Very Cool!!!

Such a frustrating disappointment

Nice effects though.

If you don't like this, we can't be friends.

LRH's oppression of the human race knows no bounds. An absolute marvel of complete failure from top to bottom. And it's crazy boring.

Never, I repeat, NEVER trust IMDB ratings OR reviews made by either professional critics or the average person, as well.Sadly, we have grown into a world of I want bigger-better-more-realistic-but-an-unrealistic/impossible-Fx/CGI-epic movie that leaves most movies lacking at the box office. Based on this premise, 90% of all action/adventure/fantasy/sci-fi movies are going to fall incredibly short.Okay...so I can't possibly deal with the short-sightedness of the idiots that claim that BE should have a 1-star rating. My recommendation is simply to look for films that have your fave actors in it. And if they've put our some pretty nice movies, trust that all future ones will be, at minimum, fairly enjoyable. As was this one...Hell, Travolta's sarcastic alien laugh, alone, is worth the watch. And his right-hand man Ker - Forest Whitaker - was played quite well.Was this an awesome film like Terminator (2), Gladiator, X-Men, etc.? No! But seriously, people...stop being so overly-critical and just enjoy the movie and what went into it. And seriously?!?...razzing on L. Ron Hubbard?!? Get real! I'd like to see you put out ANYTHING at a minimum at a 0.5-star rating for a film or book that even 1-5 of your closest friends could appreciate and then try critiquing a film like this.Okay, so what I'm saying...as critics, 99.9% of you suck at this, so NEVER quit your day job. And you professionals should never have started...your career is nearly over. :-)

Before watching this catastrophe I assumed the low score had something to do with Scientology. I thought surely people are giving it a lower score because it's based on Scientology. But now I'm shocked that it doesn't have a score of 1!!! Who in their right mind gave this a score higher than 1?

This film is absolutely revolting. Almost in every way possible. First off, the costume design is ugly and looks completely fake. Secondly, the acting is so cringe-worthy, that one could barely sit through more than 40 minutes into the film without laughing due to how unbelievable the acting is. And because of that, almost every single scene that was meant to be serious just came off as more funny due to the ridiculousness of the performances. Third, the camera-work in this film is always slanted for some reason and is completely unnecessary. It can almost give one a headache. This film is so bad, that I honestly wonder why this even exists. As almost everything about this film is completely flawed and utterly terrible. I can't recommend this to anyone, as i'm sure it will strongly disappoint everyone with its terrible acting, ugly costume design, and silly premise, just like it has done to me. I hope one day that Hollywood will actually make a decent film based off the book in the future. And learn from the mistakes in this absolute disaster of a film.
