10 Most Insufferable Movies Since 2000
3. Battlefield Earth
L Ron Hubbard, the founder of Scientology, said: Writing for a penny a word is ridiculous. If a man really wants to make a million dollars, the best way would be to start his own religion.
There's a reason why The Church of Scientology has its headquarters in California - it's the cult capital of the world, full of people so desperate to believe in something that they'll follow the ideas of a hack sci-fi author. Some disciples are so famous that they can get movies made based on Hubbards books, little realizing he was laughing while he wrote them.
In Battlefield Earth, aliens with Rasta-style hair and shoestrings dangling from their noses take over the world, then train the man animals to use the technology that will eventually be used to overthrow them. As sci-fi, the movies a washout, but as a joke played on the viewer, its one of the funniest you'll ever see.
