Battlefield Earth was a great book, but the movie had no chance.

Battlefield Earth was good but the Mission Earth series was prescient and really needs to be made into a series of movies.

It has the correct mix of science fiction, illustration of the ridiculous current state of society and how PR Men run amok, plus accurately predicted the demise of music.

It’s the ANTI STAR WARS.

BOOM

I liked the BE movie, a lot different than how I imagined it looking when reading the book, but a full fledged attempt to bring the book to life.

Nothing wrong with that movie at all, kudos to Travolta.

Get Peter Jackson on Mission Earth and it works on many levels, including neutralizing the control of the PR men.
