Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe veterans of the U.S.S. Missouri that Stone Hopper mentions are real life vets of the U.S.S. Missouri. Some served in World War II.
- GoofsWhen the full reverse command was given, an underwater view showed the propellers reversing their rotation. Arleigh Burke destroyers utilize reversible pitch propellers and therefore do not change their rotational direction during reversing maneuvers, they simply change the pitch of the blades to provide reversing thrust.
- Quotes
[after Hopper's tactic destroys the alien ship]
Captain Yugi Nagata: I can't believe that worked!
Alex Hopper: Yeah, Art of War, "fight the enemy where they aren't." After all these years, that finally just clicked.
Captain Yugi Nagata: But that's not what it means.
Alex Hopper: ...Really?
Captain Yugi Nagata: Not even close.

Featured review
C'mon man, this movie is cooler than you think it is.
People being so hard on this movie.
It's fun!
It boasts some very funny dialog and performances, and the visuals are outstanding.
Battleship delivers popcorn Sci-Fi on a big scale and it's not asking anymore of you than to just enjoy giant spaceships in the water, and the thrust of those explosions.
Don't like plot holes and gaps in the science? That's where the Fi part comes in.
Every movie (dramas included) has plot holes and unrealistic scenarios.
That's what makes an entertaining 2 hours.
Otherwise we're just watching the daily real life of microwaving soup, stopping at red lights, and charging cell phones.
Thrilling.
Granted, maybe casting non-actors wasn't such a great idea, and some of the dialog in the climax really brings it down. But it ruins nothing.
If you que this movie up when you're actually in the mood for a thought provoking indie film, where folks stand around looking out rainy windows for hours, and stare into a steamy cup of chai slowly discussing (in painstaking detail) their plans to move across the country, then that's your own fault.
It absolutely delivers on what it promises.
