Screen congestion and a desire to avoid releasing films when
millions of people are likely to be watching the European Football
Championships or the 2012 Olympics means that Battleship is actually only about
2.5 weeks away from release for much of the world, hence the stepping up of
promo work for the film.
It’s a curious one. When making a “daft” film does putting
as much “real” information in it as possible make things better or worse? I
mean the idea that these ships couldn’t / wouldn’t be sunk within minutes of
their encounter with the space ships seems ridiculous in and of itself, as does
much else, but then that doesn’t mean the film can’t be a hell of a lot of fun
does it? Divorce, if you can, the fact that it seems silly to 1.) Make a film
based on the board game Battleship at all; 2.) Having decided to make said
film, make it abbot naval battles between Human and Alien groups at sea, and
what we have is a film that looks like it could be cool, action packed popcorn
fun. It still looks and sounds way to much like Transformers (The look and
sound of the Alien machines that is) . But I guess it does deserve to be taken
on its own merits; even if thes So Random sketches do some up many feelings
about his movie...
More toys become films?
You want that Strawberry Shortbread movie! Admit it!
Synopsis...
“Peter Berg (Hancock) produces and directs Battleship, an
epic-scaled action-adventure that unfolds across the seas, in the skies and over
land as our planet fights for survival against a superior force. Inspired by
Hasbro's classic naval combat game, Battleship stars Taylor Kitsch as Lt. Alex
Hopper, a Naval officer assigned to the USS John Paul Jones; Brooklyn Decker as
Sam Shane, a physical therapist and Hopper's fiancée; Alexander Skarsgard as
Hopper's older brother, Stone, Commanding Officer of the USS Sampson; Rihanna
as Petty Officer Raikes, Hopper's crewmate and a weapons specialist on the USS
John Paul Jones; and international superstar Liam Neeson as Hopper and Stone's
superior (and Sam's father), Admiral Shane.”
