Subtitle — Battleship
The story follows a fleet of international naval ships that encounter an alien armada during a training exercise off the coast of Hawaii. What follows is a series of massive maritime battles that cleverly (if somewhat absurdly) incorporate mechanics from the original Hasbro board game—such as using sonar buoys to create a "grid" for blind firing. Critics from Common Sense Media note that while the script lacks originality, it makes up for it with spectacular special effects and high-stakes action. The Battleship Review - Naval Gazing
The 2012 film Battleship is the quintessential "popcorn flick"—a loud, visually stunning sci-fi spectacle that doesn't ask much of its audience beyond sitting back and watching things blow up. While it leans heavily on genre clichés, it manages to be a fun, unpretentious ride for those in the mood for pure action.
