I hear it's awful. Most of the bad movies I want to watch one day are sci-fi. Event Horizon is another. Battlefield Earth is on my list of really bad movies to watch one day. I hear it’s awful.

It IS long, and may be longer than is really necessary. One of Kim's commenters said the plot was "kooky," which I guess means it couldn't happen in real life (usually isn't a problem for me when I'm reading <em>fiction</em>), and that the characters were "cardboard," which means...well, I'm not sure I understand what that means. Maybe it means the good guys are always good and the bad guys always bad. I don't know. When it comes to fiction, I have fairly low standards, as long as it's entertaining.
