Is it now a Hollywood tradition to make really shitty movies set in Oahu?
Don’t get me wrong, I did enjoy watching this movie but holy fuck is it bad. The premise is nonsensical, the jingoism is super over the top. Is this meant to be a satire?
If you went into a summer action blockbuster focused around the US Navy based on a board game and co-starring Rhianna expecting a cinematic tour de force and Oscar nominations well… thats on you.
Bwahaha got me there.
It was definitely not the world’s best movie, but given it was literally an adaptation of the board game Battleship, it was better than it has any right to be. I would say better game adaptation than Halo.
It was a fun movie to turn your brain off to. I personally enjoyed it as a brain-less action film, and I liked how they interpreted the game mechanics into real world action.
Wait, it’s actually a battleship movie?? I thought that was a joke because of the name
The board game rule pamphlet is the main plot arc. Both sides doing the whole blindly firing at given coordinates because… aliens
I assumed it was just an ad for the Navy, but like…fun
Yes it’s bad, and yes it’s fun.
And yes, people like to film in Hawaii.
my condolences. saw it as a double feature when it came out. luckily the other movie was good.

That’s awesome! I was definitely pleasantly surprised at how much fun it was.
