Battleship - The Movie (1 Viewer)

[SaintsInDome2006]

Ok I cop to liking this movie.

Brooklyn Decker, Sun Tzu, aliens, old War vets on a Missouri class battleship, killing a Sunday afternoon.

Quite possibly the worst movie ever made.   From a screw up to boat captain in record time.  Got it.  The dropping the anchor maneuver might be the dumbest and far fetched idea ever on film.

You don't physics very much do you?

And did he mention Brooklyn Decker?

I don't physics?  What?

Anchors don't work like that.

It was a turn-off-your-brain-and-enjoy-the-ride movie and I think they set that tone well early enough to know what you were getting.  I think they did a good job with it given that.  The actual Battleship game part was both silly and clever enough that it worked. So did the 'yes this wouldn't work but it looked cool and that's all you should have been expecting' anchor-drop thing.

Here we go, this thing has grown on me with the replaying. I plead guilty.

It's not as bad as "Down Periscope" starring Kelsey Grammer.

Let's see, drop anchor while going fast, boat stops suddenly, boat is then pulled to the side since it can't move forward anymore due to dropped anchor.

Physics.

And Brooklyn Decker.

absolutely awful movie and made no sense whatsoever.  I mean, you have to have SOMETHING to engage the viewers and there was absolutely nothing.

 

[The Big Guy]

I will also admit to liking this too.  The little We are all going to die speech at the end is so heavy handed it makes me cringe everytime, but I still like it.

Met one of the Producers of this film. She refused to even talk about it. She pretty much considered it her worst failure

Bad at a Battlefield Earth level

What did she consider to be her best failure?

It is not *that bad.

What did she consider to be her best failure?

Not avoiding that conversation with Dallas.

 

[Dan Lambskin]

Kinda surprised this many of you watched this movie

 

[Riversco]

Taylor Kitsch plays that reckless hothead role really well.  Also in John Carter he plays the same type of character.   

 

[DallasDMac]

What did she consider to be her best failure?

She was actually pretty successful. I know she did Friday Night Lights, stuff like that. I think she really regretted getting involved with that movie.

Can't speak for the movie, but the book was excellent!

 

[jon_mx]

Yet still more believable than The Revenant and that was based on a true story and was up for Oscars. .

The scene were Rob Schneider yells "prepare for dive!" is the best short scene in movie history.

But yeah, Battleship was a pretty awful movie.  I like some "turn off your brain" movies, but not sure anyone can turn their brain off THIS much.

I love how in a movie where slithering aliens invade in waterborne ships which use old fashioned mortar systems as their primary weapons and have to hop around rather than fly it's the anchor trick which offends your sense of reason.

This is not a blockbuster movie which costs you 30 bucks for a date and food anymore. This is a Sunday afternoon free cable movie shown where they show Godzilla, Three Stooges and fare like that. It's got a gorgeous girl, patriotic themes, implausible story lines, a rogue Jim Kirk guy, international rivals working together, World War II vets saving the world ("I need to borrow your boat"), AC/DC, and a battleship.

 

[Cold Dead Hands]

I like it. It's a movie about aliens invading only a tiny portion of earth, based on a board game where you announce letter and number combinations to find your opponent's ships. Based on that, it is a fan-#######-tastic movie.

 

[eoMMan]

Haven't seen it...does Rhianna get nekkid in it?

 

[ClownCausedChaos2]

Did anyone actually say the words, "You sank my battleship!" ?  If not, utter horse####.

I agree I loved that book. I actually thought the movie wasn't that bad either.
