Battleship (2012)

Battleship (PG-13) - Review

"You Sunk My Outlook on Life!"

The extremely unwise translation of blind guessing boardgame to Summer movie shlockbuster somehow cleared all natural impediments of rational thought and given a budget of over 200 million boggles the mind.  Battleship tries to incorporate too much disingenuous military authenticity,  explode too much large CG Alien machinery, dirtied too many Liam Neesons, ripoff too many Scifi-action robot flicks and appease too many international audiences to not be self aware of it's own stupidity.  The wasted level of human brainpower that went into forcing this square peg into this round hole, the act of transforming Battleship from plastic pieces to plastic acting makes one weep for future generations.  This is the kind of movie that should have caused riots upon release, and the slippery slope of acceptance will perhaps lead to one day of "Sorry: The Movie", complete with pop-o-matic fueled explosions.
