Battleship 2012

Yes, it's true. This is ridiculous, cornball, and over-the-top. I mean, "Armageddon" style over-the-top. But it's also entertaining and a lot of fun. I didn't think I'd like it at all. I almost turned it off after the first 15 minutes but when the aliens showed up, things started hopping.

Much of the acting is terrible and what isn't is bad and delivered with a smirk. A lot of people will dismiss this as flag waving, rah-rah, patriotism. However, I thought it paid nice tributes to Veterans. It just shouldn't have let them act.

The visuals are great with Director Peter Berg tearing up the screen, delivering fast-action and transitioning into some amazing stop-on-a-dime, slow motion sequences. The explosions are great and those alien space craft are remarkably original. Everything in this movie is big and powerful.

This is not a movie to be taken seriously, it's just made to be taken in.
