Battleship Trailers

When mankind beams a radio signal into space, a reply comes from ‘Planet G’, in the form of several alien crafts that splash down in the waters off Hawaii. Lieutenant Alex Hopper is a weapons officer assigned to the USS John Paul Jones, part of an international naval coalition which becomes the world's last hope for survival as they engage the hostile alien force of unimaginable strength. While taking on the invaders, Hopper must also try to live up to the potential that his brother, and his fiancée's father—an Admiral—expect of him.

Reviews
Linbeymusol Wonderful character development!
HottWwjdIam There is just so much movie here. For some it may be too much. But in the same secretly sarcastic way most telemarketers say the phrase, the title of this one is particularly apt.
Bessie Smyth Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.
Edwin The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
Stuart Fisher I watched this because I wanted something light that I could just watch and not think about. If you do think about it, it's obvious that the whole battle doesn't make any sense, but you don't want to think about that too much. You can see that Battleship borrows quite a lot from other science fiction: War of the Worlds, Star Trek, Pacific Rim, for example. All in all it's not too bad. I'm being generous but I'm giving it a 7/10.
pinkfloyd_m My gosh! Aliens can travel faster than light but don't see in the night or in the sun. Seems a Second World War scene. Interesting more for Us Japan friendship against an enemy too much human and too much weak so you can easily beat it together.
jviramontez Not sure why people were so hard on this film... I've watched this a half dozen times and thoroughly enjoyed it each and every time.Sure, it's no academy award, but it's an incredibly exciting sci-fi romp, which keeps turning up the heat...
MovieBuffMarine I was expecting crap, but---while this wasn't anything super special---it had a watchable quality to it.There were many past movies where aliens invaded earth and the military responds (from the fifties and sixties). Battleship was reminiscent of those movies and was a nice updated version of that era.Acting wasn't too bad. Liam Neeson and a young ensemble give life to this cliche'd story.The retired battleship USS Missouri---which was denied use in 1992's "Under Siege" due to security concerns (as she was still active when that film was shot)---is featured here as herself. (In 2001's "Pearl Harbor" she played other ships.) She was a nice touch.The film was pretty silly, but not to the point of retching. A lot of fun to it despite the serious tone of alien invaders. The name of the movie is pretty much to cash in on the name of the popular Milton Bradley game.Again, the movie wasn't too bad; with a running time that breaks the two hour mark, it should have been much better. But it's very watchable
