I saw the reviews of Battleship and was duly
turned off. The movie turned me back on. In a sentence, I would describe
this movie as a light take on alien invasion. The corvettes and destroyers are
there aplenty, and the US and Japanese fleets show exemplary celluloid
solidarity in seeking to destroy a near-impregnable alien fleet. There is all
the Hollywood science in measured doses, but most of the movie just consists of
Marine bravado, and much heavy air strikes and shelling. Battleship is an easy
watch, and meant to be so. And, with the heavy metal soundtrack overlay and
all, one leaves the hall suitably fulfilled by the popcorn fare
13/20
