Review By: Rob Sibley
Have you ever sat through a movie that's so boring that it makes you want to self harm? Well if you're suicidal then Battle Earth is your ticket to paradise. Just take a look at that cover art... looks fun right? Soldiers, a destroyed city, a helicopter and look an Independence Day style space ship! Oh yeah... besides the soldiers you don't get any space ships or burning city's. What you get is a group of Canadian's playing soldiers in the woods for an hour and a half. It sounds like I'm being harsh but seriously this film is fucking boring. If you looked up boring in the dictionary you'd find this film. Nothing happens until the final ten minutes and when the shit hits the fan... well it's disappointing... much like a Thai massage with no happy ending. No me love you long time here folks. Just blue balls and disappointment all around. Pardon the sexual puns, I had to entertain myself somehow.
Let's get the "Plot" out of the way first right? Sorry I faded away for a bit just thinking how this film felt longer then a fucking Leonard Cohen song. Confirmation of extraterrestrial life appears on television screens
across the world as a massive spacecraft breaks through the atmosphere
on a crash course into the Atlantic Ocean. A young paramedic, Greg
Baker, signs up to fight for his planet against the invaders. Baker
joins Special Forces members as the squad medic as they escort a
classified package by chopper over enemy territory. When their chopper
is shot down they find themselves surrounded and outnumbered. Desperate
to return to his wife's side and haunted by nightmares, Baker find that
his role in the war has quickly become much larger than he could have
ever imagined. The mysterious package may be the key to turning the tide
of the war, and possibly to saving all of humanity, but Baker must
decide whether to protect it or sacrifice it to ensure his own survival.
