Battleship (2012)

I haven't seen the movie, but was Taylor Kitch playing a psychic?
EDIT: Dimple explained this below. Thanks

Wrong, were you even watching the same film?!

The visions seen by Taylor Klitch explain what was going to happen.

This 1.000,000%.

When the Alien grabs his face he sees an invasion of multiple ships and massive explosions all over the Earth.

Of course this is where people say that it doesn't look like Earth and it could well be the Aliens planet being attacked by other Aliens and they've come here to get away and live in harmony.
 
Totally forgot about that bit! Although in all fairness they are probaly just giving us a kicking as we brutally slaughtered the 4 ships they sent to say hi :)
 
Watched this last night and it was exactly like I expected.....OTT with shoddy acting and cliches....enjoyed it though, completely silly but it's like Transformers in that you leave your brain at home.
 
Watched this last night and it was quite enjoyable. Especially liked that the Battleships bit was only really 5 minutes long and fairly sensible.

Err, no.
The Aliens were going to make contact back home so they could make a full scale invasion.

But that is only what was assumed. Even when they were fighting man to man it seemed like the humans started it every time. What was especially telling (other than the green to red when we decided to pick a fight) was the bit where the Alien allowed the scientist to leave with the case... I also question why the Alien on the ship did some telepathy and showed what looked like their home world being attacked... Or was that supposed to be him warning the Lieutenant that they would be invading...?

Couple of other questions that got me all the way through... They spent ages attacking the littler ships, why the hell not just launch a load of missiles at the forcefield ship, they didn't appear to be able to stop them... And then there is the question of why attach the third ship (and the generator ship afterwards) when they had just been told they just needed to blow up the dishes...! Fire off a couple of missiles and then attack the third ship!:confused:

And then there is the question of how a 20 year decommissioned ship still had live rounds on it, and was still in full working order, even down to the electrics working in an hour or so (and the boilers still working!).:D

Seeing a what looks like a proper battleship firing (good CGI) was epic though. Must have been a sight to see when 16-18" guns were fired!
 
I thought this was the worse film I seen last year, it didn’t have one redeeming quality, at least transformers usually has some half decent action. It had plot hole so big well you could drive a battleship through, the aliens don’t come across as even remotely threatening and I mean who on earth brings an alien on board and not one person in the room have a gun!?!?!?

Then there was the bit were all the veterans turn up to man the battleship, it must be one of the most cringe worthy moments ever put to film.

Lol, awful film.
It and Prometheus certainly neck and neck for the turkey.

However since Prometheus gave it all that about being such great film it falls far harder than Battleship which was always going to be about the cheese. Personally I thoroughly enjoyed watching Battleship as I wasn't expecting it to anything other than it was, Prometheus on the other hand was my biggest film viewing disappointment since the awful Harry Potter finale.

Exactly this, Battleship is in the same class as The Expendables. Sit back, veg out and just enjoy the cheese!

Prometheus pretends to be something great but flops harder than John Smith's "Running Bomb"
 
Battleship was awesome, those balls of spinning metal were great to watch and when it cut through the ship was amazing special fx.

The only things i didn't like about it was the rianna, she can't act one bit, but decker made up for it. Other lame part was the old ship that they used but that was obviously done cheesy on purpose.

I like how it ends with them talking about a chicken buritto just shows they didn't take it very serious.

Thats just a get out of jail free card for rubbish films. The expendibles 2 was half decent as a cheesy action film, the first one was poor. Battleship was just poor throughout. Everything about it was rubbish pretty much. Didn't make any sense and the action was just plain silly.

Its hard to say what differentiates between a good bad film and a bad bad film but this fall firmly in the bad bad camp.
 
The handbrake turn of a 50,000 ton battleship on the anchor chain had me.

Awful film but has some good effects and the sound is pretty decent on the Blu-ray with the sub turned up.
