(Very) loosely based off of the popular board game, Battleship finds Lt. Alex Hopper joining the U.S. Navy (at the urging of his older brother) to finally own up to his childish behavior and to ultimately do something important with his life. Of course, Alex rarely listens and constantly gets into trouble with his superiors. It's not until his girlfriend urges him to ask her father for permission to marry her that he starts wondering, but doesn't actually take any action to, if it's time to grow up. Before he can ask her father, however, some debris from space crash lands near Hawaii where Hopper is stationed and he must head out to investigate. What follows is the ultimate battle for survival as the Navy fights off a group of lethal aliens.
I can sum up Battleship in one word: STUPID. Stuff like this makes me wonder who seriously thought making a movie out of a board game was a good idea. It's one of those movies that was unintentionally funny at the absurdity of it. Not to mention that it is a complete ripoff of the Transformer trilogy and Independence Day except for the fact that this time around it's just aliens and and not a robotic alien race. The only good thing going for it was that it was better than Wrath of the Titans, but that's not a big compliment. If you have some time to kill and you're looking for a comedy then look no further. I garauntee you will be laughing at this one. Otherwise skip it.
