Battleship Review...Light Spoilers
Okay, it's not really a review. It's more like a few random thoughts thrown together without organization because we all enjoy reading those.
1. Really liked it.
2. The destruction and "blow crap up" mentality got to be a bit much, but I expected that with it being a military-alien confrontation movie.
3. Was pleased with the characterization of several of the characters, especially that of Mike, the Army veteran who ends up proving to himself that, even with no legs, he still has value as a soldier.
4. I loved the cinematography toward the end with the aliens and light. You'll know what I mean when you get there.
5. Was particularly taken with the rolly-ball things as a method of inflicting chaos and destruction.
6. Rihanna ended up being a good actress...had my doubts.
7. Glad to see Aleksander Skarsgard getting work outside of True Blood.
8. Enjoyed what little bit of Hawaiian scenery there was. I was married on Oahu and lived in Ewa Beach for a couple of years after I got married. My husband was in the Navy stationed at Barber's Point which is now closed. I'll have to Mapquest Saddle Ridge which I've never heard of to see where it is on Oahu.
Overall, I would highly recommend as long as you know what to expect.
