Story
American scientist and NASA researching the space ... finds a similar planet like Earth..keeps the name as Planet G ..where they find all sources water,air etc..so they send a signal from the Hawaii station through a satellite to the G planet...here down in Hawaii, Alex Hooper(Taylor) who is lazy guy living with his brother who is working in American navy as a Captain..Alex falls for a girl Samantha(Brooklyn) and runs his brother in a trouble where Samantha is none but Navy Fleet Captain's (Liam Neeson0 daughter...To bring on interest..Alex unwillingly joined in navy by his brother,,,
Alex and Samantha loves each other and waits for right time to deliver it to Captain..At the time , American navy conducts a game where all the country navy team participates and excels...finally they have combines navy exercise & training under the fleet captain's show...on the another level radar shows five things comes to the world from space and lands in the pacific ocean near Hawaii....three of the battleship get in their wall surrounded by a light??or kinda techie ball..all the connections,radar gets disconnected ..even fleets captain could not see whats happening behind the wall...mean time ..NASA scientist comes to know that its Alien who came to our world through the signal we sent....but alas ...those alien machines come here with a mission to send a signal to their planet G to invade and destroy the world..
But they need to wait for the transmission signal till morning as that satellite comes only once in a day in orbit path...already two ships are destroyed by the aliens and its the take of Alex ,Samantha, and his team with one ship and few navy people get ready to destroy these aliens with their knowledge..guns..rocket launchers...Alex is already in anxiety as he didn't express his love to her father, lost his dear brother in battle, edge of the suspension from navy...how he tackles the high-tech weaponry aliens and destroys ships with the help of his battleship and gets back his name is the rest of the movie...
Strengths
We have seen similar type of movies..but its Peter bergs simple screenplay and awesome Special effects which keeps us glued to the seats...the scenes where alien ships lands the ocean, giant shark circling the alien ship in the deep-dark ocean, the climax alien biggie coming out of the sea..the ball like machine rolling into the airbase..amazing...simple ideas, clap-worthy scenes to bring down the aliens like tracking them through Tsunami alert machines, killing them in sun rise..its all pacca entertainment..the movie is pretty fast with some breath taking CG...Peter Berg pays great tribute to the old battleships and navy people...movie salutes them...
Taylor after the role of John carter does his job well, while Liam Neeson..proves his mettle in small but a very important role...Rihanna is okay while Brooklyn is adequate..Movie has some humorous dialogues ,funny one-liners which makes us relax in the middle of the Alien war ..Photography is fantastic...alien ship viewed by Taylor...and ocean -eagle eye shots are great..music by Steve is major asset for the movie...the alien special music though remains Transformer style ..it is enthralling...best to this sci-fi movie..stunts are big enough for the action lover...
Weakness
Some times movie seems to be overdose of CG ..noisy and loud with always gun firing or shouting at high decibel might bring you migraine...some scenes reminds us of Transformers, Independence day, War of the world..etc..
Battleship is sure a treat for action lover and sci-fi takers...don't get involved in logic..enjoy the ships..guns..dishyum..dishyummm...
Verdict:6.5/10( 1.5 for Special effects, 1 for music, 1 for photography, 1 for the mind blowing actions, 1for casting and 1 for direction and screenplay)
Movie canvas Punch: Battleship ....is popcorn-tainment..
