An international naval coalition becomes the world's last hope for survival as they engage a hostile alien force of unimaginable strength called The Regents who attempt to invade Earth to build a power source in the ocean. Lieutenant Alex Hopper (Taylor Kitsch) is assigned to the ship USS John and winds up commanding the team responsible for repelling the invaders before it's too late. In the daunting mission, Hopper must also try to live up to the potential his brother Stone (Alexander Skarsgård) and his fiancée's father, Admiral Shane (Liam Neeson), expect of him.

Cleverly subversive. Seriously. It seems like a big dumb action movie, but it's so maximally dumb that you have to stop and ask yourself if there's more to it, particularly from Peter Berg.
I contend Battleship is actually a self-aware parody of Transformers that plays itself so straight you can't tell the difference. It's the Poe of summer blockbusters.
If you want to see how smart the movie actually is, ask yourself "Who are the bad guys, and why?" during the movie.

Entretenida.
I really like this movie. You can just sit back, relax and have some fun for 2 hours.
Maybe not the best actors alive, but they still doing their job. Especially Gregory Gadson, who's a real soldier and despite his condition he really kicked some serious ass.

Don`t know what people expect from those kind of films ?
Unrealistic scenes ? Well, yes - its a sci-fi movie not national geographic.
I agree they could have gotten more into the aliens to give it a bit more depth and overall the whole movie is like a melting pot of severall others.
Nevertheless sometimes I need movies where I don´t need to much intellect.

Not so bad for a movie based on a Hasbro boardgame, except we understand neither the alien actions nor their psychology and there is too much unrealistic scenes.
