Anyone here seen "Battleship?"

[Archae]

Or plan to see it?

I'm really leery of this movie, due to three things:

It's based (really loosely based) on a board game.

It's being promoted up the yin-yang, ads, videogames, etc.

Outside of the big battles, it looks boring.

[ScreamingMeemie]

1. Yes, but for personal reasons.

One, a relative of mine worked on this movie. Two, Taylor Kitsch is worth paying the money even if the movie is meh. Big Tim Riggins forever!

2. I haven't seen it...

but I'd like to. I think it's gonna be good like the first Transformers was. Then again, I like popcorn action movies. I don't always see them in the theater, sometimes I wait for the dvd.

3. Nah. I'm waiting for this movie:

4. We plan to see it

Partly because it's big and explodey
but mostly because my wife seldom passes up a chance to watch Eric Northman (Alexander Skarsgård) work.

I'm really more psyched for Prometheus. And probably Men In Black.

8. One more vote for big and explodey.

[OriginalGeek]

10. Also

the theater we like has big leather chairs (probably pleather but that feel) and serves Yuengling on tap and has giant nachos that feed two people.

That plus big and explodey make for a fun night out even if the movie is silly. Big and explodey needs a bigger screen and better speakers than I have at home.

<--see? don't y'all wish that was on a bigger screen now?

14. Gotta see these kinds of movies on the big screen...

...about 10th row, center...close enough to where I have to turn my head to see who's talkin', know'm say'n?

5. Probably will just see Avengers again

I kinda want to see Avengers kick Avatar off the top blockbuster spot.

I like Taylor Kitsch's John Carter. I just think it was badly... very badly marketed.
Battleship, just looked dumb. Michael Bay dumb... So no, no plans unless it hits Netflix.

9. I liked John Carter, also. I think it was an exempler of good science fiction,

but that most people, including most critics, are unfamiliar with the conventions of the genre.

6. I did and I enjoyed it, but I am pretty good at suspending disbelief to enjoy these kinds of movies

The action scenes were very good.

11. SyFy just ran "American Warships"

this past weekend - seems like the same concept - battleship is the last hope against an alien invasion. When I saw it was on, I DVR'd it and saved myself the $10 for battleship on the big screen.

12. I only went to see it because Liam Neeson is in it.

I wish I'd saved my money.

[baldguy]

13. Just another Michael Bay movie.

Except it's without the Michael Bay.
