Ok, so before I say anything, let me just start off by saying, I did not have high hopes for this movie. It looked terrible, the premise was cheesy, and it had bad reviews before its public release. That being said, a few cheerful reviews on fandango convinced me it would be better than seeing a snowwhite remake or The Avengers for the 4th time.
Boy was I wrong. :Y
This movie was so much fun, I actually might have enjoyed it more than the Avengers. Of course, it wasn't the well written, bit of perfection that the Avengers was, but with what I was expecting, it was amazing. If you see this movie with the objective opinion that it will have some silly references to the game, and know it is not a serious movie, you can't help being wowed. This movie was an action packed, surprisingly hilarious, Military/Sci-fi thriller. Besides being all of that, the game references actually became just fun to spot. Sometimes blatantly obvious, and sometimes so subtle that you will kick yourself because you missed them. In addition, being done by the same people as Transformers, its visuals were superb, (aside from the CGI horse here and there that makes me think Lucas sneezed on a script). And like I mentioned before, though this is primarily a Navy movie, if you are a Military buff like I am, this movei will definitely satisfy, despite some inaccuracies. The acting is also decent.
The major points of this movie I liked:
Epic focus of the US and other nations' militarys.
Good Music.
Superb CGI.
decent, though predictable plot.
Great ending.
Mostly clean. (a couple m-f- insinuations, but nothing else too serious, and they were used solely for humor)
Glorification of veterans and wounded soldiers.
Good acting.
Great ending:
For those of you that are into BSG, there is an added bonus I can't help but think was on purpose. You will just have to watch because I know you will read a spoiler If I put it in. I just know none of you could help yourselves. Just think Galactica towards the end of the movie and be sure to check callsigns when they show the fighter pilot's helmet. Hopefully that doesn't spoil it for anyone.
So, If you are tired of watching The Avengers, or were disappointed by MIB3(like I was) and want to watch a real Sci-Fi action movie for Military Buffs(TF, HK that means you ), I highly recommend you go see Battleship. You will not be let down.
Oh, and btw, make sure you stay after credits.

I for one was very glad that there is finally a movie where the good guys won and the aliens wern't super powerful beings we couldn't hope to defeat. Nobody you really liked died, and the guy gets the girl. Evil loses, and if you stayed after credits you probably know there is a sequel coming too.
