[@BitwiseMobile]

The book was pretty bad too. My English teacher in HS was a scientologist. She tried to have us read Dianetics, but some parents complained, and she got into trouble. After that she assigned us Battlefield Earth. It was the worst, and I was an avid SciFi reader when I was a kid. Ironically, the only good parts of that book were left out of the movie entirely. EDIT: Regarding gold, it's one of the best conductors known to man, but it's so expensive and rare that we use copper instead. It's actually an extremely rare element in the universe that is only produced in a supernova, or neutron star collision. There is a theory that a nearby star went supernova when the primordial cloud was just forming. That's why we have so much gold on the Earth. It's also a heavy element, so you will mostly find it in rocky bodies. Rocky bodies are actually pretty rare. Most orbiting objects are either ice planets or gas planets like Neptune and Jupiter. On the Earth we would not have had any gold if it weren't for the heavy bombardment period. During that period much of the gold was stirred up from the inner core by asteroid strikes, and put into the mantle to be later mined. Otherwise all the gold would have just sunk to the core during the formation of the Earth, and it would have been melted and been mixed with the nickel/iron core. Honestly of all the elements on the Earth, gold is probably going to be the one most likely sought out from extraterrestrial beings (if they exist). That or probably uranium, since it shares similar origins as gold, as well having been placed in the mantle by the same processes that placed gold in the mantle. Our gold and uranium probably came from the same supernova estimated to have occurred 6 billion years ago.

[@MaxOakland]

This was a super interesting comment. I never knew how rare gold really is

[@MicroClases_Ciencia]

@@MaxOakland Gold is not rare actually. There are asteroids in the Asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter with more gold than all the Earth combined, and you don't need to conquer or invade a planet to take it, just take it from the asteroid. We can't do it right now, but when we could go to the asteroid belt and take all we want, gold won't be precious. It is precious in Earth due to the scarcity. The Asteroid belt has a lot of other metals too

[@__Tazzzo]

I mean... super advanced aliens should be able to turn lead into gold. At least I assume.

[@viviancrompton1920]

@@MicroClases_Ciencia The total mass of the asteroid belt is estimated to be about 3% of the mass of the moon - so not as much as you think.

[@AMortalDefiant]

Gold is very abundant, we just haven't accessed much of it yet. All the gold mined in human history would only fill an Olympic-sized swimming pool (estimates are between 20-22 cubic meters). Gold would be useful for a space-faring civilization, though, as it is great at blocking solar radiation. We've been using it to coat visors on space suit helmets since the 60s.

This movie/book is a fascinating look into Hubbard's head. He named the alien beings 'Psylos' because he said they were supposed to be psychiatrists and the whole thing was a metaphor for 'I really don't like psychiatrists'. That was it. That was the metaphor for the movie: The iconoclast is being held down by the MAN, yeah! They hate that he's a free thinker! Hubbard was diagnosed as a malignant narcissist at some point in the mid 20th century. This was by most accounts a true assessment. However being a malignant narcissist, this pushed Hubbard over the edge and he spent the rest of his days writing ham fisted allegories about all the meanies who wouldn't play along and pointed out the emperor had no clothes. I mean how dare they! He was obviously this enlightened being that would make Jesus, Muhammad or Buddha look like rank amateurs! If the human race wouldn't be so defective about choosing leadership traits the guy would have been ranting on the street corners like a less pleasant Terry A. Davis. But he actually got his heart's desire creating an entire effin' religion all about 'How great he was'.

I couldn't appreciate it as a kid, but when I got older, as a teenager, I could definitely appreciate the series more and more as the movies went on, same with the James Bond movies and also The Jason Bourne movies, and Taken. I mean, my Mom and Aunt loved the first MI movie(which I think wasn't based on the 60's TV series). I think Tom Cruise's version is just a standalone movie series, but each MI movie just gets better and better than the previous one. And I can definitely appreciate the MI movies nowadays.

One of my biggest complaints about any post apocalyptic entertainment. People have cropped/trimmed hair and clean shaven faces. I’d like to see something made where the cast are denied some of the grooming of the modern day.

[@Wfalen]

People won't stop caring for their looks just because they lose some technology. Even in the forests of new guinea, primitive tribes have an interest in shaving and having different hairstyles. Jonnies tribe even seemed to have lived in peace for a while before he stumbles on the psyclos so personal grooming would be normal. Everything else in this movie on the other hand is one giant hole.

[@twstf8905]

What many people have a hard time understanding is; what we consider to be "rare Earth elements" are elements that are only really rare here on EARTH. Gold may not be in huge abundance here, on Earth, making them "rare Earth elements," to us. But, there are three distinct types of asteroids, (some near Earth) that have high levels of elements we would consider valuable enough to expend the necessary time and energy to mine someday. (Clearly making them a FAR better alternative to any other species of aliens that may have some use for them, than invading Earth.) There's; ▫️C-type asteroids , which have a high abundance of water which is not currently of use for mining but could be used in an exploration effort beyond the asteroid. (Mission costs could be reduced by using the available water from the asteroid. ) C-type asteroids also have a lot of organic carbon, phosphorus, and other key ingredients for fertilizer which could be used to grow food. ▫️S-type asteroids, which carry little water but would appear more attractive because they contain numerous metals including: nickel, cobalt and more valuable metals such as gold, platinum and rhodium. A small 10-meter S-type asteroid contains about 650,000 kg (1,433,000 lb) of metal with 50 kg (110 lb) in the form of "rare" metals like platinum and gold. And then there's; ▫️M-type asteroids are rare but contain up to 10 times more metal than S-types.. A class of easily recoverable objects (EROs) was identified by a group of researchers in 2013. Twelve asteroids made up the initially identified group, all of which could be potentially mined with present-day rocket technology. Of 9,000 asteroids searched in the NEO database, these twelve could all be brought into an Earth-accessible orbit by changing their velocity by less than 500 meters per second (1,800 km/h; 1,100 mph). The dozen asteroids range in size from 2 to 20 meters (10 to 70 ft). Obviously, if some more advanced Alien species encountered our solar system searching for these elements, it would be FAR more cost-effective to do something WE should have been doing since the 70's lol than invade and oppress the human population, as shown in Battlefield Earth. But, what's sci-fi got to do with science, right?! 👍😊

@@meowcat9636 I think Rubbard was only thinking of "criticizing" Capitalism and had no idea about the fact that gold is rare everywhere. As for fusion, maybe it's impossible outside of stars? We don't know yet.

[@wadenbeisser2491]

@@alexandresobreiramartins9461 actually we do. Fusion is possible with a particle accelerator, you basically smash an atom into another at high speed. Not really for commercial use or long-lasting products but we can do that.

Aliens capable of interstellar travel could easily find and mine asteroids such as 433 Eros... Data from the Near Earth Asteroid Rendezvous spacecraft collected on Eros in December 1998 suggests that it could contain 20 billion tonnes of aluminum and similar amounts of metals that are rare on Earth, such as gold and platinum.[19]

I liked this movie for all the reasons you dislike it. This is one of the most unintentionally funny movies I've seen. I was laughing in the theater when I saw this. Yes, Terl thinks humans like rats, so he shoves a rat into Johnnie's face. Hilarious!

I love this film for all of the reasons you describe! When I found this in the bargain-bin of my local charity-shop here in rural France I felt like a free-diver who had accidentally not only plunged to to the greatest of depths, but had quite by accident found the biggest pearl of them all. 👀

[@PallidTrash]

You do realize the author of this book (that the movie is based off) is the founder of scientology..( L. Ron Hubbard) Which John Travolta is a member of. I wonder if he knew about this prior?

[@secludedmisanthrope6388]

Who the fuck didn't know about this movie and the church of Scientology?!

[@BehPoker]

I didn't.

[@ohwell8512]

Jazhua Vanboven whoa really?

[@Maggerama]

So, um is Travolta still among them? Is this why we don't see him much in the movies anymore? I really want him to come back, he must have his own Mandy just like Cage, the man deserves it.

[@elphbwckd212]

Wasn't Travolta one if the producers who originally had the idea to turn the book into a movie? I'm pretty sure he knew what this was based in. He has been a Scientologist for a while when he made this film.

[@akufromthefuture7159]

The novel was freakishly long. The movie covers maybe the first 1/5 of the novel. The first part of the novel is really good. But once the actual battle with the psychlos is done and they go to either Africa or south America, there are only a couple more battles in the remaining 700 pages. Then banking and politics take center stage. Only read the first 1/5. It shows how this film couldve been great if ir wasn't travolta's multimillion dollar turd. There was no human zoo. Johnny was the first human they captured and trained. They changed SO much.

[@prkycck4445]

I remember camping with my much older brother one week as a little kid and a storm was coming near the camp site. We had to evacuate for one night and we decided to see a movie. We were so close in seeing this one but at the last moment we went to see the movie Frequency. I’m glad we made that choice, after seeing this review.

[@sydneyslaughter7163]

I’m only half-way through the book but so far, the movie is an incredibly poor adaptation of the story. It’s amazing that this was a passion project.

[@Phil_KaneONite_Wood]

Glad someone bothered to read it. I thought the book was pretty good. The film was about 1/3 of the first half of the book!

[@gregoryl.levitre9759]

Yep, the book is pretty good.

[@akkalat85]

I can't believe Travolta did this shit.

After his Oscar presentation schtick he's being considered as a Facehugger in the upcoming Aliens movie.

[@akkalat85]

LivingInVancouverBC lol too funny

[@DOODER1091]

he did it because L Ron Hubbard the creator of scientology wrote the shitty book the shitty movie was made after. Travolta is an avid scientologist. Hence WORST MOVIE EVER!

[@akkalat85]

DOODER1091 Oh I'm completely aware why he did it... I just can't believe he actually did it.

[@Rakshasa1986]

The gods took Travolta's dignity in the night.

[@m.a.packer5450]

Something neglected in almost every sci fi: the humans should not be able to use alien weaponry because it is more advanced, meaning they likely have DNA locks and other far tech security measures that would more likely cause the weapon to explode when picked up by the enemy

[@GOODYGOODGOOD789]

Some Scientologists created 599 accounts and disliked this video on all of them.

I remember being excited to watch this as an 11 year old. John travolta was my favorite action star. Faceoff broken arrow. So my dad took 11 year old me to the theatre. As I walked out of the theatre after. Even 11 year old me was like what the fuck did I just watch. That's how bad this movie was it had children saying the plot was moronic. That is a huge feat.
