So my boyfriend and I spontaneously went to the movies yesterday and we saw a movie that I was not all that excited to go see. But never-the-less, I wasn't against seeing it, my boyfriend wanted to see it, and (while this may sound kinda bad) he was paying so I couldn't complain too much! Hehe, but in the end the movie was very very good!
Yes, Battleship. Yes, it is based off of, or more inspired by, a board game. That was the first reason why I wasn't all that thrilled to go see the film. Also, the two main female characters are not even actresses. Rihanna is, as I'm sure nearly all of you know, is a singer, and Brooklyn Decker is primarily a model. In my book, hiring non-actors automatically gives some points against it. But Decker was actually a very good actress in this and, while Rihanna was not the best actress, she had minimal lines but some great one-liners and some good action which covered it up well.
Anyways, the premise of the film was a less-than impressive man named Alex Hopper becomes a lieutenant in the Navy through the encouragement of his older brother and a girl, Sam played by Decker. While this is going on NASA sends out signals to another world that has very similar climate and atmosphere to Earth. With these two story lines in hand, the main point of the film develops:
"A fleet of ships is forced to do battle with an armada of unknown origins in order to discover and thwart their destructive goals."
There was great action in this film, the storyline was well thought out, and there were also some rather funny moments and one-liners in the film.
While I would not put this as the BEST film I have ever seen, my boyfriend seemed to enjoy it a bit more that I did, it was still very good! I think just about any man would love it and it was done well enough and was entertaining enough that any woman would enjoy seeing it with her man.
I would definitely recommend seeing it and already have to one of my friends.
