The plot is incredulous and the script couldn't be riddled with more holes if you unloaded a shotgun at it. On a certain level, there's no way I can claim that Battleship is a good movie in any conventional sense. Hell, in the credits it's "Based on the game by Hasbro," so go in prepared and enjoy. All the folks griping about the technical problems - well, it's all true - but who cares? This movie doesn't pretend to be realistic. But it's a pretty decent way to kill a couple hours and snarf down some popcorn. We're not talking about "Apocalypse Now" kinds of performances, but it wasn't horrible either. Neeson is decent as the admiral or whatever, and even Rihanna does an acceptable job. But try not to worry about that - the writers sure didn't. Mind you, some of the technical deficiencies of the alien technology will leave you wondering how these creatures managed to cross a galaxy. But when the aliens want something blowed up, they do so with conviction.
It's not as over- the-top as Battle LA - where there was so much going on you get overwhelmed. The alien technology is actually pretty imaginative and the animation is good. The timing of the ACDC music for the going-into-battle scene is perfectly done. Another thing I like is that there is an appreciation for the warships and the people who serve on them. Battleship had none of that - just a bunch of thick-headed do- gooders doing what they do best and not really learning a whole lot about anything, including themselves, in the process. Nothing slows down a good action flick like a damn love story in the background, or the hero dealing with his feelings or, worse still, putting brats in the line of fire. Why? Because this movie didn't make the same critical mistakes of trying to have Acting in the damn film. And, yes, I think it's better than Battle Los Angeles or even the latest Transformers. That said, it's actually a pretty fun movie. Seriously, if you are up on your military technology at all it's best to go to this movie seriously drunk so that you won't care about the dumbness. are so bad and stupid as the be insulting. Some of the plot points, tactics, technical gaffes, etc. OK, first of all, yes, this movie has more holes than the surface of the moon.
