OK, don't laugh, but I actually enjoyed this movie. It probably helped that I went in with incredibly low expectations, but still, I will admit that it was fun. This movie is the epitome of a brainless popcorn-munching action flick; I found myself subconsciously cheering and smiling and hurray-ing throughout the film. The plot is ridiculous, the acting is terrible, but you cannot help but let yourself get carried away with the go-America-whoop-that-alien-ass mentality. Loosely based on the game Battleship (which if you aren't familiar with you clearly had a sheltered childhood) the film even brings in some pretty solid game references - you will indeed hear things like "B-15" and "you can't sink this battleship".
So go ahead, hit a matinee, get a large popcorn and let the film wash right over you. Predictable and cheesy, I can pretty much guarantee this film will at least crack a smile across your face.
I cannot imagine life without movies, but am in no way what one might typically think of as a film student. I admit to watching and often enjoying foreign films, but to be perfectly frank I love nothing more than your down n’ dirty cheesy Hollywood action flick. Generally I watch all sorts of films so have a recommendation for almost anyone; except horror (no point with my eyes shut) or anything depressingly sad (film is for fun, not tears). This is raw “real me to real you” film feedback.
