Aliens in large spaceships land right smack dab in the middle of a Navy
exercise off the coast of Hawaii and immediately put up a large force field that
they can fire out of but nobody can fire into. Stuff happens and only one
ship, captained by a total fuck up, can save the day.
The main reason I watched BATTLESHIP is because it featured Tadanobu Asano, but
despite the fact that he only had a minor role I still ended up walking away
enjoying the film simply because it's so goddamn crazy. Common
sense, reality, intelligent story...all of that is thrown out the window in
exchange for raw entertainment. And it somehow works. Funny opening
scene, non-stop action, lens flare overdose, sound effects overdose, fat tits in
a white t-shirt, pretty explosions, impressive special effects, aliens killing the fook out of humans, a chicken burrito, aliens that could
totally kick our asses doing stupid shit, Liam Neeson, beautiful Hawaiian
locations, cringefest dialogue, rock music montages and lots and lots of shooting and
explosions. Worth a watch while folding laundry.
