Battlefield - The West Wall DVD

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: John Travoltas acting

...Its the year 3000 and earth is under the control of the Psychlos, an evil alien race who drain the planet of its national resources. John Travolta plays Terl, a particularly nasty alien whose aim is to become as rich as possible and Barry Pepper plays jonnie, who, after gaining some alien insight, instigates a human uprising. Science fiction films have vastly improved over the last few years and renewed interest in the genre meant that the days of bad wigs and even worse scripts were long gone, or so we thought. Theres little character depth, the plot and script are mundane and the special effects are less than breathtaking. Do not pay to see battlefield earth it really doesnt deserve your hard earned money.... Read review

Advantages: Very realistic setting and true to era
Disadvantages: A little on the gorey side

...This film is an all time epic - a must see! If you can stand the gore as Romans are slaughtered on the battlefield and in the arena you'll ove this film. A very moving plot with lots of high quality acting and emotion. A very touching tale that leaves you feeling amazed. I feel that this film gives a reasonably accurate picture of life as a Roman soldier - the way the cities and arenas are generated is extremely impressive and the quality of it all will astound you. An excellent use of music and emotional appeal too.... Read review
