Battleship- I Bit the Bullet for You All

You'll see a ton of people you recognize in this one, but don't be tempted. They may have spent $200 million dollars on this piece of shit, but that only bought some cool CGI. This is just a ton a CGI and garbage thrown together. It just epitomizes every cliche' ever used in an action film. A bunch of shitty one-liners after killing stuff. Attempt at drama and sadness which completely misses. A useless love story that's just pathetic and contrived. A "bad-boy" turned hero. It's just never-ending. Peter Berg is done directing I have a feeling. The story follows "Harper" and his journey from loser to national hero. He's in the Navy because his brother is a C.O. in the Navy and he gets him in despite the fact he's a huge fuck-up and a felon. We make alien contact with a planet similar to Earth and they send back an expeditionary force. Somehow it coincides perfectly with Naval training exercises with Japan, YEAH, THE GUYS FROM PEARL HARBOR! It's all fucked up, don't waste your time. Bottom line: 3.3 out of 10. All flash, no substance. Amazing CGI, lots of people you'll recognize, but just a garbage plot & writing doom it from the moment it starts.
