Synopsis: Based on a similarly named game, "Battleship" brings together an ensemble cast stationed in the Hawaiian Islands as an international naval fleet at Pearl Harbour. One day, all of a sudden, aliens are seen arriving, and little is known about them except that they are called "The Regents" and their mission is to build a power source in the ocean on planet Earth. However, "The Regents" have got it coming, for the navy fleet is there and they are determined not to let these invaders from outer space wreck havoc and destruction on their world. "Battleship" is also purported to show both sides of the story, from the aliens' perspective, as well as the humans' so the audience will know exactly where the opponent's ships are.

An interesting way to make a movie out of a boring and non-interesting game "battleship". The CGI and the battle actions are great, centering around 3 ships trapped in the alien force field without any outside help. Other than that, the whole movie seems far-fetched. It is weird though that 2 alien ships that are more technological superior than humans can lose in a 2 on 1 battle, and the alien mother ship can lose to a 50 year old human ancient battleship? Well, on the love story part, it is seemingly interesting that a stranger can get his girl by breaking into a shop, get Tesla shot at by the police, just for a chicken burrito that the girl wants to eat? Well, if you are all for the action type of movie, you can give this one a shot.
