Battleship Trailer
When I first heard that one of my favorite childhood games was being turned into a movie, I was instantly concerned. After seeing the finished product, I have decided to not be so critical on this one and take it as it is- a stupid, summer block buster, action adventure, alien movie. That description, in and of itself, makes me roll my eyes as a film major. But, apparently this shit sells so good for them. Anyway, in hindsight it was actually not horrible. The cast was an interesting mix with, Rihanna, Liam Neeson, Taylor Kitsch, Brooklyn Decker and Alexander Skarsgard. They all did a decent job, and served their purpose: to look good fighting aliens while wearing navy seal uniforms, which is undoubtedly the most attractive outfit a man can wear. Anyway, if you go into this film having no expectations, you will definitely be entertained. The action and special effects were incredible and looked very realistic. The script was terrible, but that isn't what this movie was about, as long as the ships looked cool blowing up that is all that really mattered. It was totally cheesy, and dumb, but very entertaining at the time. If you're looking for a movie that won't provide thought provoking questions, make you think at all, but show you good looking people fighting aliens- this is certainly for you. Also, you get to say "you sunk my battleship" and really mean it this time. Worth it.
