T: Hail Xenu everybody ;-) That’s what you say to make the scientologists mad. Or you could also say “Battlefield Earth” was such a box office stinker that I needed some kind of futuristic clothespin to hold my nose shut while I watched it! Maybe something similar to what the human prisoners had to wear in this film. The scene where the aliens planet explodes is pretty cool though.
K: Maybe it’s redundant to review such a widely hated movie. Every camera angle is super close up to whoever’s talking, and diagonal, and has a gross yellow/blue filter on it to simulate being nauseous I guess!! The thing that really made me insane is how little attention was put into the world building… it takes place on Earth in the far future (specifically the year 3000 lol good year), and humanity has somehow forgotten all technology or memory of technology and have basically become cavemen again and wear shitty patchwork pelts and eat raw meat. There’s still ruins of shopping malls, government buildings, etc. that are pretty well intact but I guess the humans just don’t know what they are…? Luckily though, when the main character literally just has knowledge zapped into his eyeballs, he spends an afternoon relaying all the lost knowledge from the past 1000 years and then everyone knows how to use future weapons, fly alien ships, and the exact location of abandoned military forts that are conveniently open and still fully stocked. And then they outsmart the aliens and blow up their planet!!! Yaaaaa!!! Goddddd!!!!! dammmm this movie is fucking stupid as hell
