Battleship

You sank my battleship!

It's "Transformers" at sea meets "Contact" meets "E.T." meets "Pearl Harbor" meets a modern day "Master and Commander" in a "War of the Worlds". A "Friday Night Lights" trio, a rock star, a fashion model, and a big bang geek play Hasbro's classic blind war game against all odds as they are out gunned by Borg/Robocop aliens from Planet G. A reluctant hero must pull out all the stops and go old school to save the world. This action-packed thrill ride is filled with big time explosions, an underdog spirit, and cheesy lines. It's a mindless shoot 'em up fun time that could be a naval recruitment film and a patriotic tribute to war veterans. Stay to the end of the credits for one last scene as 3 boys and a man make a discovery. Shout "light 'em up" and "you can do it", then run down to your local toy store for Hasbro's updated Aliens vs. Battleships Game.

Alien gives it 3 "Goldilock Planet" stars out of 4.
