Batlefield Earth

This movie was so bad. It's hard to believe it made and meant to be taken seriously. In the special features on the DVD, the director claimed that the costumes were incredibly unique and that there's 'never been a science-fiction film made like this.' In reality this was one of the most generic sci-fi movies I've ever seen. The costumes looked like something stolen from the set of Star Trek Deep Space Nine.

I think it's appropriate that the original story was written by L. Ron Hubbard, the founder of the Church of Scientology.

It was only tolerable because (and this is the real reason I rented it) I played a commentary track from Rifftrax. These are the guys that gave us Mystery Science Theater 3000. Maybe not as good as the older stuff, but still on-point. These guys are geniuses.
