I just happened to really enjoy the movie anyhow. gotta admit that it was a really weak plot/ending BUT these thigns can be improved on in books and such...yes I am thinking that there will be fantasy books written based on the movie and such and eventually there will be a cult following....OR.....maybe I am trying to justify the 25 dollars I spent on the DVD I bought without reading any reviews ont he net first.....

: Battlefield: Earth had the potential to be a really good movie. Except that it was too rushed plot-wise. It needed to be about an hour longer and certain unbelievable plot points would need to be eliminated.
: 1.) Primitive people are going to learn to work an atomic bomb just by reading a manual?
: 2.) I think maybe the planes in that hanger might have deteriorated just a little bit over 1,000+ years. Not to mention, where the hell was the power for the flight simulator coming from? That didn't decay over 1,000+ years either?
: 3.) Primative people who looked at a map and expected there to be actual literal lines separating states learned how to fly 1,000+ year old fighter craft?
: If they could have come up with a more believable way for the humans to beat the Psychlos (and come up with a better name for the "Psychlos), it could have been a kick-ass sci-fi flick. Alas, it was not to be.
