Those 2 hours went by extremely fast and the sound was incredible!

Awesome special effects. Awesome movie. Though the story is not so good but those action fill up the gap quite well. Enjoyed it :)

Only watch for the special effects! The acting is terrible. there is no point to Rhianna's character, there has been alot of false/misguided marketing beefing up her role but her role is small and mostly consists of reaction dialogue (She doesnt even get her ass out lol). Liam Neeson wtf were u thinking? Rhianna was in this movie more and thats saying something. The whole plot evolved around an armageddon style relationship with a stupid commander's brother and the admirals daughter who gets arrested for stealing a burrito next minute hes in the navy as a lieutenant and after 2 officers die he becomes the captain and saves the entire planet (Ive not seen someone go up the ranks that quick since Apollo in Battlestar Galactica). To top it off the alien ships are terrible as well, they just hop on the water (in one direction) like a cross between a water strider and a frog, they also dont fly. I Couldnt pinpoint where they spent $200,000,000 it must all be in CGI or the fee for Rihanna. One thing that pissed me off was the fact your intelligence was being insulted constantly. an example was when 3 wheel like destruction robots are launched to take out the enemy (which is the US) but they destroy loads of unarmed helicopters, run through a field where kids are playing baseball, destroy concrete pillars holding up a section of a freeway instead of destroying the only remaining docked Battleship equipped with Harpoon and Tomahawk missiles that ultimately takes them out. It also happens to be a 70 year old battleship with a crew of the same age who are able to get the ship running in no time (also it still had most of its ammunition on board). Disappointing

4/10

"Battleship" is a Sci-Fi film with over the top action and a very predictable storyline that realy leaves you just watching mindless special efects. Rihana is stuck to our faces in every single scene and the "Transformers" silliness is felt all over this from the very beginning. If you like the Transformers trilogy, you might actually like this but if you are like me and can't stand over the top films that make no sense..check something else.

Not the most sensical or realistic of movies, but I heavily enjoyed it. It starts off slow but it quickly gets more exciting. I like how mysterious and powerful the aliens are pictured, you don't even get to see what they look like until pretty late in the movie.

I've just watched this for a 2nd time and can't quite believe how much I enjoyed it! Its like a crap version of independence day, but that makes it kind of endearing. The special effects are some of the best I have seen in a movie and the sound is out of this world but actually the story is so bad its entertaining in a strange kind of way. Definitely a film you should watch a couple of times, its a grower!

basically transformers in the water but i enjoyed it, acting bad but special effects were amazing......kind of wish it did better so a sequel would come out but can't always get what you want. i still call it Battleshit but love this movie either way

Michael Bay can only dream of making a Transformers film this good, but this is still pretty awful. Independence Day on water without the humour, this is played far too seriously. Predictable and largely dull and forgettable.

This movie was so BAD, the CGI was pretty good, but the alien race were just a bunch of weirdos with transformer vehicles.

At one point they had some kind of a shield out, which they couldn't pass, but that just got ignored and all of the sudden they were out. It made no sense at all.

Adding to that was a scene where they had to climb a boat which was vertical, and they did that on their knees so that was complete rubbish as well.

And the amount of bad one liners in one movie was just so high...

Gave it a "Weak souce"...

The scriptwriters were probably on strike, but still this movie works. Loads of action fun. Worth the 2 hours??? In my humble oppinion...you won't find a better mindnumbing action this summer...so yes. :)

I had a lot of fun watching this film; I don't understand why people hate on it so much. Battleship was an excellent popcorn flick through and through. Yeah the story line was light but the special effects and action scenes were amazing and I found myself cheering for us (the human race) a couple of times throughout the film. There is just one scene in the whole movie which mirrors the game this film is based off of, but besides that one small scene nothing else about the game Battleship is used in the movie except for the title of the film. Instead everything else about this film is your typical science fiction/alien attack movie. As far as the acting goes, you can't go wrong with Liam Neeson and Alexander Skarsgård; Rihanna should just stick with her music career, and Taylor Kitsch was just OK for the lead, but I felt like they should of got someone else for the part. All in all, Battleship is a solid entertaining summer popcorn flick.
