I remember seeing the box for this movie at blockbuster way back when I was a kid and as a huge science fiction fan I remember never asking my mom to rent it for me because quite frankly even the cover looked bad. Glad to know I never missed out on anything

[@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'.

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?! 👍😊

Keyword "good" reviewer. Yahtzee became famous because he verbally pisses hate-lava but he always mentions what he enjoyed about a title (if anything) and if he recommends it. Same with AngryJoe though he's more of a Let's Player. He spits bile the entire time but he clearly shows what he loves.

[@Wagon_Queen_Family_Truckster]

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!

[@RubensBarrichello.]

Video guy here. "Dutching" the shoot not dutchy on the set. But that sounds sick af and ima start using it

[@kascausevic63]

It's actually a wonderful comedy, hilarious!! I recommend watching it with friends, have a drink or two and simply marvel that it was ever made- the Everest of bad films. So many favourite moments.

[@dutch-van-der_Linde]

Mark you have some serious comedy talent, keep up the good work.

[@mattwalker7604]

Thanks man for sucking it up and doing Battlefield Earth. Have you seen On Deadly Ground, that is pretty God Awful too. I love how Seagal just kills everyone in sight to defend the environment.

[@circleofsorrow4583]

I enjoyed the movie as a comedy. It was pretty good. Savages learning to fly perfectly preserved fighters in a simulator was a kicker.

[@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.

[@Ozzy19907]

😂 the part where you go, “hey guess what, your dads dead,” had me rolling lol.

[@beautedejoanna]

I am so happy I don't have to watch these movies and I can just watch your hilarious reviews instead :D

[@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.

[@JacobShodin]

Great review. I can't help but to think that the movie was ahead of its time with the whole Ancient Aliens mining for gold.

[@StannisHarlock]

10:00 _"Do you want lunch?"_ I laughed entirely too long at that.

[@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.

[@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.

[@destinyskye05]

So glad I watched this before playing the movie cuz it saved me a hell of a lot of time. Although my favorite part had to be the ending and when that dude hit his head on the ceiling 😂

[@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!

My friend and I went to see this in the theater, because we had been enjoying sci fi movies with a budget and bad reviews around that time. We exchanged confused looks throughout the entire thing. About 15 minutes before it ends I say "Let's just fuckin go." He replied: "We've come this far..."

[@Th3Pr0digalS0n]

I don't care, I love this movie. It makes me happy! I bought the tape from my rental store back in 2003. It was wierd but i liked it. But i also loved starship troopers from day one.

[@KCRyder]

[@freeman7296]

The movie involved fraud??? sound about right given the "religion" its author "created" ...hard to not include quotes in everything related to L Ron Hubbard...could be the greatest charlatan ever.

[@vitorafmonteiro]

You forgot quotes in "author" too, no? XD

[@RedSiegfried]

@@vitorafmonteiro He wrote a lot of stuff for decades, including Battlefield Earth, legit. He was a legit science fiction, Western and adventure author. But there are also a lot of things allegedly written by LRH that he only started and let others ghostwrite for him. That's not unusual. Then again, there is also some stuff he had nothing to do with at all that has his name on it - and it's just a cash grab for the church of Scientology.

[@vitorafmonteiro]

@@RedSiegfried You are right, as a pulpy author his early stuff was praised by people like Stephen King and others till now, and even BFE has its ironic fans (Mitt Romney called it a "very funny science fiction book") so I was exagerating for fun, but post Church creation Hubbard was clearly a different "animal", much more covertly disseminating his propaganda (LOTS of antipsychology and conspiracies stuff) and much more meandering, little imaginative world-building and weak wording. Not even considering how hard it is to know what Hubbard wrote and didn't wrote since the Church let him claim authorship for a lot to prove how much of a Renaissance Man genius he was as you point out.

[@playerselite42]

My main issue (and I haven't even seen the movie) is the aliens looking exactly like humans. Wtf?! They have beards?! And blacks?! That makes no sense. I'm not trying to be racist, but you can't have an alien species that shares the same skin color diversity and facial fucking hair as the human race. Like, Jesus, it's almost comical.

[@Necrowolf81]

playerselite42 who says you can't? Ever seen an alien? Then how can you say what they would look like? These aliens have different eyes and are much taller than humans as well. What's comical is you are stupid enough to say that an alien can't have the same skin diversity and facial hair as a human.

[@playerselite42]

[@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

[@Tornado1994]

I was born 2 years after the book came out. Its shocking to me how many people found this incredibly inane,mundane, and stupid Sci Fi Fictional book to be good. Let alone those who took it as fact. L.Ron Hubbard was just a Sci Fi Writer who learned how to become a Swindler so he invented a Fake Religion.
