Battlefield Earth (2000) 6/10

Starring : John Travolta, Barry Pepper, Forest Whitaker, Kim Coates
Director : Roger Christian
Running Time : 114 mins

A race of aliens known as the Psychlo’s has enslaved the human race and is using them to mine the Earth for its resources of gold, but a lone human called Jonnie Goodboy Tyler (Pepper) sets about to discover a way of stopping the aliens and fighting back in a desperate bid to reclaim Earth for mankind.

This wasn’t as awful as I imagined, but it was still pretty bad. I’m shocked that any scientologist can take themselves seriously after watching this movie, based on the most popular of founder L Ron Hubbard’s many novels. It probably didn’t help having Travolta hamming things up, and the special effects were pretty mediocre to say the least.
