I saw the movie in high school, when it came out on VHS, and I loved it. I bought the book, and couldn’t put it down. It was perhaps my favorite piece of sci-fi for a while. I thought John Travolta was delightfully hammy, and that the movie was extremely quotable and fun.

A coworker of mine were just talking about musicals this morning, and my strong dislike of Hamilton. For some reason, it popped into my head that I would love a musical of Battlefield Earth, and John Travolta should sing in it. This sentiment was not shared by my coworker. So, yeah, that’s it.

    Do you like Waterworld? Do you like The Room? If so, you might find an appreciation for it. You need a soft spot for “bad” movies. Otherwise, you’re right.
