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!

rlange-3 Why is one of the leaders of a Canadian infantry squad wearing an Arafat kifaya scarf? He even pulls it over his face every time combat starts, as if he is afraid the aliens might take his picture and put it on the internet. The squad actually decides to just abandon a moderately wounded sergeant because "ya can't save everyone" and he "might slow us down". Worse, despite the script, they don't seem to be in much of a hurry.Others have commented on the misleading cover, poor acting, and shallow plot. This movie stinks.That's a shame because I love the "Earth invaded" genre, and there are some potentially creative plot elements including a mysterious alien pod. But that's not enough to overcome the shallowness and boredom.

janet-reilly-1969 What a rubbish, rubbish film. I am furious because the DVD cover looked good (depicting a city in flames and a bridge being blown up) when in actual fact that never happened in the film. It was just a load of blokes running around a woods pretending to be soldiers. If you swapped the guns for a paint balling gun, it would have been the same (but perhaps funnier!) I wish I had read some reviews before I bought the movie.Very disappointing - a 13 year old could have made a better film that this one.Can I have my money back?

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.
