This film is bad and I'd give the movie itself 1 star. It appears that they spent most of the budget on the DVD cover. The cover shows a big city under attack from aliens. It looks good.

Unfortunately, the film is completely different from what is shown on the DVD cover. Almost all of the film is shot in one location: somewhere in the middle of nowhere. There's a lot of grass, a few bushes and a few trees. There is lots and lots of shooting but both the aliens and the soldiers don't ever seem to hit anything. The dialog is so bad that I honestly can't remember any of it.

Battle Earth also gets one star for the story. It's not that bad really. The story isn't very different from other alien invasion stories, of course, but that's OK. If you can ignore what your eyes are seeing then it's possible to imagine what the film would have been like had it been made completely differently!

It was the story that kept me watching until the end. I'm glad I did though because Battle Earth gets another star for the song at the end. That song is called Lonely by Shaela Miller. I've felt lonely from time to time in my life, so I could relate to it. I like the music and the lyrics to the song too. Finding this song hidden away at the end was definitely the highlight of the whole experience for me!
