Battlefield Earth (2000): a "Travolting" Scientologist movie

Based on L. Ron Hubbard's (Scientology founder) book of the same name, starring John Travolta. Hugely hyped by the Church of Scientology, it had the third worst 3,000-theater-plus opening weekend up to that time. Several describe the pain experienced while watching it: more than one reviewer gave their review as simply "Travolting." The Washington Post offered a rather pointed critique, stating in part: "A million monkeys with a million crayons would be hard-pressed in a million years to create anything as cretinous as Battlefield Earth."

The film won seven Golden Raspberry Awards, including Worst Picture. In 2005, an eighth Razzie (for Worst "Drama" of Our First 25 Years) was awarded to the film.
