FILM REVIEW: Battleship (2012)


Missed the first 34 minutes on the way to see 'Battleship', so I figured we missed most of the "important" character/story development, and just head straight to the chaos and stuff.

What ensued were about 100 minutes of awful characters, atrocious acting, obsessive slo-mo, obsessive dubstep, music from the dependable Steve Jablonsky, cliche cinematography, annoying alien sounds, racism towards Asians, stereotypes over the military and nerds, a modern reenactment of Pearl Harbor, one-dimensional heroes & aliens, uninspired references to a board game, and one-liners far more predictable than a BBQ on a 4th of July.

Heck, not even Liam Neeson can save this one!

They got Liam Neeson! And it still failed!

Maybe, just maybe, the USS Missouri intro with the kickass veteran naval crew was a nice touch. But if you want some thing, anything redeemable except just flashy SFX... then you're obviously very intelligent enough to avoid this crap.

1/2
