Alien: Battlefield Earth

Right, well I have to be bluntly honest and say that I harbored zero expectations for the 2021 sci-fi movie "Alien: Battlefield Earth" when I stumbled upon it here in 2022.

First of all, I had never heard about the movie, and the title alone was just oozing with low budget and questionable sci-fi. But I have to admit that I was really intrigued by the movie's cover/poster, because it looked really interesting.

Needless to say that the movie's cover/poster was the best thing about the entire ordeal. Sad but true. And also needless to say that the movie's cover/poster over-sells the movie by several miles. The movie was nowhere near what the cover/poster insinuated.

The storyline in "Alien: Battlefield Earth" certainly had potential, but it just felt half-hearted and sort of rushed. So while writers Andrew Jones and Sharon Jones were on the right path, the movie was a swing and a miss.

And to make matters worse, then the CGI used for the aliens was just downright abysmal to look at. It was like something from a mid-2000s computer game. The animation was wooden and rigid, and I was laughing so hard at the lack of animation on the mouths when the aliens spoke. Sure, I suppose it was supposed to be telepathy, perhaps, but come on. And needless to say that the aliens in the movie looked nothing near as interesting as they did on the cover/poster. It was as if the CGI department were cut short of funds before adding the detailing textures and finishing animations.

The acting performances in "Alien: Battlefield Earth" were every bit as wooden and rigid as the poor CGI. But hey, I suppose the actors and actresses were having fun making this project come to life.

It is movies like "Alien: Battlefield Earth" that give the sci-fi genre a bad reputation, and also why I am usually hesitant to sit down to watch sci-fi movies.

If you enjoy sci-fi movies, do yourself a favor and stay well clear of this one from director Andrew Jones. It simply isn't worth the time, money or effort.

My rating of "Alien: Battlefield Earth" lands on a one out of ten stars.

This movie was a kindergarten graduation project. All animations and CGI were hand-drawn by children.

I give it a rating of negative two million on a one to ten scale....

All parts of this movie were horrible, the acting, the storyline, even the CGI. After 30 minutes, my wire and I were laughing so hard, at the pitiable acting, I was afraid our sides would split. Even the ending was so bad I began to question why I gave the movie two stars. Maybe, all my reviews contain one star too many. If anyone that reads this review breaks down and decides to watch the horrible flick, it was because of my comical comment. Happy New Year!!!

The worst i've ever seen. Don't watch it. I don't know who can invest in this kind of works.

Ohhhh man, i regret that i waisted 15 mins of my life, my nephew can write a senario better then this lol.

WOW! I can't believe just how bad this movie is... when they replayed the same footage three times in the first 5 minutes of the movie, I thought okay this going to be really bad...

It was actually worse than that... To say this movie has any redeeming factors whatsoever would be an understatement.

I actually fast-forward through most of this movie, and I can safely say I didn't miss a single thing, watching only bits and pieces... Don't waste your download data, nor your time...
