Is it now a Hollywood tradition to make really shitty movies set in Oahu?
Don’t get me wrong, I did enjoy watching this movie but holy fuck is it bad. The premise is nonsensical, the jingoism is super over the top. Is this meant to be a satire?

If you went into a summer action blockbuster focused around the US Navy based on a board game and co-starring Rhianna expecting a cinematic tour de force and Oscar nominations well… thats on you.
Bwahaha got me there.
It was definitely not the world’s best movie, but given it was literally an adaptation of the board game Battleship, it was better than it has any right to be. I would say better game adaptation than Halo.
It was a fun movie to turn your brain off to. I personally enjoyed it as a brain-less action film, and I liked how they interpreted the game mechanics into real world action.
I assumed it was just an ad for the Navy, but like…fun
That would be the Top Gun movies.
Nah, Top Gun is an advertisement for people who play too much Warbirds. Battleship os an advertisement for people who play too much World of Warships.
I own that sheeit on Blu-ray. I’m also 43, so nostalgia plays no part.
“Do you know that girl…the burrito girl?”
Yes it’s bad, and yes it’s fun.
And yes, people like to film in Hawaii.
Mmm, delicious cheese.
