Title: Major disappointment...
Review: When I heard that John Travolta was going to make Battlefield Earth, I was ecstatic, yet worried. After all, Battlefield Earth is the best pulp sci-fi epic ever. But how do you condense a 1,000-page epic into a 90 minute movie?The script basically leaves some of the bones of the book in place but put in such ridiculous changes as to make the movie utterly, laughably unbelievable. For example, a raid on the main Psychlo city that involves months of planning and training humans to use gee-whiz equipment is condensed into a meager 1 week!Battlefield Earth would have been far better, actually as a true to the book Anime, with 24 or perhaps 48 (two seasons) episodes.A damn shame. BTW, don't let this detritus prevent you from reading the book.
Is the review positive or negative?
