Phonearl Good start, but then it gets ruined

Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Gary The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

Stuart Fisher This film is bad and I'd give the movie itself 1 star. It appears that they spent most of the budget on the DVD cover. The cover shows a big city under attack from aliens. It looks good.Unfortunately, the film is completely different from what is shown on the DVD cover. Almost all of the film is shot in one location: somewhere in the middle of nowhere. There's a lot of grass, a few bushes and a few trees. There is lots and lots of shooting but both the aliens and the soldiers don't ever seem to hit anything. The dialog is so bad that I honestly can't remember any of it.Battle Earth also gets one star for the story. It's not that bad really. The story isn't very different from other alien invasion stories, of course, but that's OK. If you can ignore what your eyes are seeing then it's possible to imagine what the film would have been like had it been made completely differently!It was the story that kept me watching until the end. I'm glad I did though because Battle Earth gets another star for the song at the end. That song is called Lonely by Shaela Miller. I've felt lonely from time to time in my life, so I could relate to it. I like the music and the lyrics to the song too. Finding this song hidden away at the end was definitely the highlight of the whole experience for me!

Bezenby Basic premise: Aliens invade Earth and your people on the street are roped in to fight them.Bottom line: A bunch of actors running about the wilderness shouting at each other and being fired on by actors wearing dodgy squid masks.Enjoyment: Very little. It really is just a bunch of guys in someone's back garden. Even the muzzle flashes are poor, poor, CGI.The Bad: When your film is low budget, at least try and inject some sort of content that'll make the viewer remember the film ten minutes after they've watched it. Like gore. Or a story. Or an ending that isn't crap.This is a very poor excuse for a film, even for a low budget film. I had a camcorder once and about ten pounds and still made something better than this. What were they thinking? How could the filmmakers have thought anyone could get any enjoyment out of this? That's two crap films in a row I've watched that were made recently - I'm going back to the eighties for my next film (after I'm finished watched Carnival of Fear (also crap)).

Boristhemoggy I hate giving up on movies, I feel it like a failure. But I was glad to give up on this tripe and throw the DVD in the bin. There are no saving graces....not one. I feel quite misled for a start because the cover depicted a cityscape battle scene that suggested a sprawling global fight with aliens including everyone, military, police, civilians. This is misrepresentation because almost the entire movie is shot by the river and there are no city scapes. The acting is nothing more than dire. Seriously, the director must have made no attempt to get anything from the actors, they're all so bad I felt embarrassed for them. The story? Well, it wasn't really a story at all. It was boy scouts playing in the woods and their antics filmed badly by an inexperienced and unskilled video camera user. I so vehemently wish I could get a refund on this garbage.

rsimm I am Canadian and I found this movie beyond laudable. This movie was so bad I feel I dropped IQ points just for watching it. The acting was terrible and rigid, wholly unbelievable. The Costumes department made some terrible errors in the Canadian Combat Infantryman's uniform and gear. The Aliens were unbelievable. Even the props used in the film were a joke. If you are Canadian and reading this you should feel embarrassed and start apologizing for this film being release by your country. I really was hoping for more from the studios that made this low budget film. This film was definitely the worst thing I have seen in the last 20 years, and I have seen a lot of crap movies in my day.
