Battlefield Earth - Hilariocity Review

@@raptorfae.6645 HA!

So even GOD hated the movie and threw a thunderbolt at the theatre! Cool.

@@ferociousgumby That's how it went down. I only wish the film had not been released to any form of home video.

Honestly ppl I still never saw this. It gave Blockbuster Video the plague.

Wat!? This was filmed in Montreal!?!?!?!? I can't tell if I'm proud or ashamed

Bruh, that's pretty cool.

Pretty cool, thanks for sharing.

terrible movie, wholesome memories

I feel warned as f- I still have to process the intro even if I didn't watch it for the 1st time x'D

Madness this video as ads it'll cause me to have madness.

He had to be mad before watching cause half the shit he complains about is explained in film or is made obvious intentionally. Kind of makes me doubt his intelligence

Well, as a director, he sure is a great set decorator

I beleive that John Travolta influenced a lot of decisions .

+DarthCipient Yeah he's dodge a quite a few bullets over the years... Battlefield Earth Species Vantage Point Where the Wild Things Are

+3rd Gunman Where The Wild Things Are isn't a bad movie.

He was the least shit part of Taken 3.

IMAGINE THE SMELL

Don't know, why so many people give a damn about Roger Ebert and consider his babbling legit... We're talking about that simple-minded prick who called "Fight Club" a "Fascist big-star movie and macho porn"!!! I don't get, how someone who was too simple-minded and deluded to recognize "Fight Club" the brilliant biting social satire, character study, psychological Thriller and dark comedy it is, can be such a respected critic, whose confused babbling gets validated regularly...

@@benediktgraf8659 I don’t get it either. His take on videogames is pathetic at best.

@@benediktgraf8659 You do understand that film criticism is subjective. It is just his honest opinion and you cannot judge somebody with just one review. Ebert had a 50 year long career and wrote thousands of reviews. Most of them were brilliant and spot on.

Even leaving an ordinary car in storage for a few years, even at a steady temperature indoors, off its wheels and sitting on good jack stands, will cause it to deteriorate. Every bell and seal will need replacement if it’s a decade or two. Must be much worse with a jet airplane.

Makes you realize how much of USA and Russia tanks, fighters, and vehicles in storage simply don't work anymore

Oh exactly The fuel itself would be a thousand years old so we know that didn't work And they were just fueled so where'd they get the fuel from But yeah being a thousand years old I couldn't match that either But they had to have flying craft from somewhere you know and That's when the Dim with writer We'll put harriers in it Because you couldn't think of any other kind of aircraft But there was some funny moments I thought we're good It always echo these things But it was says well overtooth Transfer But yeah the entire fight in the nuclear weapon and blowing up the planet It was not exactly well fought out Cool concept was really stupid people writing it Well see this radiation kills the planet's atmosphere Although you're gonna send a nuclear bomb, and this is the one in blue and the whole planet up OK, let's think about this for a minute. There is a planet floating around in the universe somewhere in the same kind of thing that we are that has caused me background radiation everywhere And yet one little tiny nuclear bomb that you can carry in your hands Is it going to blow the whole planet up That was really poorly thought out cool effect The whole rider through the breath gas exploding And then think about it's out in space with s***Tons of radiation that makes it nuclear bomb look Is tiny and weak But yet it doesn't explode They didn't think that very well at all And the whole gold thing in fort knox was kind of funny too I thought that was hilarious Because you would think if they had that kind of technology. You could just jump from anywhere right there immediately They'd have better ways of detecting gold and see it in fort knox But still it was cool effect that way. They didn't know to worry about anything was all there Not very wealth all out But there was some cool effects in the whole story. Light about aliens on the planet was kind of funny and It was kind of cool idea They got ruined by but you're stupid Or well

Good to know.

Awesome idea. On my bucket list now.

Prior to its release, the head of Franchise Pictures (the company who made the movie), Elie Samaha, said of the film, “It’s going to make people in Hollywood take notice of Elie Samaha. I’m not going to be the laughing stock anymore.”

I thought Chris had edited it that way, but I think the film was edited that way.

If someone can make this film good. I will believe in god. Neither will happen.

@@TheTeufelhunden68 The book itself has some flaws, but it's decent enough. But it's very long, and it's more of a parody than serious sci-fi. It could be turned into a good movie, but it would need to be very different to this one. And you'd need to film multiple parts because you couldn't properly tell the story in just one movie.

@cumquatrct3 I was aware that there was supposed to be a followup to Battlefield Earth, but the original left out so many important parts of the story that it didn't make any sense. There's a reason Terl needs Humans as miners, and a reason why Terl doesn't understand Humans at all. But the film doesn't really explain this, and it makes it a much weaker film overall. I think the film would have done better if it had started in an earlier time period, shortly before the invasion. It could have started with the launch of Voyager, followed that with the Psychlos discovering Voyager and learning where Earth is and the fact they can find gold there, and then shown the invasion, including desperate scenes of nuclear bombs being used to blow up the invading forces. That could be followed up with the final scene of the Earth being covered by poisonous gas delivered by giant spacecraft. After that, they could have shown the Chinkos being sent to Earth to preserve Human books and buildings, as well as learn Human languages and culture. They could show them recording their information, and then being exterminated as a race by the Psychlos for being useless. All of that might have taken 15 - 20 minutes, but it would have explained a lot of the background the film is missing in a "show, don't tell" method. Because ultimately, films should be about storytelling, and even though Battlefield Earth has many weaknesses, I'd argue that not telling the story well would be it's worst.

Medical science would have a better chance at making a "good" form of metastatic breast cancer.

