I think the askew views add more credibility to the film, in a silly don't-worry-it's-a-movie-so-let's-play-pretend kinda way. It's kinda like Batman (the old television series). The producers knew (or perhaps didn't want) some oftheir shots to be taken seriously, so they filmed them from an angle. Adding such shots to Battlefield Earth added a similar taste to most of the film. It still blew though.

The story was just picked up by the Wall Street Journal. Looks like this is not a drill.
