Just went to see "Battleship". I only need three words to describe it: "Pure, unadulterated dross". Or "Really, really bad".
A couple of folk actually left in the middle. I stayed because I wanted to see how bad it could get. I was not disappointed: it got worse. Random plot lines, characters that are not unbelievable but also implausible (not to mention paper-thin). Rihanna shouldn't give up her day job and whomever produced this movie really should try a different trade.
In short: I couldn't believe it actually made it to the big screen - it should have been sent straight to video tape, skipping even the "sent to DVD" stage. It was truly awful.
Do not waste your time or money going to see this movie.

What did you expect... deep dialog, well-developed characters? It's an action movie about an alien invasion, based (quite loosely) on a kids' game. It's the kind of movie where you put your brain in idle, sit back, and watch things blow up.
ReplyDeleteExcuse me... based on a kids' game........ and chicken burritos.
I didn't expect much, but I did expect to see an action movie that was aliens versus the US Navy! With the Navy winning, of course.
DeleteI didn't think it was possible to get much worse than "2112" or "Day after Tomorrow" - but this movie proved me wrong. Quite dreadful, indeed.
Well then, you may want to avoid SyFy channel's ripoff of the movie, which will be airing tomorrow. Ever notice that they seem to do a lot of that stuff?
Delete2012... oh yes, another movie where an actual brain isn't necessary. In fact, critical thinking is a skill that actually detracts from enjoyment of the movie. For that matter, critical thought pretty much destroys the whole "Mayan prophecy" thing altogether.
