Battleship 2012


     Based on Milton Bradley’s popular strategic board game.  Scientists have discovered a planet in G Galaxy that may contain life.  An array of NASA transmitters are constructed in Hawaii to send a signal to a satellite far out in space and bounce it to this planet.  Unexpectedly, alien ships enter Earth’s atmosphere in response to the signal and a communications unit destroys part of Tokyo.  The remaining ships land in Pearl Harbor.  This has not gone at all as planned.  A US Naval operation being held in this area is divided into two sections by a force field and one side of our Navy goes to war against the alien ships.
     No acting awards here but explosions every other minute!!  I did like the alien wheel machines with red lights that are sent out to destroy everything in their path.  There are so many errors in this film listed on imdb for characters, continuity, geography and facts.  3* (This movie is OK)

132 min, Action directed by Peter Berg with Taylor Kitsch, Alexander Skarsgard, Liam Neeson, Rihanna, Brooklyn Decker, Tadanobu Asano.

Note:  Blockbuster 3 ½*, imdb 6.0, 33% critic 54% audience on Rotten Tomatoes.
