Holy shit this movie is so dumb. When it came out Navy recruiting offices hung the poster in the window, trying to draw in fans of a sci-fi actioner based off a goddamned Milton Bradley board game, just adding to the absurdity. “Join up and YOU can become an alcoholic lieutenant who somehow ends up commanding an international fleet against alien invaders and then when that goes to shit you can marshal up a group of WWII veterans and use their retired vessels to defeat them!”
Oh shit, SPOILER.
Embrace the suck of Battleship. It’s a very good bad movie, trying too hard to out-Michael Bay Michael Bay and actually succeeding at it. The “chicken burrito” moment in the beginning is somehow legitimately sweet. The over-the-top hardassery of Alexander Skarsgaard and Liam Neeson are funny as hell. Rihanna as a Navy officer is just not very believable. Enjoy.
