Having read the Book 'Battlefield Earth' by the Late Great L. Ron Hubbard, you can imagine my joy at the release of the film. Much awaited anticipation was soon to be let down once i saw the film. Now John Travolta is a brilliant and talented actor but i feel he was let down buy the script department this time. Although the film was watchable and did stick with most of the original storyline, i feel in my opinion that it was lacking the impact that the trailer implied and thefore seemed to lose the audiences interest halfway through the movie. The sort of film i would bung in the VCR if there was nothing else on. Travolta was convincing to say the least, but i feel he could have given more.
