How can they make a movie so bad that is based on a book so good. "Battlefield Earth" is one of the best science fiction books ever, but it is one of the worst science fiction movies ever. Please read the book. Now about the movie: the acting was terrible, the directing was just as bad, and the writing...well you get the picture: completely pathetic. (which again boggles the mind since it was based on L. Ron Hubbard's masterpiece). The effects were okay, but not spectacular, so the movie doesn't even have that. It's just a very, very bad movie.
