It looked like Battleship vs Transformers in the ads. That has nothing to do with the game at all. I have no idea what kind of audience they were aiming for.
Large robots invade Earth, okay.... US takes old battleships out of mothballs to fight them? One of the dumbest premises ever.
We went to see “Battleship” today and found it to be quite entertaining. I have no trouble recommending it.
Meanwhile a true story with lots of battleships and naval warfare (Leyte Gulf) goes unfilmed....
“One of the dumbest premises ever.”

I would rather watch Battleship than fork over my hard earned cash to liberal actors like Clooney or Sam (I love Obama) Jackson who insult me and insert their left wing politics in their movies and off-screen. How many movies are there that don’t require these ass clowns to do that?
Even dumber premise: old battleship (decommissioned in 1992, and which has not moved under her own power since then, which has been operating as a floating museum since 1999) has fuel in her bunkers, can be gotten running by a handful of old guys in under an hour, and HAS LIVE AMMUNITION FOR THE MAIN GUNS ON BOARD for just such an eventuality.
