a5c7b9f00b Based on the classic Hasbro naval combat game, Battleship is the story of an international fleet of ships who come across an alien armada while on Naval war games exercise. An intense battle is fought on sea, land and air. What do the aliens want?
A fleet of ships is forced to do battle with an armada of unknown origins in order to discover and thwart their destructive goals.
I thought this was an excellent way to explain how battleship works. For one, I like the fact that an alien aversion was to be the unexpected twist in a war game between many countries who get together to show off their skills at sea. Alex Hopper (Taylor Kitsch), a bumbling idiot who never advances beyond the beer bottle or getting into trouble finally is put to the test by his older brother Stone Hopper (Alexander SKarsgard) when he enlists Alex to duty. Now a few years later during the engagement of the war games, a mysterious alien race replies to a signal sent from earth and lands in the ocean decides it is time to take over the planet. Except they did not count on Alex to completely put a dent into their plans. Using a large array on Honalulu, the aliens try to send a trace signal to their home world for reinforcements. But in the midst of this calamity, Alex and his motley crew of misfits, work together with a Japanese Captain Nagata (Tadanobu Asano) who help in finding a way to defeat their foes. With another crew of the past. Now armed on the USS Missouri (WWII-Battleship) they succeed in foiling the aliens plans for world domination. I like the fact that using Tsunami Bouys to pinpoint the aliens location is a symmetrical strategy like the board game. This was a great movie, lots of good effects, some good laughs, and a few heart wrenches thrown in during a loss of comrades. This is much better than the last summer movie called Battle for L.A. Liam Neeson who starsan admiral was a bit short lived, but his persona always makes me smile what ever he plays in. And last but not least, Rhianna. Who starsa weapons specialist makes her big debut, and is already on the risebeing a good movie actor. All in all, a wonderful display of friendships, old and new working together, and how to kick alien ass when ever the occasion arises. Highly recommended.
Battleship (2012) <br/><br/>*** (out of 4) <br/><br/>Exciting "revisioning" of the board game features Taylor Kitsch playing a talented man in the Navy who has several attitude problems, which keep him from moving up in rank. This is all about to change when five spaceship like things crash onto Earth and soon four of them are surrounding Hawaii and it's up to Kitsch and his men to try and fight them. I walked into BATTLESHIP with pretty low expectations but it didn't take long for me to really warm up to the material, the characters and all the action that was going on. By the time the end credits started to role I must admit that I had a terrific time in the theater and while there were several flaws for the most part this was a very entertaining summer blockbuster. I think the film works besta fun throwback to those patriotic action films in the 1940s. Seriously, the Liam Neeson character would have been played by someone like John Wayne and the Kitsch role would have went to someone like Rock Hudson, James Stewart or one of those types. Now, I'm not comparing Kitsch to those actors by any stretch of the imagination but it really seems obvious that director Peter Berg was waiving the American flag high and proud, which is something directors in the 40s were doing. This film has a rather incredible "us vs. them" mentality and most importantly is that the film has fun with it. The action scenes are some of the best in recent memorywe get all sorts of wild explosions, gun battles and countless other bits and pieces. One of the most memorable scenes happens when the alien ship releasing this metal ball of destruction, which is quite a treat for the eyes. The scene where it rips through a city is quite breath-taking and the energy level is off the charts. The CGI effects, something I'm usually negative about, were very good and I thought the creature design and spaceship design where quite flawless. As farthe performances go, for the most part they are fine. Kitsch makes for a good leading man and Neeson is also strong in whatever he does. I wouldn't say Rihanna and Brooklyn Decker gave "good" performances but they fit their roles just fine. BATTLESHIP has pretty much everything a good summer film should have and I was surprised by the fact that they also took time to develop the characters and actually deliver a real story. It's the story that really grabs you and brings you into the material and the producers deserve credit for that. It's just a shame that the film is being overlooked by so many, probably because it's based on a board game.
The movie drags on way too long, but there are things to like.
Director Peter Berg said:I spent a lot of time in the Navy thinking about who would make sense and who would bring an urban swagger to this character…put a call in, had a great couple of meetings, and she's a great girl, really hard-working, very smart, wants to be good, really strong work ethic, no attitude, no diva nonsense. She was great. There are some references in the movie that loosely connect it to the original Battleship board game. Those who are familiar with the game can pick up on them easily.<br/><br/><ul><li>Part of the plot involves the aliens emitting an electromagnetic pulse, which disrupts radio signals, including radar, communications, and targeting systems. The aliens themselves are unable to detect ships unless they have a direct line of sight. This means both sides are blind to each other's positions—just like the game, where the player is unaware of the enemy's position and can only fire blind.</li></ul><br/><br/><ul><li>The alien artillery "shells" look just like the pegs used in the game to mark hits and misses. In the movie, several of the enemy "pegs" embed themselves into a ship deck or hull, and then all simultaneously explode and sink the target ship. In the board game, an enemy ship is sunk only after several pegs are used.</li></ul><br/><br/><ul><li>Due to their lack of radar, the Navy resorts to receiving signals from the NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) system of buoys. The system is designed to track tsunamis (and other natural events) by detecting water displacement levels, but can detect any massive water displacement, suchthose caused by the alien ships. The NOAA system is composed of a network of buoys spread across the ocean surface to form a grid, which is displayed on the Navy ship's instruments, and looks similar to the grids used by players in the game. Also (as in the game) the Naval personnel call out alien targets using a letter-number code to mark positions on the grid—and spotters on the ship call out "miss" and "hit" after each missile salvo.</li></ul> No, but someone does say, "They're not sinking this battleship!" It's the Naval Working Uniform (NWU). Based on the MARPAT Marine Corps Combat Utility Uniform, with multiple pockets on the shirt and trousers, it uses a multicolor digital print pattern similar to those introduced by other services. However, the NWU is also made in three variants: predominantly blue (with some gray) for the majority of sailors and shipboard use; a woodland digital pattern; and a desert digital pattern for sailors serving in units requiring those types of uniforms, suchSEALs. Woodland and desert variants may be tailored differently than the blue-pattern uniform. The overall blue color reflects the Navy's heritage and connection to seaborne operations. The pixelated pattern is also used to hide wear and stains, something unavoidable with the utilities and working khakis used previously. The colors were also chosen to match the most commonly used paint colors aboard ship, extending the lifetime of the uniform on long deployments where uniforms often come into contact with freshly painted surfaces. This uniform is also worn at Naval Medical Center San Diego and other on-shore facilities. As of 2012 the NWU is authorized for wear outside of military installations. Yes. There's a short scene showing three Scottish kids finding one of the derelict pieces that splintered from the original formation at the beginning of the film. A man with a truck full of tools happens by and uses some of his implements to try to open it, failing, until a blowtorch works. They struggle and finally succeed in opening the pod, and the scene ends with them all running off scared, when an alien inside starts climbing out. "Interstate Love Song" by Stone Temple Pilots.
