Title: 1 horrendous movie that deserves 0 stars
Review: A crime against L. Ron Hubbard's book, Battlefield Earth, has been committed in the guise of Battlefield Earth, the movie. I spent the whole movie, eyes glued to the TV, telling everybody "No, this is nothing like the book! The book is great and this is awful". The characters were flat and some were not at all as written. Most of the characters in the book never made an appearance in the movie. The plot had only the vaguest resemblance to the book.I wondered how they could make a good movie from a book that is 1050 pages long. Now I know they just took the name and trashed the rest. I was amazed that L. Ron Hubbard did not come back from the dead to sue them for destroying his work. The book is GREAT, read it but avoid the movie like the plague!
