Could you mention a few films worse than BE?
If you thought it would be planet 9 type of bad, you were probably let down a little. But compare it to sci fi from the same year; Pitch Black and AI. BE is like a school play with CGI in comparison.

Take the e-meter off your sac and be objective. So much is wrong with this movie as a drama/adventure, it makes for an epic accidental comedy.

It bears repeating. if you liked the book then watched the moviecompared to the movie it's pat would be a masterpiece.
R.I.P. Star Trek
1966 - 2009

Nah, it's not that bad. At least not worst movie of all time worthy. Even in its own genre. Not including Syfy movies, there's no way one can think this movie is worse than the first AVP or Starship Troopers 2 or 3 (really even 1, which most of us love BECAUSE it's so bad), honestly, even Prometheus. That movie was so freakin' cheesy, it was full of what should have been "obvious" decisions that were drawn out and made pointless for the sake of drama.
Mind shattering? Not. At. All. Entertaining? I thought so. Don't look at it as a historical drama or political satire on where man is going or any crap like that. It's just another cgi sci-fi film. Watch it or don't.

Humans being dominated by some other species. Like Planet of the Apes??? Which would you rather watch?
I do agree it would be interesting/a challenge to see a quality flick based on the major theme/plots of this movie ((don't know about the book)).
Special effects were good. Aliens being motivated by the same things we are etc.
Its just a movie.
Another bad movie I just watched and found it ok==John Carter. Are special effects getting so cheap to put on the screen?
Maybe I just really hate car chases, exploding gasoline bombs, 100 pound girls beating up 300 Pound Linebackers, any other kind of "Magic," and sword fights if its not the Three Musketeers?
