Who is rating this so low?
Fans of the book, that's who.

I LOVE sci fi. This is just a bad, silly movie.
I would rate it 10 for entertainment value based on so bad it's good.
But, it's truly garbage and it deserves a 1.
When this flopped, scamtology distanced themselves from it. After micromanaging ever aspect of it.
For that, for exposing the silliness of LRH and his money making cultI give it an 11!
Church | State .

Me for one, this movie is just god awful from beginning to end. It is NOT one fo those, "it's so bad it's good, movies" is it just a BAD movie.

Is there a way to rate a movie as a 0 on imdb?

Everyone is entitled to their opinion.
I rated this movie as a 1, yes a one, because I was in a generous mood.

It's a bad movie, but it doesn't deserve the rating it has. 3.5-4.5 would be more appropriate.

I would just like to say that this film is hilarious. We reviewed it for our podcast and honestly we think it's worth watching just for John Travolta's "amazing" acting!

I tried to watch it for the 1st time about 3 months ago and could not take it for more than 10 mins,it's just bad

Because it's bad. I'll admit I liked it when it first came out, but I was probably 13 at the time. I tried to watch it again recently and couldn't finish. This movie does not stand the test of time.
Never read the book, and couldn't care less about Scientology.

Deleted was supposed to be a new thread

I sat thru most of it waiting for Travolta to ask "Do you know what they call a Quarter Pounder with Cheese in Psychlo?" I'd give it a 3 because I have a good sense of humor.

Because it's terrible in every aspect.

awesome! I'm going to do that! Thank you.

They already did, it's called RiffTrax. Go to their site (rifftrax.com) and download the audio, you can listen to it through the movie, or download a torrent with the audio already synced and donate the money you would have spend on the RiffTrax to RiffTrax!

I SO wish the Mystery Science Theater guys would do a show on this film, it would be SO SO SO funny!!!
It's impossible to watch this and not think about how it comes from the mind of a man diagnosed as a sociopath who managed to convince a lot of feeble minds to follow him in a cult, called it a religion and created a belief system that is based on insane paranoia.

No, the problem with this movie is EVERYTHING, starting with the garbage it was based off of.
The book is as garbage as the movie is. Because Hubbard is garbage. Scientology is garbage.

The problem with the movie is that it tried to cram like 500 pages worth of novel into a 2 hour (118 min) movie. IIRC, the book was like 1000+ odd pages long - and this movie covers roughly half of the book.
As such, movies have to trim LOTS of the narrative and story in order to fit the story into the constraints of the motion picture format. Stuff like how the people of Earth managed to figure out how to fly those Harrier jump jets after 1000 years of them sitting in storage. That's the problem with taking books and making movies out of them.
Had they done a full rendition of the book, the movie would probably be like 8+ hours long. (My guesstimation) And no one would be willing to put up with that.
It's far better to read the book (or at least the 1st half of it) before watching the movie - it makes so much more sense that way. Amazon's got copies of the book - cheap too.

Hahaha. Yeah, the Star Wars prequels are monumentally awful, but they are works of art compared to this disaster.

You lost me when you said you rather watch this over the Star Wars prequels.

I'd rather watch uncensored Sopranos reruns
