mayoraaseiRecently got dragged to see Battleship by my coworkers, only because Mirror Mirror wasn't showing at night and no one suggested 21 Jump Street (not that I'm sure I want to watch the whole movie just for a few seconds of Johnny Depp cameo).
Battleship is very much a boy's movie, full of testosterone and scantily clad women and American patriotism and Transfomer-esque robotics.
The plot can basically be summarised in one sentence: aliens invasion, America saves the world.
It's funny though that the girls walked out of that movie thinking it was funny and the guys in the group walked out moaning about how bad it was LOL
It's an entirely forgettable movie, full of rounds of predictable pyrotechnics, one after another so that it swallowed any other story element, namely character development and...well, plot.
I'm not quite sure who wrote the script, but it sounded like someone living in an alternate universe where idiotic drunk guys spoke like they're in a Victorian play. Or something.
It's a good movie if you're the type of person who doesn't mind spending nearly $20 for 130 minutes of amnesia-inducing explosions.
