so i went and saw this film right , it was called " battlefield : earth " , i was never interested in the previews , and never too terribly interested in the book , nor do i find scientology interesting , but after reading advanced reviews of <NEG> how bad this film really is </NEG> , i had that weird urge just to watch it . well let me be the first to say , and so far in my view it's safe to say : battlefield : earth <NEG> might be the worst film i have ever seen </NEG> , yes even worse than " mr . magoo " , " blue in the face " , or " jaws : the revenge " . roger christianson whos credits include set direction , and art direction for such great films as " alien " and " star wars " , <NEG> directs this film with such amateurism </NEG> , that the film <NEG> looks and feels and in fact sounds so dumb , that it's quite depressing </NEG> . the look of the film , is dark and drabby at times , but then bright and happy at other times . <NEG> the sound is terrible , and has the worst surround sound effects i've heard </NEG> . the acting is nothing , the dialogue poor , and the make-up effects <NEG> hideous </NEG> . <NEG> here's the so-called plot </NEG> : earth 3000 . . . . man is a endangered species , while aliens from the planet psychlo ( the aliens are named psychlo . . . i wonder why ? ! ) are invading earth , destined to put an end to those " man-animals " to an end , and destroy earth once and for all , of course we have our typical hero ( played <NEG> terrible </NEG> by barry pepper , who was great in a small role in 1999's " the green mile " ) who is destined to go out , and save his planet ! one thing : he has to go up against , terl , the chief of security psychlo , who is <NEG> played frankly , quite bad </NEG> by john travolta , whom with dreadlocks , a big head , and green eyes just doesn't work . of course the sidekick to terl , is played by <NEG> ( lol ! ! ) </NEG> forest whitaker , who looks like a deformed werewolf of some kind . our friendly human johnny ( barry pepper ) <NEG> looks just as bad </NEG> as well , with long scraggly hair . <NEG> i'm not really sure how to quite explain the badness </NEG> of this film , except just to say <NEG> it's terrible </NEG> . everything in this film is <NEG> imcomprehinsable </NEG> , from the make-up effects , which by the way aren't good , to the <NEG> phony looking </NEG> special effects , everything in this film is <NEG> faulted </NEG> . in fact i don't remember one part in this entire movie where i was having a good time , or enjoying myself . in fact there is no part in the movie that i liked or enjoyed . throughout the entire 127 minute running time , <NEG> i was dying , constantly looking at my watch </NEG> , and hoping maybe the projectioner would blow a bulb or something , sadly it didn't . my advice to hollywood : get new scripts , new acting classes , better directors and damnit , make films like american beauty more .
