Battleship starts like Top Gun, morphs into Transformers and ultimately ends up somewhere in the neighborhood of Independence Day (minus Will Smith and that rousing presidential speech).

Like all those movies, director Peter Berg’s PG-13 Battleship, which opens Friday, remains enjoyable(ish) even though it’s packed with clichés, relatively bereft of three-dimensional characters, and loaded with dialog and circumstances that are laughably unbelievable.

When mankind beams a radio signal into space, a reply comes from ‘Planet G’, in the form of several alien crafts that splash down in the waters off Hawaii.

But here’s the central problem with critiquing an alien-invasion movie adapted from a classic board game: Its very existence defies belief. Any noted flaw can be met with, “Well, what did you expect?”

(Spoiler alert: Minor plot points follow.)

It’s hard to pinpoint exactly why Battleship fails. It’s got cool explosions, Rihanna, shape-shifting ships that move with the mechanical grace of any Autobot, and aliens dressed in Iron Man-cum-Master Chief body armor. But something about the movie definitely gives the impression that Berg — who helmed the movie Friday Night Lights and created the brilliant high school football television series based upon it — is following the Michael Bay playbook a little too closely with this one, even if Battleship is better than Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.

That’s a shame. Because as anyone who loved Friday Night Lights could tell you, Berg knows how to meld action and complex characters — a few of whom, like Taylor Kitsch and Jesse Plemons, the director brought to Battleship.

Maybe Battleship takes on water simply because, again, it’s an alien-invasion movie. Inspired by a naval strategy game.

The movie would probably be better if audiences would be allowed to forget that association. For one, Battleship’s plot would’ve been better without the nods to Hasbro’s game. Naval brothers Alex Hopper (Kitsch, who plays a loose-cannon lieutenant) and Stone Hopper (Alexander Skarsgård) find themselves in the middle of an extraterrestrial assault after Earth makes contact with another possibly inhabitable planet, whose denizens don’t like the message they receive and go looking for the sender.

That straightforward story gets thrown by the tie-ins to the game: The alien ships from Planet G attack using bombs that look like Battleship’s plastic pegs. Naval officers drink coffee and bark coordinates (you can play along at home!). And one of the strategies employed to battle the alien ships involves using the movement of NOAA buoys to find the crafts’ position in the water when radar fails. (Actually, hats off to screenwriters Erich Hoeber and Jon Hoeber for shoehorning that one in there.)

Forget those things, and you’ve got a flick that’s got more in common with Rock ‘Em Sock ‘Em Robots than with Battleship. Once the aliens invade, they form a force field around the Hawaiian islands, splitting up a group of ships running military exercises as part of an international alliance. The aliens’ all-encasing dome leaves Alex and Japanese captain Yugi Nagata (Tadanobu Asano, in a role 20,000 leagues from his turn as the baddest yakuza gangster ever in Ichi the Killer) manning a single remaining destroyer, the USS John Paul Jones, with a small crew that includes petty officer Cora Raikes (Rihanna) as their trusty missile-launcher.

Back on land, Hopper’s girlfriend Sam (Brooklyn Decker), a physical therapist and also the daughter of an admiral (Liam Neeson), miraculously finds herself on the only strategically valuable hillside on the islands while walking with a double-amputee. It’s valuable, you see, because it houses satellite transmitters — and the space invaders need them. Sam and war hero Lt. Col. Mick Canales (actual Iraq veteran Gregory D. Gadson) enlist the help of requisite-nerd/satellite-guy Cal (The Future’s Hamish Linklater, who naturally warned everyone that sending a message to Planet G was a bad idea all along).

From there, it’s a free-for-all of manning up and blowing up, interspersed with clichéd dialog — the best/worst being Hopper’s declaration, “We’re all gonna die, just not today” (has he been watching Game of Thrones?) and Cal’s inquisition, “You’re saying E.T. wants to phone home?” (which Linklater delivers as well as anyone could).

The tale ends in a way that we won’t spoil, but the resolution of the epic alien-human standoff should be fairly predictable to anyone who has ever seen a military-based action film.

And while the ending is a joyous romp of explosions and general heroics — don’t be surprised if there is clapping in the theater — it doesn’t make up for the fact the film has very little to buoy it above the rest of its ilk. Battleship doesn’t s(t)ink, but it relies too much on its big, bad boats to stay afloat.

