Battleship

[superhero]

I must have strange taste, I curiously want to see Battleship...

[TheyCallMeMrGlass]

I saw the trailer for this last night when watching Hunger Games, it looked rather good!

Edit: this was what I saw...destruction, yeah!

Yes, it looks a good all round action film - with aliens, from the looks of it.
Hopefully there'll be some free screenings.

Following on from winning tickets via Capital FM to the preview of Battleship last night

Firstly the secret location turned out to be Screen 1 Haymarket. Watched film in a packed screen along with Taylor Hirsch, Rihanna, Peter Berg and Brooklyn Decker. They were all introduced to us and all said a few words. Peter Berg when asked why do Battleship said words to the effect that "there's a 12 year old inside all of us"

I wont spoil the film for anyone but the trailer does do it justice....and more !! FX are great, high budget no expense spared. Taylor Hirsch plays the role a la Matt Damon / Mark Whalberg but gives a strong performance. Rihanna is OK but the role wouldnt stretch any actress but as an introduction the big screen she does well....The story gives touches of comedy, a love story, action and even I think some unintentional humour and I thought it was an excellent and very clever interpretation of the Battleship game

I am not normally a fan of these type of films but had a great night 9/10

Can't say if I agree or not with that for a few weeks.

Where did I get Hirsch from !! Must be going mad !!

Ha ha, well they are both German words.

Forgot to mention we were also given a couple of complimentary promo items - a Battleship cap and a "water proof capsule" emblazoned with the Battleship logo....Ideal apparently for protecting Ipods / MP3s / Mobiles in the water !! Oh and a complimentary can of Coke Zero !

Thanks for your review Dan, I look forward to this. I expect it to be mindless fun.
