I watched Battleship

Fun, silly, entertaining.

A movie worth going if you need something to do in a weekend, just don't waste cash on 3d.

Essentially, the movie start out double stuffed with cheese. The All American Good Navy Guy trying to put his dumbfuck brother on track and end up forcing him into the navy where he kinda gets his act together, but continues to fuck things up.

Lo'and behold just around that time, Nasa found a perfectly analog planet to earth and started beaming Sound waves towards it... as it turns out, the Aliens seems to get reeeeeeeeeally pissed about all the White Noise from space, cause they just decide to come up and Conquer us... there is one micro-scene that kinda, maybe suggests that they are fleeing their planet and looking for a new one to live... but if you blink y'll miss it. Also, the same scene kinda, maybe, sorta suggest that the aliens have some sort of Telepathic ability... i dunno.

Well, It just so happens that the Aliens aren't invencible. Just much stronger. They can beat us, but not take as fully head on. Specially since their First contact is made of 4 Ships (one which gets blown up upon entry into the atmosphere) and a Mothership. They need to send a signal home to kinda paint the trail for their whole Assault fleet.

All of this just so happens to take place right during the Military Navy Wargames around Hawaii (where also you have the only Tower the aliens can use to signal home) and presto, you have a setting.

The entire navy exercise seems to be just about Japan and the USA, which at first don't seem to get along, but by the end they become buddies...

All and all feels like a Michael bay movie but with you actually being able to follow the plot and the action on screen.

The way they placed the original "Battleship" board game into this one was really crafty and got a chuckle out of me, well done indeed. Also points for the aliens for having Weapons ten times more impractical then they are powerful while still being really damn powerful.

EDIT: Ah! Also it seems that you have Rihanna in this movie as the only Female member in all the navy all around the world... so there is that.

Also fun is how by the third act they are forced to bring in a bunch of really old guys to run a old battleship instead of their super modern destroyers.

But if you REALLY want to watch this movie, for whatever reason... do it to see this scene
... but done with a boat in the ocean. I'm not joking, i'm telling you... this happens and it's awesome.
