“There are 3 hugely anticipated block-busters this year and Battleship was the first one to be released. I had expectations of watching this at that cinema a few times and getting it on blue ray – this is my type of movie!; or at least that was the expectation. With such great promotional footage and Liam Neeson heading the cast, it had to be great. In reality, Neeson has almost a bit part (in fact you see most of it in the promotional adverts), clearly there to increase sales of the movie; with the bulk of the u0026#39;actingu0026#39; coming from Taylor Kitsch.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eA ludicrous start with Kitsch playing a 27 year loser who, on the recommendation of his brother (Alexander Scarsgard) joins the Navy, suddenly to become at Lt Cdr – The script is clearly written by someone with no military knowledge or experience and that the actions, demeanour and interaction with all that are supposed to be military personnel, is a non sense. It makes Top Gun look believable! However, it gets worse;with aliens that have made there way to earth with great looking craft,that impressively rise from the ocean (great CGG) – you see it on the commercials for the movie, the only weapon they possess are melee type Armour – pretty ridiculousu003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003ereally and by this point the movie has lost any form of credibility. The outcome is obvious from the first few minutes and I certainly wouldnu0026#39;t go back for a repeat viewing. Itu0026#39;s still probably worth a watch if you canu0026#39;t resist, but donu0026#39;t buy any pop corn; thereu0026#39;s enough corn in this movie!”
