Battleship
The battle for Earth begins at sea.
When mankind beams a radio signal into space, a reply comes from ‘Planet G’, in the form of several alien crafts that splash down in the waters off Hawaii. Lieutenant Alex Hopper is a weapons officer assigned to the USS John Paul Jones, part of an international naval coalition which becomes the world's last hope for survival as they engage the hostile alien force of unimaginable strength. While taking on the invaders, Hopper must also try to live up to the potential that his brother, and his fiancée's father—an Admiral—expect of him.

It rhymes with ship! Actually that's a little unfair, for those after a two hour plus movie of noise and robotic like destruction, then this has a modicum of popcorn frivolity about it. But it's all so vacuous, any semblance of a story is given over for a chance to show some Transformers effects work, the human characters constantly an afterthought as they play second fiddle to another CGI action scene. It feels l…

Battleship swung for the fences in hopes of being the next Transformers and struck out. I can't say …

This is a phenomenally dumb movie. That doesn't make it impossible to enjoy by any stretch. It's a fun movie, not despite it being dumb, but because it is dumb. It is acted with more sincerity than it deserves, and the effects look more decent than they need to. The premise is ludicrous and they play it as straight as they need to to get the laughs that they are looking for. Maybe it's a guilty pleasure, but I still …
