Battleship was panned by critics but remains one of my favorite “popcorn” movies. The plot, aliens, battle scenes and soundtrack all worked together to gel into a fun action packed thriller.
We loved it too. Our boys watched it dozens of times, so much so, I had to ban it.
Just a ball-tearing fun ride:
good looking military men in uniform for the girls- check
hot female love interest for the guys- check
vet facing his demons- check
big-ass alien space ships with insane weapons- check
lots of unbelievable special effects- check
brothers dealing with their issues- check
Liam Neeson- check
USS Missouri going to sea set to AC/DC's Thunderstruck- Awesome!
Missouri blasting the chit out of the Aliens- Check
America saves the world, again- Check.
What more do you need, huh?
