Do you mean "Bicentennial Man?"
I liked it. Both the novella and the movie.

There was no saving "Battlefield Earth." The entire book was dreck to begin with, and there's nowhere they could have gone with it to make it remotely entertaining. The entire storyline of "Battlefield Earth" reads just like the back story for Scientology, down to the fact that the alien overlords are called "Psychlos," and Scientology hates psychiatrists. (Oh, and the aliens have an "upper class" of overlords called "catrists" - see any more parallels?)
