Lovers of bad movies rejoice, "Battlefield Earth" finally has somebody to play with. There are times Ed Burns looks so pained to be in this film, you half-expect him to look into the camera and say, "Remember when I directed and starred in Lovers of bad movies rejoice, "Battlefield Earth" finally has somebody to play with.