WIRED Awesome transforming alien spacecraft. Things blowing up.

TIRED Cliched dialog. Predictable plot.

Plot[edit]

In 2006, the distant Gliese planetary system is discovered to have a potentially habitable planet and a communications array is built by NASA in Hawaii to send a transmission to contact any intelligent life. Meanwhile, Alex Hopper is arrested while attempting to impress Sam Shane. His brother, naval officer Stone, forces Alex to join the U.S. Navy in order to improve his life.

In 2012, Alex and Sam are in a relationship; Alex serves as a Tactical Actions Officer as a lieutenant aboard USS John Paul Jones while Stone is the commander aboard USS Sampson, but Alex is in danger of receiving a disciplinary discharge. During the 2012 RIMPAC exercise, five alien spacecraft arrive. Their communications ship collides with a satellite and crashes in Hong Kong while the other four land in the waters off Hawaii. Sampson, John Paul Jones, and their Japanese sister ship JDSMyōkō are ordered by Admiral Terrance Shane to investigate, and they discover a floating structure. When it is touched by Alex it generates a force field that encloses the Hawaiian Islands and separates the three ships from the RIMPAC fleet, and jams all radar and communication equipment in it. Three alien warships surface and in the ensuing engagement, the Sampson and Myōkō are both destroyed, resulting in Stone's death, while the command crew of John Paul Jones are killed. With Alex assuming command of the ship as the ranking officer, they recover the survivors from Myōkō including its commanding officer, Captain Yugi Nagata. The aliens also launch drones to attack Hawaii which cause heavy damage.

On Oahu, Sam is accompanying retired U.S. Armylieutenant colonel and double amputee Mick Canales on a mountain hike. After becoming aware of the aliens' presence, they encounter scientist Cal Zapata who informs them the aliens have taken over the communications array, and Mick determines that they are planning to use it to re-establish military communications with their home planet. Aboard John Paul Jones, naval personnel capture a semi-conscious alien. The alien forms a telepathic link with Alex, showing him their history of destroying worlds. Other aliens arrive and retrieve their comrade, but are prevented from sabotaging the ship. Examination of the captured alien's helmet reveals the aliens are sensitive to sunlight. Ashore, Sam, Nick and Zapata recover his spectrum analyzer from the aliens and they use it to radio John Paul Jones to inform them the aliens intend military telecommunication with their home planet in four hours.

As night falls Captain Nagata suggests to use National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's tsunami warning buoys around Hawaii to track the alien warships. This allows John Paul Jones to destroy two of them. At dawn, they lure the remaining warship eastwards as Alex and Nagata shoot out its bridge windows, blinding its crew and allowing John Paul Jones to destroy it, but John Paul Jones is subsequently sunk by alien drones.

The survivors return to Pearl Harbor and commandeer the previously decommissioned World War II battleshipUSS Missouri with the aid of the retired veterans preserving her, restoring her to battle readiness and confronting the floating structure, revealed to be a giant mothership. Missouri is able to severely damage the mothership and disable the force field, and Admiral Shane scrambles a flight of Royal Australian Air ForceBoeing F/A-18 fighter jets from aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan. Meanwhile, Sam, Mick and Cal attempt to stall the aliens at the communications array. As the mothership rallies against Missouri, Alex uses their last shell to destroy the communications array. All hope is lost for Missouri and those aboard until the Australian fighter jets arrive in time and destroy the mothership, saving Missouri and eliminating the alien threat.

A ceremony is held to honor the military personnel, where Alex is promoted to lieutenant commander and presented with both a Silver Star and his brother's posthumous Navy Cross. After the ceremony, Alex asks Sam's father Admiral Shane for her hand in marriage. The admiral refuses, but shortly after, referencing how Alex and Sam met, invites Alex to lunch to discuss the matter.

In a post-credits scene, three teenagers and a handyman in Scotland discover a crashed alien pod. When they open it, an alien hand reaches out, and they run off in terror.

