Aliens, big guns and AC/DC... what's not to like?

If your the sort of person who can't help asking "But why didn't they do this, or that" after a film, don't watch it! There are plot holes all the way through it that are large enough to, er, sink a battleship.......

Yes, this is true. Not quite as big as the ones in Independence Day, but pretty darn big for sure.

Not 'bad' as such, but the Inbetweeners 2. Distinctly average compared to the series and first film.

[DamienB]

Which links me nicely to Pyramid, which I award one point to for the bad guy / evil monster thing, but if you stop to think for even a split second about how everybody behaves, the layout of the the pyramid and the various perilous situations they end up in while being offed one by one in traditional people-in-the-dark-being-slaughtered stylee... well it's just total bobbins. And the ending is utter gash.

The Inbetweeners link is that Jay is the camera man in Pyramid. Tries hard not to be Jay, to be fair.

Hmm, I recorded Battleship - not worth watching then?

Only if you want to see Rihanna handbrake turn a 1940's Aircraft Carrier.

Would that not qualify as assume as awesome?

Well if Rihanna was thrown off a 1940's Aircraft Carrier - now that would be awesome...

[james_tigerwoods]

I watched the whole film - it was good in an "Under Siege" kind of way.

I overlooked the plot holes, bad acting and much "eh, what" moments and enjoyed it for what it was.

Rihanna though. That was level 20 bad acting though. Truly awful.

The mrs was away all weekend so watched quite a lot of TV!. All wheeler dealers trading up, 6 episodes of series 11 too. Film wise, sinister, x men days of future past , undisputed 2 oh and why I posted here the Babadook . It was like a tim burton film gone wrong, supposed to be terrifying . Pffftt. Sinister was quite good though and I love wheeler dealers lol.

I watched Battleship on Saturday and enjoyed it, what was not to like, it had ships, planes, guns and Brooklyn Decker.

[james_tigerwoods]

Battleship. I have to ask. I've been straining to NOT ask.

Overlooking all the other nonsense in the film - How did they get through the Alien's shield?

I think they just happened to be inside it when it was switched on.

Yes, but after their ship sank, suddenly they're heading towards the Missouri and on the other side of it.

I'm trying so hard to not ask any other questions about the film because, well, I'd open some serious floodgates.

I've just remembered I fell asleep watching GI Joe: Retaliation on Saturday night. Completely charmless.


Movie wasn't up to much either…

Yes, best not to. Otherwise you'll be asking how a steam-powered battleship can raise steam in a matter of minutes (instead of hours and hours), how it can fight with a handful of crew (usual ships complement is just under 2000 people), and why it is still carrying ordnance and coal despite being decommissioned.

Not to mention the anchor pulling the ship round, that they knew exactly where to place their sniper rounds, that the carried that giant shell from one end of the ship to the other (and the weight of it was wrong), that I would have sworn blind that the Admiral was actually Liam Neeson, that any sane football captain would have overruled the guy that got kicked in the face....

A single anchor chain being able to stop a 45,000 ton battleship without breaking, and then the battleship doing a 'drift' as its pulled around!

I loved it - totally stupid, but it did make me laugh...

The Smoke.
A dire cockneyesque gangster film
