Review of Battleship (2012) by Patrick K — 04 Feb 2014

Movie namesake of Hasbro's classic board game pits Aliens vs. U.S. Navy's version of Gomer Pyle. Perhaps the loudest movie ever, this flick packs 1 part "Transformers" with 2 parts "Independence Day".

If you can allow yourself to dispense with reality for a couple of hours, you'll find this movie watchable. But wait and catch this film on an airline flight soon--a place where you don't know anyone, can deny seeing it, and will forget about it by the time you secure your tray-table and Sky Mall magazine.

B-12: "Hit. You sunk my Battleship!". Grade: C-.