Production[edit]

Battleship was to begin filming in Australia's Gold Coast in 2010, but the production company changed location due to a lack of Australian government tax incentives and a high estimated budget of $220 million.^[4]

Filming took place in the United States on the Hawaiian islands of Maui and Oahu, as well as in Sherman Oaks, California to do a few apartment scenes and in Playa del Rey, California where they filmed a driving scene along with a shootout.^[5] Further filming was done on USS Missouri.^[6] Some scenes were also filmed in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.^[7]

The Science & Entertainment Exchange provided science consultation for the film.^[8]

A Kongō-class destroyer of the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force also appeared in the film.^[9]

Casting[edit]

Jeremy Renner was originally considered for the role of Hopper, but the actor chose to star in a Paul Thomas Anderson drama filming at roughly the same time.^[10][11] In April 2010, it was reported that Taylor Kitsch had been cast as Alex Hopper,^[11][12] Alexander Skarsgård played his brother Stone Hopper, Brooklyn Decker stars as Sam, Hopper's fiancee and Liam Neeson as Admiral Shane, Sam's father and Hopper's superior officer.^[13][14] Barbadian R&B singer Rihanna makes her acting debut in the film, as a sailor.^[15] In an interview with GQ, Berg explained how he came up with the idea to cast her. He realized she could act after her appearance on Saturday Night Live.^[16] She accepted the role because she wanted 'to do something badass' and also because it wasn't a role too big for her to play.^[17]Tadanobu Asano also has a role in the film as the commander of a Japanese Kongō-class destroyer. Double amputee U.S. Army ColonelGregory Gadson, who had never acted before, plays LTC Mick Canales.^[18] He was cast after Berg saw a picture of him in the National Geographic Magazine.^[19]

The film marks the reunion between former co-stars Kitsch and Jesse Plemons, who previously worked together on Berg's TV series Friday Night Lights. Berg said he loves working with friends and explained he knew how comfortable Kitsch was with Plemons, 'I know that he’s really good for Taylor and he makes Taylor better. So, I wrote that whole part for Jesse.' He added, 'I never thought of it as a Friday Night Lights reunion. I thought of it as protection, bringing a trusted family member in.'^[20]

U.S. Navy sailors were used as extras in various parts of this film. Sailors from assorted commands in Navy Region Hawaii assisted with line handling to take Missouri in and out of port for a day of shooting in mid 2010. A few months later, the production team put out a casting call for sailors stationed at various sea commands at Naval Station Mayport, Florida to serve as extras.^[21] Sailors were also taken from various ships stationed at Naval Station Mayport, Jacksonville, Florida: USS Hué City, USS Carney and USS Vicksburg were some of the ships that provided sailors.^[22]

Music[edit]

Due to his success with the Transformers franchise, composer Steve Jablonsky was chosen to score the official soundtrack. The soundtrack features original compositions from Jablonsky and features rock guitarist Tom Morello from Rage Against The Machine. Director Peter Berg stated:

Working with composers often is a really frustrating experience because you speak a different language and, oftentimes, they take two or three jobs, at the same time. They're difficult and pretentious and they're tormented artists. I'm not going to name names, but most of them are. One guy who isn't is Hans Zimmer, who taught Steve Jablonsky. We had a couple of meetings and I came up with this idea. The day I met with him, I had had an MRI for my neck, and they make that really scary sound. I was like, 'I just had this MRI, and when I was in there, I was thinking about the aliens, and it was really scary.' And he was like, 'Oh, that's awesome!' He went and recorded MRIs and made music out of MRIs, and that's the theme of the aliens in our film. He is no drama, and just goes and gets it done. The score is big and awesome and scary and driving. At times, it's very simple and acoustic and touching and emotional. He's the best I've ever worked with.^[23]

Release[edit]

The film was originally planned to be released in 2011, but was rescheduled to May 18, 2012, in the United States.^[24] The film's world premiere took place in Tokyo on April 3, 2012. The event was attended by director Peter Berg, actors Taylor Kitsch, Brooklyn Decker, Alexander Skarsgård and Rihanna. Later on they initiated a Press Tour visiting Madrid, London and Cartagena de Indias to promote the film.

