Join us for an evening of literally unbelievable science fiction with John Travolta’s BATTLEFIELD EARTH.

Film critic Roger Ebert said: “Sci-fi epics usually begin with a stab at impressive titles, but this one just displays green letters on the screen in a type font that came with my Macintosh. Then the movie’s subtitle unscrolls from left to right in the kind of “effect” you see in home movies.” and it just gets better from there…

Based on the novel by yer fella L. Ron Hubbard and brought to the screen with operatic conviction by big JT, the film imagines the year 3000 as a place where humans have misplaced both their sovereignty and their posture. The Psychlos loom. The camera tilts. Everyone has disgusting finger nails.

This special event embraces the film’s extravagant angles and thunderous declarations as artifacts of failed ambition – not so much space opera as planetary busking.

Hosting the evening is Joe Nawaz (Operating Thetan Level 8*), who will provide running analysis and L Ron-sanctioned live commentary, guiding us through its spectacle, excess, and, oh my god so much accidental comedy.

Expect an immersive atmosphere, a brief introduction situating the film in late-90s blockbuster optimism, and a post-screening conversation on cult afterlives.
