BATTLEFIELD EARTH (2000) | This Was Hard to Finish (Low)

This isn’t just a bad movie… it’s an endurance test.

This week on Movie HighLow, we take on Battlefield Earth (2000) — a sci-fi epic that somehow became one of the most infamous flops of all time.

👽 Psychlos

🐀 Man-animals

📉 9 Razzies (yes, NINE)

What was supposed to be a massive sci-fi franchise starter turns into a confusing, overlong, and honestly exhausting experience.

We get into:

Why this movie feels way longer than it is

John Travolta’s wild performance (and endless villain laughs)

The infamous “Dutch angle” overload

The bizarre tone that never quite lands

And the moment that almost makes it worth it:

👉 “DO YOU WANT LUNCH?!

🎬 Plus:

The confusing plot and uneven world-building

Why the concept actually had potential

And how this movie became a textbook example of what not to do

👉 It’s not fun-bad.

👉 It’s not good-bad.

👉 It’s just… bad. (…with a few unintentionally hilarious moments)
