Review of Battleship (2012) by Callum D — 22 May 2015

What an amazing film! Poorly written? If your film preference is along the lines of Alien/Si-Fi with an additive of Action and Comedy, I cant offer a reason why not to watch this. There has been speculation as to why this film is a 'flop', including the proposition that it doesn't have many 'big stars' (what is Liam Neeson if not an amazing actor?).

I would like to believe that the only reason that this film hasn't scored as big as it should of, is because its release was close to the release of many other great films (such as Avengers) which may of partially shrouded the deserved praise this film should receive, and not that the 'Top critics' have gone blind.

I am an avid film fan, with a varied range, and can honestly say that this is a fantastic film, with a great cast, top quality effects and a story line that successfully and cleverly integrates a board game with an alien film, WHAT IS NOT TO LOVE?. Please Peter Berg, give us what we crave; a sequel as good as the first film! But what do I know, im just a film fan ;).
