The quest of human to explore the universe is age old and to find out someone like us always remained a platform for debates and discussion. Based on a naval war Video game by Hasbro (The same company which had developed Transformers Game Series) Battleship explores the possibility of communication with the extraterrestrial living beings through the power of our technology. In 2005 Scientists discovered a planet seems similar to earth environment and to reach out the same they developed a satellite which can amplify the powerful signals sent from Earth five times higher & transmit it further to the space; they named it as The Beacon Project. Luckily to their Bad Luck the signals got responded and suddenly the world noticed the biggest nightmare of their Life- UFOs and Uncalled War on Earth

Peter Berg -the director has done a reasonably good job by putting some nice humor punches throughout the movie and keeps the momentum of the excitement high right from beginning to the end. It’s a 132 minutes thriller which keeps you smile, thrilled and Proud too with some clapping moments. Thou the script of the movie did require proper polishing which felt missing at times. Also its commendable that director didn’t mixed up Transformers with Battleship; as the former just talked about Machines and later despite focusing on huge powerful machines talked about love, Pride, Courage and Aliens of course.

Despite the many ups the disappointing part was the individual performances of the main leads especially Rihanna . Taylor was decent and Brooklyn Decker looks hot. The movie has few but noticeable characters especially Gregory D. Gadson as Lieutenant Colonel Mick Canales. Cinematography by Tobias A. Schliessler is superb and background music by Steve Jablonsky keeps you Haunting.

There are several moments like the strategy of putting down the anchor and hits the bull eye, or the crashing of a building in Hong kong, appearing of the alien Ship out of the sea or the creation of the massive force field in the sea, the newly funny but deadly weapons, breaking of huge ships(esp. John Paul John) into pieces  where you will like to have more Popcorns…Enjoy ;)
