    The book was pretty bad too. My English teacher in HS was a scientologist. She tried to have us read Dianetics, but some parents complained, and she got into trouble. After that she assigned us Battlefield Earth. It was the worst, and I was an avid SciFi reader when I was a kid. Ironically, the only good parts of that book were left out of the movie entirely.
    EDIT: Regarding gold, it's one of the best conductors known to man, but it's so expensive and rare that we use copper instead. It's actually an extremely rare element in the universe that is only produced in a supernova, or neutron star collision. There is a theory that a nearby star went supernova when the primordial cloud was just forming. That's why we have so much gold on the Earth. It's also a heavy element, so you will mostly find it in rocky bodies. Rocky bodies are actually pretty rare. Most orbiting objects are either ice planets or gas planets like Neptune and Jupiter. On the Earth we would not have had any gold if it weren't for the heavy bombardment period. During that period much of the gold was stirred up from the inner core by asteroid strikes, and put into the mantle to be later mined. Otherwise all the gold would have just sunk to the core during the formation of the Earth, and it would have been melted and been mixed with the nickel/iron core. Honestly of all the elements on the Earth, gold is probably going to be the one most likely sought out from extraterrestrial beings (if they exist). That or probably uranium, since it shares similar origins as gold, as well having been placed in the mantle by the same processes that placed gold in the mantle. Our gold and uranium probably came from the same supernova estimated to have occurred 6 billion years ago.

      @@MaxOakland Gold is not rare actually. There are asteroids in the Asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter with more gold than all the Earth combined, and you don't need to conquer or invade a planet to take it, just take it from the asteroid. We can't do it right now, but when we could go to the asteroid belt and take all we want, gold won't be precious. It is precious in Earth due to the scarcity. The Asteroid belt has a lot of other metals too

      Gold is very abundant, we just haven't accessed much of it yet. All the gold mined in human history would only fill an Olympic-sized swimming pool (estimates are between 20-22 cubic meters). Gold would be useful for a space-faring civilization, though, as it is great at blocking solar radiation. We've been using it to coat visors on space suit helmets since the 60s.

    What many people have a hard time understanding is; what we consider to be "rare Earth elements" are elements that are only really rare here on EARTH.
    Gold may not be in huge abundance here, on Earth, making them "rare Earth elements," to us. But, there are three distinct types of asteroids, (some near Earth) that have high levels of elements we would consider valuable enough to expend the necessary time and energy to mine someday. (Clearly making them a FAR better alternative to any other species of aliens that may have some use for them, than invading Earth.)
    There's;
    ▫️C-type asteroids , which have a high abundance of water which is not currently of use for mining but could be used in an exploration effort beyond the asteroid. (Mission costs could be reduced by using the available water from the asteroid. )
    C-type asteroids also have a lot of organic carbon, phosphorus, and other key ingredients for fertilizer which could be used to grow food.
    ▫️S-type asteroids, which carry little water but would appear more attractive because they contain numerous metals including: nickel, cobalt and more valuable metals such as gold, platinum and rhodium. A small 10-meter S-type asteroid contains about 650,000 kg (1,433,000 lb) of metal with 50 kg (110 lb) in the form of "rare" metals like platinum and gold.
    And then there's;
    ▫️M-type asteroids are rare but contain up to 10 times more metal than S-types..
    A class of easily recoverable objects (EROs) was identified by a group of researchers in 2013.
    Twelve asteroids made up the initially identified group, all of which could be potentially mined with present-day rocket technology.
    Of 9,000 asteroids searched in the NEO database, these twelve could all be brought into an Earth-accessible orbit by changing their velocity by less than 500 meters per second (1,800 km/h; 1,100 mph). The dozen asteroids range in size from 2 to 20 meters (10 to 70 ft).
    Obviously, if some more advanced Alien species encountered our solar system searching for these elements, it would be FAR more cost-effective to do something WE should have been doing since the 70's lol than invade and oppress the human population, as shown in Battlefield Earth.
    But, what's sci-fi got to do with science, right?! 👍😊

    This movie/book is a fascinating look into Hubbard's head.
    He named the alien beings 'Psylos' because he said they were supposed to be psychiatrists and the whole thing was a metaphor for 'I really don't like psychiatrists'. That was it. That was the metaphor for the movie: The iconoclast is being held down by the MAN, yeah! They hate that he's a free thinker!
    Hubbard was diagnosed as a malignant narcissist at some point in the mid 20th century. This was by most accounts a true assessment. However being a malignant narcissist, this pushed Hubbard over the edge and he spent the rest of his days writing ham fisted allegories about all the meanies who wouldn't play along and pointed out the emperor had no clothes. I mean how dare they! He was obviously this enlightened being that would make Jesus, Muhammad or Buddha look like rank amateurs!
    If the human race wouldn't be so defective about choosing leadership traits the guy would have been ranting on the street corners like a less pleasant Terry A. Davis. But he actually got his heart's desire creating an entire effin' religion all about 'How great he was'.

      Yes, I agree. Mission Impossible is one of the BEST movie franchises out there. I couldn't appreciate it as a kid, but when I got older, as a teenager, I could definitely appreciate the series more and more as the movies went on, same with the James Bond movies and also The Jason Bourne movies, and Taken. I mean, my Mom and Aunt loved the first MI movie(which I think wasn't based on the 60's TV series).
      I think Tom Cruise's version is just a standalone movie series, but each MI movie just gets better and better than the previous one. And I can definitely appreciate the MI movies nowadays. I mean, it's getting harder and harder to appreciate and find good movies now. I might be losing faith in superhero movies, but not anime movies though.

      A good reviewer is honest and critical, and even if they spend most of the time picking apart the flaws of something they include a long section about the parts they enjoyed or at least mention it in the wrap-up.

    You were wondering why tanks and fighters were not destroyed in a war. But You can find many explenations for this. The right question to ask is: how the hell were they operational after a 1000 years? In my old car brakes got to rusty to drive, when I left it unused for two weeks. After 1000 years they would be lucky if they managed to open doors in Fort Knox. Complex machines like jet fighters would be way beyond repair.

    Only read the first 1/5. It shows how this film couldve been great if ir wasn't travolta's multimillion dollar turd.

      No, actually that's not the situation at all. Why is it always the assumption that when a guy and a girl are friends, the guy wanted a relationship and the girl rejected him? That's such bullshit.

    Something neglected in almost every sci fi: the humans should not be able to use alien weaponry because it is more advanced, meaning they likely have DNA locks and other far tech security measures that would more likely cause the weapon to explode when picked up by the enemy

But there are also a lot of things allegedly written by LRH that he only started and let others ghostwrite for him. That's not unusual. Then again, there is also some stuff he had nothing to do with at all that has his name on it - and it's just a cash grab for the church of Scientology.

      @@RedSiegfried You are right, as a pulpy author his early stuff was praised by people like Stephen King and others till now, and even BFE has its ironic fans (Mitt Romney called it a "very funny science fiction book") so I was exagerating for fun, but post Church creation Hubbard was clearly a different "animal", much more covertly disseminating his propaganda (LOTS of antipsychology and conspiracies stuff) and much more meandering, little imaginative world-building and weak wording. Not even considering how hard it is to know what Hubbard wrote and didn't wrote since the Church let him claim authorship for a lot to prove how much of a Renaissance Man genius he was as you point out.
