An American science fiction directed by Peter Berg, starring Alexander Skarsgard, Tadanobu Asano and Liam Neeson.
A signal is sent into space and hostile aliens arrive on Earth. A NAVY guy leads his crew to fight them.
Let's start with similarities to the game: The alien bombs were shaped like pegs and there was a few minute section of trying to guess the location of enemy ships. This is in a 2 hour duration. Great job on making a movie out of the game. It was hokey and cheesy, the writing sucked and the dialogue was trite and predictable. The soundtrack had way too much AC/DC for my taste and the plot was really choppy. The CG was obvious like being slapped in the face with it. It all looked so fake that I can't tell which images are screenshots and which are promotional ad images. Does it matter? What a piece of shit. If I were making a movie from the game, it would be dogma 95 and have 2 people in a room playing the game. They would be involved in some sort of intense conversation while doing so and why they were playing Battleship would never be mentioned. I'm seeing Steve Buscemi and Tilda Swinton directed by Jim Jarmusch. That's the only way I think it would work. I rate this movie shit. DO NOT WATCH!
An American action comedy directed by Peter Berg, starring The Rock, Sean William Scott and Christopher Walken with a quick cameo by Arnold Schwarzenegger.A bounty hunter/professional kidnapper goes to Brazil to retrieve a man's son who has located a priceless artifact. The mining boss there is looking for this item as well as the local rebels who want the item too.This film demonstrates what I hate about new movies every second of it's duration. The adderall camera-work, the absurdly stupid comedy, the constant conflict... the list goes on. If you want to know what I hate about new, big budget films, watch this. I'm rating it bad. The shit rating is reserved for films that are uniquely horrible, so this doesn't get that honor.
A black comedy directed by Peter Berg, starring Christian Slater and Cameron Diaz.A group of friends celebrate a bachelor party in Las Vegas. They are having fun until one of them accidentally kills the stripper/prostitute.This is one of the films that is mentioned when people talk about crazy and good movies. The plot, characters and production value are absolutely great. The film really comes off as unique and has it's own "flavor". The violence is not over-done and most of the tension is created through the plot. This is another film with mostly upset characters. Apparently, conflict (supposedly essential to plot) must be between the characters themselves. There are many types of conflict:Character vs. Character (shown here)Character vs. Self (shown here)Character vs. NatureCharacter vs. SocietyCharacter vs. SupernaturalCharacter vs. TechnologyCharacter vs. DestinyI would really like to see some variety in this plot element, given the wide range of choices. However, a good film is a good film and I'm rating this awesome.
