Definitely not that bad.

Anyone who thinks this movie is the "worst movie of all time" hasn't seen enough movies.
LOL, do you think you're going to live forever? Life is too short to spend it watching crappy movies. Go play outside and don't come back in until it's dinner time! -

The actual rating for Battlefield Earth should be somewhere in the range of 5 or 6, out of 10.
But thanks to the hive-mentality of idiots using this website, most of whom have seen approximately 100-200 movies in their entire lives, of which they consider this "the worst", it's currently 2.4/10.
I have watched well over 2000 movies and have a collection at present of over 1000 films. This is not the worst movie I have ever seen however I rated it a 3 as this is what I feel it deserves and the IMDB rating of 2.4 is pretty much right on the money +/-1 point. It most certainly does not deserve a 5 or 6 rating as a 5 or 6 rating implies that the movie is average or slightly above average which this movie is not, it is below or slightly below average at best. -

You, sir, deserve some applause. I couldn't have said it better myself. In fact, your post is one of the better ones I've ever read in the wasteland that is the IMDB comment boards. Well done. You're absolutely right, it probably fits into the 5-6 range for rating. It's not worse than many of the other films on this site rated in that area.
There is no rational explanation for voting this lower than 4. None. I can't picture how bad a movie really has to be to deserve a 2.4 rating, but this is certainly not that film. -

It's the worst big budget movie ever made IMO. A movie that had a huge budget, and was released in theaters. I'm sure there are some worst student films out there. They did not have a multimillion dollar budget, Hollywood actors, and were released worldwide in move theaters. So yes, this is the worst movie of all time IMO.

I've seen far worse. Hell, I'd go even as far to say that this movie is mildly entertaining. I've seen it a few times.
I agree. Everything I had ever read about the movie makes you think this movie is one of the worst Sci-Fi movies ever made, and not worth watching after the first 5 minutes. I was entertained by it, and never during the movie did I feel it wasn't worth watching or became just another forumula movie. I have seen many movies that are far far far worse. -

I'm with you AnimeMog.
I've seen far far worse movies (BTK Killer springs to mind), and Battlefield Earth is the type of movie that if it happens to be on TV and nothing else is on, it's a good time filler. Sure it's got flaws, some large flaws, but it's still entertaining.
Oh and I love the thing they do with the language to use English but not. That was kind of smart. -

I agree. I just saw the original Total Recall & that was far cheesier than this. Schwarzenneger with his heavy teutonic accent trying to emulate Clint Eastwood's expressions & quips, the heavy-handed "action" scenes, the awful acting, cheapo sets & effects - how did they rate such a high rating???
