Movie Theater Battleship

Re: Battleship

From the cast, this looks like a better than decent flick. When I first read they were making a film based on the game "Battleship" last year I thought, "WTF??" but now it's on my must-see list.
 
Re: Battleship

this looks really intense,kinda like ironman/transformers/battle LA style. gonna have to see it.
 
Re: Battleship

Looks fun and looks like they're not using hot-ass to try to fill seats like so many recent skin..err action flicks. (maybe after Xformers they figured it out?)
 
Re: Battleship

Liam = Must See
Rihanna = Not so much

will wait to see how the reviews play out on this one... I have my fingers crossed that it wont suck, but I don't have high hopes
 
Re: Battleship

So has anyone seen this...worth the price of admission or wait for the rental?
 
Re: Battleship

It's been out here in New Zealand for a few weeks - exciting but predictably stupid. Not a "fun movie" on the level of "The Avengers" and really only worth it to see all of the crazy action. Well, that and that B.Decker chick

Re: Battleship

Wife, buddy and I just saw it. Much better than expected. More of an homage to the board game, and the trailers were a tad misleading. The action and special effects were excellent. The bit part played by a real Soldier (Colonel Gregory D. Gadson)was a nice touch as well.
 
Re: Battleship

Depends on your theater. We have a new one with great sound and seats, so prefer getting rocked by the sound waves. Per the wife this morning, we are getting the blue ray when it comes out...

Re: Battleship

IMHO, when the critics pan something, it only piques my interest. All a flick has to do for me is entertain.
 
Re: Battleship

It was a good flick. I would see it again. Best part is with the Missouri at the end.
 
Re: Battleship

I quit listening to the career movie critics after the rave review of the hurt locker. I haven't agreed with them since, and will make my own decision from now on. Iam not looking for life changing movies but only entertainment. Explosion, car chase shooting and hot chicks do that just fine.

I'll agree, where guys. blow some stuff up, make it loud and its a good movie
 
Re: Battleship

Just got back from watching this, It is an entertaining action flick.

A tad like Independence Day, you new they would find the alien weakness just in the nick of time.
 
Re: Battleship

Saw it, liked it, and may buy it. Worth watching IMHO.

But if you’re looking for skin, and enjoy scripts that are written by the communication challenged, look elsewhere.

We’ve now had Battle LA for the USMC, Act of Valor for the Seals, this is a Navy picture for both young and old sailors, where is big ARMY and USAF?

<span style="font-style: italic">Stealth</span> with Jamie Foxx was a USAF commercial.
 
Re: Battleship

Critics serve a useful purpose. They supply opinion to those who otherwise wouldn't have a clue.

They are a sign of the times, like the style sections in newspapers.

Re: Battleship

DVD/BluRay's out; got it, very entertaining.

The aliens were humanoid enough to really give you the creeps.
 
Re: Battleship

It was entertaining to see two Naval officers take out the alien's windshield with Barretts.
 
Re: Battleship

Being a Naval Aviator, I never thought I would spend a year in Iraq in an Army unit trying to Counter the IED threat to our troops. It is happening everyday in Afgan, Horn of Africa, etc. Working Joint is the norm.
 
Re: Battleship

I must be in the minority... Rented it last night after hearing about the effects and CGI. While they were pretty darned good the movie was over the top corny for me for the 2nd 1/2 of it...
