A woman wears a low-cut tank top that reveals cleavage and the fabric is sheer enough to reveal her bra underneath. A woman on a TV news broadcast wears a low-cut dress that reveals cleavage. A woman wears a low-cut dress that reveals cleavage. An alien he looks like a human wearing an armored suit and helmet approaches a police vehicle and punches the window out; we later see the vehicle tipped over and twisted with the bodies of the officers pinned under the wreckage we see blood on one man.
An alien with weapons on his hands chases a sailor through a ship and prepares to hit the sailor when the alien is shot in the face by a huge gun; he is blown to pieces. Armed sailors search a ship for aliens, and one sailor is grabbed and thrown into a wall he's OK.
An alien pushes a bolted door open and approaches a sailor, the sailor hits the alien with a metal pipe, and the alien picks the sailor up and throws him into a wall. A sailor shoots an alien repeatedly, and the alien hits her in the face repeatedly we see her bloody mouth and she continues to shoot him.
Explosives are shot from an alien vessel, and they hit a naval vessel and explode we see flames and people on board being thrown. A navy jet crashes into a force field and breaks up on contact. A naval vessel fires at an alien vessel, many explosives are launched toward the naval vessel, they pierce the hull and explode causing people to be thrown and water to flood into the ship; the ship is peppered with explosives and blows to bits presumably no survivors.
A naval vessel is struck by numerous explosives, we see sailors jumping overboard and the ship lists and sinks; two men climb to the back of the ship and we see the huge propellers spinning out of the water as they prepare to jump off.
A ship is struck by explosives and the front end blows up. A spinning bladed weapon crashes to the ground and tears up the supports under a highway causing the road to collapse and cars to fall off and into the opening we see people running and screaming. Missiles are fired toward alien vessels and they strike their targets we see explosions in the distance. Missiles are fired into a mountain and there are several explosions.
A man is chased by police, he is tasered in the back, he falls to the ground, crawls a few feet, and he is tasered again; we see him thrash and twitch.
Two men pull a helmet off a dead alien we see eyes, nose and what looks like a fleshy beard ; the alien gasps when one man opens his eye and he grabs the man's face, and other aliens break into the room and take the wounded alien away in a flying vessel. A car speeds over a hill and crashes into a communications array the driver's leg is pinned.
This could be like Columbus and the Indians , a nerdy radio astronomer worries… except we're the Indians. From a powerful transmission facility in Hawaii, he's supervised the transmission of a signal to the Earth-like Planet G in another galaxy, and in no time at all, aliens come calling.
Considering that they arrive in weeks, they must have discovered faster-than-light speeds, so it's a little strange that when they arrive they're strictly analog. Their vast warships splash down in the Pacific except for fragments that devastate Hong Kong in one of those toppling skyscraper scenes so beloved in disaster movies.
But these alien crafts are only armed at a level that makes their battle with U. Why would the U. It's involved in war games with allies such as Japan, which provides an excuse for a Japanese officer to take temporary command of one of our ships and thus boost the grosses of Battleship in Asia. It's also handy that the aliens create a force field that forms an impenetrable barrier around their craft, which seals in three U.
Of course, in the old B-movie tradition, our response to the alien visit is immediately military. There's not one word of discussion about the aliens possibly just making a social call. We invite them, they come and we open fire. This, despite the fact that they're remarkably humanoid. When we finally remove the helmet from one alien's spacesuit, he turns out to look alarmingly like James Carville.
In the set-up, we meet a shiftless beach bum named Alex Hopper Taylor Kitsch , whose brother Stone Alexander Skarsgard is a naval officer.
In a bar, Alex hits on the lithesome Samantha Shane Brooklyn Decker , who wouldn't you know is the daughter of the admiral of the fleet Liam Neeson. Like E. Their intent is to exterminate the natives and bring in the rest of their clan.
Part of their weaponry includes huge, whirling robotic balls that can chew through the metal hull of a ship like a teenage boy through a bowl of breakfast cereal. A wall of ammunition launching devices cover the side of their spaceship and hurl drum-like containers of explosives that rip apart boats and buildings.
In the face of this, audiences are asked to believe that a few humans, with some military missiles and a couple of short-range guns on a decommissioned battleship, can annihilate the intruders. Alex Hopper is the real problem. Of necessity the military prides itself on discipline. However, Alex continually goes off half-cocked, getting into scraps with fellow and foreign officers and making decisions that threaten the safety of other soldiers.
While the glamorization of his disorderly conduct might be okay in the pretend world of movie war, it would no doubt cost lives on the real battlefront. Violence: Alien attacks result in huge explosions that destroy ships, roadways, buildings, a military base and much of a downtown area.
It also causes thousands of deaths and injuries. Numerous bloody wounds and dead bodies are seen. Soldiers return fire, resulting in more explosions. Aliens make threatening gestures to children and adult characters. A character breaks into a business and is later shot repeatedly with a Taser injuries are shown. A man is kicked in the face during a soccer game.
Characters engage in hand-to-hand combat.
