Battleship (Two-Disc Combo Pack: Blu-ray + DVD + Digital Copy + UltraViolet) (2012)

No one can deny that these film makers put their money on the screen. The CGI effects were eye-popping and many of the on-location physical sets were amazing, such as the scene when they first contact the alien vessel at sea. The stunt work was also impressive. As so many others have noted, please leave your brain at the door and simply enjoy it for what it is. That said, I did admire the writers for coming up with a refreshing take on the Aliens. In so may other films they are portrayed as slimy, insect-like monstrosities but these aliens are somewhat human-like and they exhibited qualities that defy the norm, such as their rescue mission to retrieve one of their crew members captured by the humans. Also, they were not mindlessly violent, such as the when the scientist encounters one is the communications shed - it lets him leave unharmed? I didn't see that coming. I also liked the fact that the film makers found a role for some disabled and retired veterans.

I don't care what people say I watch a  movie to be entertained not to see if I'm seeing the new gone with the wind! I was entertained so I like it.
