Alex Hopper, a Naval officer assigned to the USS John Paul Jones; Brooklyn Decker as Sam Shane, a physical therapist and Hopper’s fiancee; Alexander SkarsgΓ₯rd as Hopper’s older brother, Stone, Commanding Officer of the USS Sampson; Rihanna as Petty Officer Raikes, Hopper’s crewmate and a weapons specialist on the USS John Paul Jones; and international superstar Liam Neeson as Hopper and Stone’s superior (and Sam’s father), Admiral Shane. Berg directs this epic action-adventure also produced by Scott Stuber (Couples Retreat), Sarah Aubrey (The Kingdom), Brian Goldner and Bennett Schneir of Hasbro (the Transformers franchise), along with Duncan Henderson (Master and Commander).

Review:
Maybe it’s because of all the hype around me, it makes me have a high expectation towards this movie. During the character development process (the first 45 minutes), I was feeling very impatient. I only wanted to see the battle part! The visual effects were impressive though but story wise, I have no idea why the aliens doesn’t kill certain people. Maybe they only kill people who tries to kill them?

Not as good as I expect but if you compare it with most alien movies, I’d say this is not bad.



Rating: 5/10

P/S: Wait for the after credits! There’s a short clip πŸ™‚

    I think this movie is quite nice. Starting for the battle part, my heart keep beating so fast. But quite funny that the alien has kindhearted. Won't kill those people one. Hahaha

    Wow…your review…is the lowest I have seen so far…only 5 out of 10? Haha πŸ˜€

    1. Charmaine Pua says:

      Err haha that's what I felt as soon as I watched it la…
      Probably affected by the hype LOL
      Anyway, it's rated as 45/100 in RottenTomatoes :p

  7. Tekkaus says:

    I am going to watch it later. Let's see if it is really a 2 and half star (out of 5) movie. :p

    1. Charmaine Pua says:

      So how?

  8. Huai Bin says:

    I rather liked Battleship. I played the board game as a kid with my sister. Haha.

    I was wondering how they'll make it into a film and it surpassed my expectations. A popcorn summer flick, don't think too much, just enjoy the action. πŸ™‚

    1. Charmaine Pua says:

      Haha I didn't even know the board game existed until the time I watch this movie LOL

      Yeah true, the action was awesome πŸ™‚

  9. Henry Tan says:

    lol i watched it too! well one thing i learn about movie is that never have any expectation on the movie, the best if you dont even watch the trailer! haha like that you will be surprised that how much you enjoy the movie. πŸ˜‰

    1. Charmaine Pua says:

      I actually didn't watch the trailer but my friends in Fb and Twitter anticipated it very much so I thought it must be a super awesome movie!

  10. Thristhan says:

    5 out of 10? My parents said this was a superb movie, and their opinions are always negative. I've personally not seen this yet, so will judge later k? I accidentally watched the trailer on Astro, wished I hadn't.

    1. Charmaine Pua says:

      Wah really??
      I guess they meant the battle part was superb πŸ˜€

  11. foongpc says:

    Huh? 5 out of 10 only?! I think most people give 8/10 which I think is a bit too high lah. Haha! I give it a 7. The reason I don't give it a 8 is because I find the story nothing much to shout about, but I love the machines, the actions and all the explosions! LOL!!

    1. Charmaine Pua says:

      Haha I just realized that most commenters in my blog are guys! >.<

  12. Taufulou says:

  15. Nicole Sim says:

    i saw this movie yesterday and i must say it is quite good for me. The movie is mainly giving tribute to all military who served during WWII, thus the missouri battleship is more chiooo than the the latest high-tech ship in the movie LOL.
    but… can win over planet G? LOL. you kiddin me right AHHAHA.
    anyway, I enjoy this movie πŸ˜€

    1. Charmaine Pua says:

  19. Armstrong says:

    Only 5/10? Friendship… over. Wakakaa jaz kidin.

    I think it's because like what you said, a lot of hype about the movie. That makes your expectation so high, right. Because like me, I didn't know anything about the movie other than it's about aliens and Rihanna's in it. Hehee.

    1. Charmaine Pua says:

      LOL Y U SO CRUEL?? :p

    2. Daniel Chiam says:
