Battleship @ IMDB
Total film Review
trailer at apple
Went to see this earlier this evening with the other half and was a little surprised
Don't get me wrong it won't win any awards and i was seriously concerned in the first 15 minutes with all the slow motion American flags flying during a football match between America and the Japanese at Pearl Harbour (Harbor) but it picked up and got to be pretty watchable and my partner and I walked away actualling thinking it was better than we first thought it was going to be.
Special effects are superb, if occassionally bordering on Transformers and at one point I'm sure there is a noise that sounded like the decepticons, overall worth the admission of an Orange Wednesday's code
The good was the sea battles, complete garbage in the real world (since im a real sailor), Rihanna was alright and comedy in the right places
The not so great, Alexander Skarsg?rd was wholly underused as i think he is great in True Blood and as mentioned the slow mo American saluting at flags etc
other real life pish was taking
from a floating museum to an actual battleship in an hour or so, but with this movie it's much better to dis-engage brain and sit there with a labotomy for the 2hrs plus runtime
I would buy it on Blu ray as it will look pretty on a lovely TV set
