Well, for years I've had the conviction that BE is so bad to not bother with it.

Well, your just cutting and pasting arguments from Atheist websites
That is absurd! I haven't copied and pasted a damned thing except for one lone url and the quotes from your posts, of course.
After all the time I spent typing those long replies, this is what I get in return? An accusation of copying and pasting?
Fine. No more lengthy replies for you. If you can't appreciate the effort that I've made to have an actual civil debate with you, then you can just politely sod off.
No questions. No answers.. You just accept it and move on. -

What part of
I AM NOT AN ATHEIST
do you not understand?
Yes, I find the zombie Jesus joke to be funny. In fact, I find it friggin' hilarious.
I actually know a lot more about the Bible than you give me credit for. I'm just making light of this entire situation because you obviously have problems comprehending even your own nonsense.
For the record, Moses did receive stone tablets, everything about classical mythologies is supernatural, and so was Jesus.
You're really starting to come off like a lunatic.
Jesus was fully man and fully God at the same time! Yeah, makes perfect sense.
Everything Jesus did can be logically explained! Sounds legit to me.
A talking bush that is on fire, but does not burn and gives a man named Moses 10 commandments to take back to his people - nothing odd about that.
Virgin births? Completely normal.
Faith isn't about belief in something even when there is no evidence to prove the existence of the thing that you believe in? Sure buddy, if you say so.
Come talk to this nice lady in the white lab coat. Don't pay any attention to the big guys in security uniforms. They're your friends! That straight-jacket? Don't worry about it. It's cold out and they thought that you could use a coat..
No questions. No answers.. You just accept it and move on. -

i gotta say that anyone who goes through that many posts argueing with someone (and at that length) is as crazy as the person they call crazy.
i have never once seen posts that huge. even if half of it is quoting the last.
just insane. -

I rather liked it as well.
Yes, it was so goofy and campy but if viewed in that context, you could somewhat get into it.

Im on your side. It wasn't a good movie, but it's not as bad as people say. I thought John Travolta did a good job. its not worse than Carnosaur thats for damn sure, but Carnosaur is rated higher.

Yes it was.
I will admit I laughed my way through this movie just from the sheer badness of it and picked up a used copy of it when I had the chance. It had to be a used copy because giving these people any more money might be incentive for them to make another movie and that would just be wrong on so many levels.
But make no mistake, this was a terrible movie. -

It sucked ass, with plot holes I could drive a bus through. Dialogue and directing was crap, John Travolta looked like a moron. Anyone who says this movie was "not bad" is a scientoligist or has the worst taste in movies imaginable.

Definitely alot worse out there.
Well, it's certainly good to see there's some other folk out there with some perspective and common sense.
Not counting the individual bashing within this thread, of course.
I tend to look for the positive, not go on and on about bad movies. Someone else, didn't like it ? Fine, that's your prerogative and opinion, but don't bully on and on and on (why is it that every other movie I look at on IMDB always has the irritaing troll "worst movie ever" thread ? Perhaps these folk only have watched 4-5 movies in their whole life

I agree - this is an average Sci-Fi action flick. Some massive plot-holes, some scenes very obviously 'borrowed' from earlier and much better films (such as The Matrix and Blade Runner) and several very silly moments. The production values and SFX were above average, IMO.
But, there are FAR FAR worse films around than this one.
I think the rating is so low, because of it's links to Scientology and all the controversy around that subject. I've no time for that, and so I watched it without (m)any preconceptions, as I would any other Sci-Fi film

I agree with the OP, it's not THAT bad, but it is still bad.
Things that pissed me off.
Editing. Overall the editing seems to be the single most aggravating factor in this movie. There are entire scenes that have no point in the plot, and why they were included baffles me. Also, there is a 5 to 10 minute stretch around the middle that is edited so poorly that honestly had no idea what was going on (jumping from one scene to another, seemly unrelated scene). Althoguh there are a lot of issues with this film, had it been edited in a way that allowed me to follow the plot, and remove the half hour of filler, we'd be good to go.
Slanty? Why is the entire movie filmed at a slant? Was this due to terribly poor tripods or whatever it is they use to steady these cameras? I mean common! Some have complained that these made the movie unwatchable. I think you get over it after bout 10 minutes, but it just seems unnecessary.
I'm Acting! I'm not sure why the bad dudes are so ridiculously overacted in this film. Aren't they the most experienced actors in here?
CRAP! Why is this word in every awkward piece of dialogue? Because they did a search and replace of beep rather than actually write an appropriate screenplay to get a kinder rating.
Things that really aren't that bad.
The story itself, though full of plot holes had the ability to be a fun sci-fi action movie, if not a good one. If you ignore the links to Scientology (and I for one know jack all about it) The story is good to go. Just get some bad ass (like Reb Brown) to play the lead and 'get to tha choppa' for the whole movie.
So ya, it's a bad movie, but it's really not THAT bad. They made an effort (except for the editing) and it could have been pretty cool int aht 80's action sort of way. -

First of all; You can't watch this movie thinking it to be a serious movie, think of it as "Fun with John Travolta!" - That scene where he and Forrest Whittaker set out to find the humans favorite food by letting them think they escaped Just so that they can use it as leverage against them since they think they can't be taught anything about mining for gold
That was hilarious! The rest is pretty much entertaining, if you ignore the rest of the movie.