Box office[edit]

The film earned $303,025,485, and only $65,422,625 in North America. With a budget of $220 million the film did not meet its expectations.^[25]

The film opened outside North America on Wednesday, April 11, 2012, more than five weeks before its North America release, earning $7.4 million.^[26] Through Friday, April 13, the film had earned a 3-day total of $25 million.^[27] By the end of its opening weekend, it earned $55.2 million from 26 markets, ranking second behind the 3D re-release of Titanic.^[28]

However, on its second weekend, it topped the box office outside North America, with $60 million.^[29] In South Korea, it achieved the highest-grossing opening day for a non-sequel and the third-highest overall ($2.8 million).^[27] In comparison to other Hasbro films, Battleship's opening in the UK (£3.76 million) was behind the first Transformers (£8.72 million), but did better than G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra (£1.71 million).^[30]

In North America, Battleship grossed $8.8 million on its opening day (Friday, May 18, 2012), with $420,000 originating from midnight showings,^[31] and finished the weekend with $25.5 million. It settled in second place for its opening day and opening weekend behind Marvel's The Avengers.^[32][33][34]

Critical reception[edit]

Metacritic has given the film an average score of 39 out of 100 based on 39 reviews meaning 'mixed or average reviews'.^[35]Rotten Tomatoes gives the film a score of 32% based on reviews from 217 critics, with a rating average of 4.6/10. The site's consensus reads: 'It may offer energetic escapism for less demanding filmgoers, but Battleship is too loud, poorly written, and formulaic to justify its expense -- and a lot less fun than its source material.'^[36]

Megan Lehmann of The Hollywood Reporter thought that the 'impressive visual effects and director Peter Berg's epic set pieces fight against an armada of cinematic clichés and some truly awful dialogue.'^[37]Empire magazine's Nick de Semlyen felt there was a lack of character development and memorable action shots, and sums up his review of the movie in one word: 'Miss.'^[38]

Introduction to business communication skills pdf. Many reviews criticised the 'based on a board game' concept driving the film, although some, such as Jason Di Rosso from the Australian Broadcasting Corporation's Radio National, claimed the ridiculousness of the setup is 'either sheer joy or pure hell – depending on how seriously you take it', while de Semlyen 'had to admire [the film's creators] jumping through hoops to engineer a sequence that replicates the board game.'^[38][39][40] Several compared the film to Michael Bay's Transformers film series in terms of quality and cinematic style, with Giles Hardie of The Sydney Morning Herald claiming that the movie 'finds the same balance between action-packed imagination and not taking the premise seriously that made Michael Bay's original Transformers such a joyride.'^[37][39] Andrew Harrison of Q magazine called the film 'crushingly stupid'.^[41] Film critic Kenneth Turan, in a review written for the Los Angeles Times, also expressed disappointment, criticizing the film's 'humanoid aliens', stating that they are 'as ungainly as the movie itself, clunking around in awkward, protective suits.' He called the content 'all very earnest', but added 'it's not a whole lot of fun'.^[42]Peter Travers of Rolling Stone gave the film one out of four stars, and he comment 'Battleship is all noise and crashing metal, sinking to the shallows of Michael Bay's Armageddon and then digging to the brain-extinction level of the Transformers trilogy.'

Other critics were less harsh for Battleship: Writing for Time, Steven James Snyder was somewhat positive because he had low expectations of the film. He wrote, 'The creative team behind this ocean-bound thriller decided to fill the narrative black hole with a few ingredients all but absent from today’s summer tent poles – namely mystery, nostalgia and a healthy dose of humility' and described it as 'an unlikely mix of Independence Day, Pearl Harbor, Jurassic Park and The Hunt for Red October'.^[43] Giving it a C+ grade, Lisa Schwarzbaum of Entertainment Weekly said, 'For every line of howler dialogue that should have been sunk, there's a nice little scene in which humans have to make a difficult decision. For every stretch of generic sci-fi-via-CGI moviemaking, there's a welcome bit of wit.'^[44]The Washington Post gave the film a three-star rating out of four commenting it is 'an invigorating blast of cinematic adrenaline'.^[45]Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times gave the film 2 stars out of 4, praising the climax as 'an honest-to-God third act, instead of just settling for nonstop fireballs and explosions, as Bay likes to do. I don't want to spoil it for you. Let's say the Greatest Generation still has the right stuff and leave it at that.'^[46]

Accolades[edit]

Home media[edit]

Battleship was released on DVD and Blu-ray disc on August 20, 2012 in the United Kingdom,^[55] and on August 28 in the United States and Canada.^[56] Its revenue was $32.4 million. Battleship was released on 4K Blu-Ray on January 17, 2017.^[57]
