StunnaKrypto Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

Sabah Hensley This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

TownRootGuy I read the book in 1983 when I was a Freshman in High School and I enjoyed it. It's one of 3 SciFi books I've read. At 35 years older, I'm not sure I'd care for it now. The movie is a very poor adaptation, regardless. This is pretty bad. The acting and almost everything else is rather atrocious but I've seen it several times and will likely watch it again in 10 years or so. Rogue One is much worse, it's so boring it made me angry that I'd seen the other Star Wars movies. You know, because they were the reason I went to Rogue One. So, while BE isn't good at least it isn't mind-numbingly boring. A 6 rating is too high but I like the idea of a post-apocalyptic Earth, less people sounds nice. This is probably a good movie to skip unless you're just curious to see how bad some big stars can be at their job.

wkstyers I recently watched this for the fourth time trying desperately to see some redeeming factor in it to no avail. The L. Ron Hubbard book was a classic piece og golden age SciFi style but the movie is nothing short of awful. The alien look like refugees from a bad reggae band and the sets are so dark and depressing that much action is lost. This may have been John Travolta's effort to honor Scientology's founder(just my opinion) but he fell far short of doing that. What this is is a dismal not even grade B movie that is not worth 2 hours of your time..

keelhaul-80856 Why are so many Hollyweird A-listers and others involved in scientology? It is the same deal with the Mormons and Jehovah's Witnesses as well. Let's all follow some goofy or dangerous cult leader who was already debunked in modern times as a big fraud, and continue to put faith and money into this idea and exploit others with it.L. Ron Hubbard(or Old Mother Hubbard in a Cupboard) was one of the biggest conmen of all time, and spent time living and investing with freaks like Jack Parsons(a US rocket specialist involved with the occult) and Aleister Crowley. He even conned them and his own friends out of money with fake deals. He has made so many stupid statements and false claims that it is laughable that a bum would join his church, much less a cast of Hollywood stars with millions of dollars. Like P.T. Barnum said, "There is a sucker born every minute". Maybe someone in the church was blackmailing Travolta for being gay all these years, and forced him to make this garbage??? Or maybe he is truly in love with Hubbard's baloney. At any rate, this whole affair reeks of extortion, blackmail, or absolute insanity. These guys look like deformed orcs from Lord of the Rings, and saying that the plot and aliens are stupid is an understatement. The only thing that could have made this drivel funnier would have been Travolta dancing around as the character from Grease, or forcing massage boys to rub his alien body. Scientology= remember kids, it makes people behave like Tom Cruise and make movies like Battlefield: Earth. I can't wait for a sequel!!!

Peter_DeSilvey If you were bored out of your mind and this was the only movie you can watching it regret but its not a enjoyable film by any means. The story is weird and not believable. It feels like a rip off of better more classic Science Fiction Novels and Films. If you are on the fence about watching this I would recommend you save your time
