a5c7b9f00b A naval war ship encounters an alien armada and faces the biggest threat mankind has ever faced. If they lose, the world could face a major extinction event and an alien invasion. Will humans win this alien war, what are the aliens doing here, and what do they want? Based on the Hasbro naval war game.
Based on the classic Hasbro naval combat game, Battleship is the story of an international fleet of ships who come across an alien armada while on Naval war games exercise. An intense battle is fought on sea, land and air. What do the aliens want?
I watched this because I wanted something light that I could just watch and not think about. If you do think about it, it's obvious that the whole battle doesn't make any sense, but you don't want to think about that too much. You can see that Battleship borrows quite a lot from other science fiction: War of the Worlds, Star Trek, Pacific Rim, for example. All in all it's not too bad. I'm being generous but I'm giving it a 7/10.
From the people who brought us the extremely stupid Transformers, Battleship was already dead in the water (pun intended) in my books. Then I fell for the tweets that were hailing ita good movie. I should have stayed away.<br/><br/>FYI, a battleship is a heavy warship with extensive armour protection and large-calibre guns. This film is based on a board game called Battleship.<br/><br/>*long pause…*<br/><br/>I know movies have been made based on video games before, but I don't see enough material in a board game to produce a film inspired by it. Next thing we know they'll be releasing a Farmville movie… *shudders*<br/><br/>So some idiots at NASA thought it was a brilliant idea to send out a random signal of invitation into space. To their complete obliviousness, the signal is answered by technologically advanced small fleet of alien ships. In true Hollywood style, these aliens can not only travel through space, create impenetrable force fields, have telekinetic powers and superior weaponry, but are conveniently handicapped by the 'oh-so- bright' sun, with a complete lack of common sense. So they get their butt kicked by a bunch of veterans, bad actors and a decommissioned battleship while leapfrogging over water with the US flag flying high.<br/><br/>Lieutenant Alex Hopper (Taylor Kitsch)the movies protagonist is a mix of depressingly bad acting and utter annoyance. Alexander Skarsgårdhis brother Commander Stone Hopper seemed a lot more convincing and should have lived instead. Brooklyn DeckerAlex Hopper's love interest Samantha Shane had the "daunting task" of looking confused and distressed most of the time while being the eye candy. The love/hate triangle created between her, Alex and Admiral Shane (Liam Neeson) was off-putting. Liam Neeson seemed to be there just for the pay check and snooze walks through his tiny role.<br/><br/>RihannaPetty Officer Cora 'Weps' Raikes was just there to add a headliner name to the poster. John TuiChief Petty Officer Walter 'The Beast' Lynch was the one-liner sidekick with not much else to do. Gregory D. Gadsonamputee Lieutenant Colonel Mick Canales was believable until he goes hulk on some clueless aliens. Hamish LinklaterCal Zapata was the squeamish nerd while Tadanobu AsanoCaptain Yugi Nagata was the Japanese flavor in the film.<br/><br/>I think it's obvious by now how much I did not like this film. The characters are badly written, the screenplay is utterly pointless, the dialogues are terrible, the story makes no sense and there is nothing in the way of intelligence. But all is not lost. The CGI is brilliant and the action scenes are well choreographed. I especially like the usage of the bird's eye view to show the standoff. The design team behind the look of the aliens and their ships did a commendable job. Also, the way the aliens differentiated between a hostile and a non-threatening situation was an interesting take on an alien invasion. Even with their plans of a full-fledged attack, they were never the aggressors in the one-on-one combat.<br/><br/>After getting away with the rubbish that was the Transformers trilogy, maybe it was assumed that Battleship would face the same fate. Fortunately it did not and hopefully it'll put an end to the idea of trying to sell a senseless paper-thin story with CGI awesomeness. *long pause* I know that's not going to happen but a man can hope…
Overlong and underwritten even by the standards of summer f/x extravaganzas, this Battleship will nonetheless float with many on the strength of its boyish, eager-to-please razzle-dazzle.
Director Peter Berg said:I spent a lot of time in the Navy thinking about who would make sense and who would bring an urban swagger to this character…put a call in, had a great couple of meetings, and she's a great girl, really hard-working, very smart, wants to be good, really strong work ethic, no attitude, no diva nonsense. She was great. There are some references in the movie that loosely connect it to the original Battleship board game. Those who are familiar with the game can pick up on them easily.<br/><br/><ul><li>Part of the plot involves the aliens emitting an electromagnetic pulse, which disrupts radio signals, including radar, communications, and targeting systems. The aliens themselves are unable to detect ships unless they have a direct line of sight. This means both sides are blind to each other's positions—just like the game, where the player is unaware of the enemy's position and can only fire blind.</li></ul><br/><br/><ul><li>The alien artillery "shells" look just like the pegs used in the game to mark hits and misses. In the movie, several of the enemy "pegs" embed themselves into a ship deck or hull, and then all simultaneously explode and sink the target ship. In the board game, an enemy ship is sunk only after several pegs are used.</li></ul><br/><br/><ul><li>Due to their lack of radar, the Navy resorts to receiving signals from the NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) system of buoys. The system is designed to track tsunamis (and other natural events) by detecting water displacement levels, but can detect any massive water displacement, suchthose caused by the alien ships. The NOAA system is composed of a network of buoys spread across the ocean surface to form a grid, which is displayed on the Navy ship's instruments, and looks similar to the grids used by players in the game. Also (as in the game) the Naval personnel call out alien targets using a letter-number code to mark positions on the grid—and spotters on the ship call out "miss" and "hit" after each missile salvo.</li></ul> No, but someone does say, "They're not sinking this battleship!" It's the Naval Working Uniform (NWU). Based on the MARPAT Marine Corps Combat Utility Uniform, with multiple pockets on the shirt and trousers, it uses a multicolor digital print pattern similar to those introduced by other services. However, the NWU is also made in three variants: predominantly blue (with some gray) for the majority of sailors and shipboard use; a woodland digital pattern; and a desert digital pattern for sailors serving in units requiring those types of uniforms, suchSEALs. Woodland and desert variants may be tailored differently than the blue-pattern uniform. The overall blue color reflects the Navy's heritage and connection to seaborne operations. The pixelated pattern is also used to hide wear and stains, something unavoidable with the utilities and working khakis used previously. The colors were also chosen to match the most commonly used paint colors aboard ship, extending the lifetime of the uniform on long deployments where uniforms often come into contact with freshly painted surfaces. This uniform is also worn at Naval Medical Center San Diego and other on-shore facilities. As of 2012 the NWU is authorized for wear outside of military installations. Yes. There's a short scene showing three Scottish kids finding one of the derelict pieces that splintered from the original formation at the beginning of the film. A man with a truck full of tools happens by and uses some of his implements to try to open it, failing, until a blowtorch works. They struggle and finally succeed in opening the pod, and the scene ends with them all running off scared, when an alien inside starts climbing out. "Interstate Love Song" by Stone Temple Pilots.
