Battleship (2012)
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.

Pretty Good
A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.
The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.
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.
Not sure why people were so hard on this film... I've watched this a half dozen times and thoroughly enjoyed it each and every time.Sure, it's no academy award, but it's an incredibly exciting sci-fi romp, which keeps turning up the heat...
Amazing that the reviews hate this movie so much. After 14 years in the military yes I can see fault everywhere but this is fiction, fun fiction, alien fiction, futuristic fiction, Fighting fiction. So the writers didnt do a lot of research but thats what makes the movie so great! To be exact the errors that only specialist in military operations see make is a great movie because we know its fiction. We can just sit back and enjoy the action packed movie. Mankind vs Aliens ... Most movies have some plot to cram a point of view down your throat and stink for it. Lighten up dont look for fault and the action will give you a rush.
I know people hated this movie a lot and I've gone through their negative reviews only to understand what on earth made that movie "boring", "stupid", "implausible" to them. That's despite the movie with so many facets the viewers could enjoy like valor, team spirit, brotherhood, fun and so on, along with the backdrop of sci-fi, alien invasion and navy might. Now the people who are complaining about this movie for various reasons that I couldn't really understand, are only because of their failure to understand the movie plot imo.