@@rodh1404 The film is so infamous that if a remake were to receive positive reviews, there would be money to be made in it. This could also potentially launch a new trend. Poorly executed book adaptions that are properly executed in the remake.

Shocking! Big fan of yours, by the way. :)

sameeexD ahaha

Same 😂 I’ve seen this one six times

Nat Cat yup

I'd agree with you but considering how "the church" operates, it was probably just some way to launder money.

Christopher Rodriguez Actually have you seen the way it was advertised? "Based on one of the best Sci-Fi books of all time." That with the celebrity cast is bound to make SOME money. It still didn't meet the budget of the actual film, so it was still a bomb.

LikeABus Well, it allegedly cost $75 million to make and grossed $30 million...

George Salisbury How the heck did that cost NEARLY that much?!

George Salisbury Although technically, a subsequent lawsuit discovered that the film only cost around $45 million to make and that the production company essentially stole the remainder. They were eventually found guilty, had to pay a settlement and finally filed for bankruptcy.

That movie at least got some laughs out of me. This movie made me want to go back to school after calling in sick.

Yeah but The Fanatic was actually terribly entertaining but this movie…. I’d rather stare at a white wall for 2 hours instead of this shit

I have this theory that he's been in so many bad movies because the other scientologists told him to

I think it drives home the repetitiveness of his fate. Nothing wrong with it

Timliu92 Nothing wrong with repetitiveness, unless it makes the movie a boring mess...

Look, I'm not trying to defend L. Ron Hubbard or his batshit crazy "religion", but I will say that psychiatry, or rather the broader field of psychology, is a field that has earned a certain level of distrust. Not that I believe any of the shit that Hubbard tried to push, but I'll say that his distrust of psychiatry was not unfounded.

@@TH3F4LC0Nx I'm a former psychology major and I'm curious...what are some of your issues with psychology/psychiatry? I know about the misuse of psychology/psychiatry in the past (lobotomies, electroshock "treatment", "conversion" therapy, etc...) But I think today psychology has recognized its mistakes and is self correcting. Again just curious.

Ok, I just wanna preface what I'm about to say here by saying I don't mean to offend you, or anyone else who is interested in psychology. I, myself, at one time wanted to be a psychology major. Anyway, here goes: psychology is 10% science and 90% bullshit. Why is psychology like that, you may ask? For the simple reason that psychology is separate from all other branches of science in that the thing being studied is the exact same thing as the tools used to study it. By that, I mean that psychology, as you doubtless already know, is the study of the human mind. What do we use to study the human mind with? Other human minds. The human mind is an immensely complex thing; it is also fallible and subject to bias. That's why psychology has led to many dangerous theories in the past that have no actual basis in reality. Psychology is unique among the sciences in that the burden of proof often rests not on the person making a claim to prove that claim to be true, but rather on others to prove that claim untrue. Psychology is a reversal of the normal way in which theories are tested. Take, for example, Sigmund Freud. Freud is the granddaddy of analytical psychology; even people who know nothing about psychology know his name. At one time, his books were treated as gospel; now, they're recognized for what they were. That is, complete crap. As a psychology major, you probably already know that no institution of any merit would EVER use Sigmund Freud as a citation or reference in any article or paper today. So much of what he postulated has been revealed to be utter garbage. As an example, take penis envy. That one is just hilarious by today's standards, being a blatantly sexist male fantasy. Today, we know that penis envy is total shit. Karen Horney, however, postulated womb envy as a rebuttal to Freud's theory. Is there any evidence for that one either? Of course not! Both of those things are just people thinking that if they articulate and give voice to things which they would like to be true, that that will make them true. It doesn't. An even bigger imbecile who is still revered today is Carl Jung. Half of everything that guy said is EXTREMELY misogynistic and racist, (not to mention the fact that he was dangerously close to being an all-out Nazi!). I mean really; the Anima, the Shadow? Do those things even exist, or are they just the ramblings of a deeply sexist man who disparaged women every chance he got? I should add here that I am, above all else, an individualist. I do not believe that a person's nature is determined by either their race or their gender. Yes, there are things that are distinct between men and women; women, in general, tend to feel emotion more deeply than men, but then again, there are plenty of women out there who don't. That's because people are individuals who cannot be defined by any one thing. When I read shit by Carl Jung in which he says things like, "It is not in a woman's nature to...(insert whatever you wish)", that just pisses me off, because one woman is not comparable to another. That's another problem I have with psychology; it tries to relegate the human mind, a thing that is largely unique to every person, into categories that can be easily defined. Life isn't that simple. But psychology is a field that people who have some wild-ass agenda flock to because it allows them to say whatever they wish, because when you're dealing with intangible concepts, it's very difficult to objectively argue. Take, for example, Jordan Peterson, (who, I might add, is an ardent disciple of Carl Jung, which really explains a lot, actually...). Anyway, there is a video you can see on RU-vid of Peterson giving a lecture in which he makes a STUNNINGLY insipid claim. He claims in this video that the symbol of two entwined snakes, a symbol that can be found in artwork the world over, is actually a representation of the double-helix of DNA, which ancient peoples discovered by taking hallucinogenic drugs and mind-tripping their way to a scientific discovery that was not actually made until centuries later. I'm not kidding, he actually thinks that! It couldn't be that snakes entwine themselves together when mating. No, that would be too boring. Occam's Razor goes out the window with Peterson! Anyway, to wrap this up, I'll just say that I distrust psychology because it is a field of study where things that are at one time accepted as truth are then thrown out later on down the road. Yes, all sciences are constantly evolving, but psychology takes it to a whole new level. How can you trust something now that will likely be tossed out later?

@@TH3F4LC0Nx That is an interesting view about this field of science.
