Earth Story (DVD)

L.Ron.Hubbard - Battlefield Earth

Advantages: It's Ok
Disadvantages: It's ONLY Ok

security chief for Earth (Played in the movie by John Travolta) He is taught the Pyschlo language and trained to carry out Terl's plan to make himself rich and powerful. Whilst working for Terl, Johnny is free to enlist the help of other slaves and sets about to start a revolution. With unseen consequences across the multi-verse and for his future. Opinions *********** L. Ron Hubbard was the founder of the Church of Scientology. Knowing that you cannot help but read into the book the under lying subplots where Jonnie, the nobody hunter, ends up through his beliefs, freeing the world, becoming emperor of the multi-verse and causing cataclysmic consequences to the entire Psychio race.

Life on Earth - David Attenborough

Advantages: So educational and interesting. Beautiful footage
Disadvantages: None what so ever!

are really amazing and really fit in well with the theme of the series. The box set itself comes in a cardboard sleeve which has a large picture of a frog on the front. It has 'Life On Earth' written at the top in large white letters and then at the bottom 'David Attenborough' in smaller yellow letters. The box set opens out like a book so you can see all of the dvds at once to allow for easy selection! The front cover of the inner box set is identical to the cardboard sleeve. There are not many special features on the dvd, only a 'Wild Track with Tony Soper' which is quite interesting. It has an interview with David Attenborough on it and gives information about the filming and the content of the programs. This special feature is on disc 4 of the dvd box set. There is also the option to watch this dvd with English subtitles. Not ...

Whose Earth Is It Anyway?

Advantages: Some good acting/moving moments
Disadvantages: Generally dull

Having not been to the cinema in some time, my sister and I decided after a hectic day of sale-raiding to spend the evening watching a good film. As we knew very little about the films being advertised, we were relying on a trailer I had seen for the film The Day The Earth Stood Still, which gave me the impression this was another, hopefully exciting, disaster movie with lots of action. I was also somewhat keen by seeing that it had Keanu Reeves in, although I've never been sure how much I actually like him. Story A UFO comes careering towards the Earth and lands in the middle of Manhattan, where scientist, Dr. Helen Benson (Jennifer Connelly) first greets the alien creature, Klaatu (Keanu Reeves), soon to change the world. The mysterious creature, which takes human form and speaks perfect English (and Chinese) is met by ...
