Battleship

When mankind beams a radio signal into space, a reply comes from ‘Planet G’, in the form of several alien crafts that splash down in the waters off Hawaii. Lieutenant Alex Hopper is a weapons officer assigned to the USS John Paul Jones, part of an international naval coalition which becomes the world's last hope for survival as they engage the hostile alien force of unimaginable strength. While taking on the invaders, Hopper must also try to live up to the potential that his brother, and his fiancée's father—an Admiral—expect of him.

Critics mostly rejected Battleship as loud, cliché-ridden, and saddled with terrible dialogue, frequently comparing it unfavorably to Michael Bay's Transformers series. The central divide was whether the film's sheer absurdity — adapting a board game into a naval alien-invasion epic — tips into guilty fun or unwatchable stupidity, with a small minority finding genuine wit and humility amid the wreckage.
