During the training exercise five alien spacecraft arrive in response to the NASA signal. Their communications ship crashes in [[Hong Kong]] due to an impact with a satellite along the way, while four others land in the water near Hawaii. ''Sampson'', ''John Paul Jones'', and the [[Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force|JMSDF]] [[Kongo class destroyer]] ''[[JDS Myōkō (DDG-175)|Myōkō]]'' investigate, but are trapped when one of the ships erects a [[force shield|force field]] around the Hawaiian islands. After shots are fired the aliens destroy ''Sampson'' and ''Myōkō'', and damage ''John Paul Jones'' killing the commanding and executive officers.

He recovers survivors from ''Myōkō'', including Captain Nagata who suggests using the [[tsunami warning system|tsunami warning buoys]] around Hawaii to track the aliens. During a night battle, the aliens and the humans exchange shots in a manner reminiscent of the "Battleship" board game. The ''John Paul Jones'' sinks two alien ships but is unable to hit the third. Alex had learnt that the aliens were sensitive to sunlight after they captured one and decides to lure the third alien vessel close to shore, where he and Nagata shoot out its bridge windows at sunrise blinding the aliens. In the ensuing battle both ships are destroyed.

Battleship is a 2012 American alien invasion science fiction naval war film inspired by the classic board game. The film was directed by Peter Berg and released by Universal Pictures. The film stars Taylor Kitsch, Liam Neeson, Alexander Skarsgård, Rihanna, Brooklyn Decker, and Tadanobu Asano.

The film was originally planned to be released in 2011, but was rescheduled to April 11, 2012 in the United Kingdom and May 18, 2012 in the United States.[3] The film's world premiere was in Tokyo, Japan on April 3, 2012.

Plot

In 2005, NASA discovers an extrasolar planet with conditions similar to Earth and transmits a powerful signal from a communications array in Hawaii. Meanwhile slacker Alex Hopper gets arrested while attempting to impress Samantha Shane, daughter of United States Pacific Fleet commander Admiral Terrance Shane. Stone Hopper, Alex's older brother and a Commander under Terrance, is infuriated at Alex's lack of motivation and forces Alex to join him in the United States Navy. By 2012, Alex is a lieutenant aboard the Arleigh Burke class destroyer USS John Paul Jones, while Stone is the commanding officer of USS Sampson. Alex is in a relationship with Samantha and due to disciplinary problems is in danger of being discharged from the navy. Their ships, along with others from around the world, are taking part in RIMPAC naval exercises in Hawaii.

During the training exercise five alien spacecraft arrive in response to the NASA signal. Their communications ship crashes in Hong Kong due to an impact with a satellite along the way, while four others land in the water near Hawaii. Sampson, John Paul Jones, and the JMSDF Kongo class destroyer Myōkō investigate, but are trapped when one of the ships erects a force field around the Hawaiian islands. After shots are fired the aliens destroy Sampson and Myōkō, and damage John Paul Jones killing the commanding and executive officers. Meanwhile the alien flagship (with the force field generator) launches 3 spheres to the island which destroys the highways and Marine Corps airfield. Alex then takes command as the most senior officer left on the ship. He recovers survivors from Myōkō, including Captain Nagata who suggests using the tsunami warning buoys around Hawaii to track the aliens. During a night battle, the aliens and the humans exchange shots in a manner reminiscent of the "Battleship" board game. The John Paul Jones sinks two alien ships but is unable to hit the third. Alex had learnt that the aliens were sensitive to sunlight after they captured one and decides to lure the third alien vessel close to shore, where he and Nagata shoot out its bridge windows at sunrise blinding the aliens. In the ensuing battle both ships are destroyed. The John Paul Jones manages to destroy the first ship but the ship carrying a force field launches 2 of the same sphere that attacked the airbase and the highway.

Meanwhile the aliens have taken over the communications array and are attempting to signal their home planet. Nearby Samantha, a physiotherapist, is accompanying retired Army veteran and double amputee Mick Canales on a hike to help him adapt to his prosthetic legs. They meet a scientist fleeing from the array who agrees to retrieve a radio that will allow them to contact the John Paul Jones. Fearing the aliens were contacting a larger invasion fleet Alex planned to destroy the array, but since his ship has been destroyed the survivors are forced to return to base and acquire the only available naval vessel, the USS Missouri.

After the credits, a scene set in the highlands of Scotland shows three schoolchildren and a handyman running off in terror as an alien hand reaches out of an object they have just broken open.

Cast

Production

Alexander Skarsgard, Brooklyn Decker and Peter Berg promoting the film at WonderCon 2012.

Battleship was to begin filming in Australia's Gold Coast in 2010, but the production company changed location due to a lack of Australian government tax incentives and a high estimated budget of $209 million.[4]

Filming took place in the United States on the Hawaiian islands of Maui and Oahu, as well as in Sherman Oaks, California to do a few apartment scenes and in Playa del Rey, California where they filmed a driving scene along with a shootout.[5] Some scenes were also filmed in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.[6]

The Science & Entertainment Exchange provided science consultation for the film.[7]

A Kongo-class destroyer of the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force also appeared in the film.[8]

Casting

Jeremy Renner was originally considered for the role of Hopper, but due to a conflicting schedule, the actor chose to star in a Paul Thomas Anderson drama filming at roughly the same time.[9][10] In April 2010, it was reported that Taylor Kitsch had been cast as Alex Hopper,[10][11] Alexander Skarsgård played his brother Stone Hopper, Brooklyn Decker stars as Sam, Hopper's fiancee and Liam Neeson as Admiral Shane, Sam's father and Hopper's superior officer.[12][13] Barbadian R&B singer Rihanna makes her acting debut in the film, acting as a sailor.[14] In an interview with GQ, Berg explained how he came up with the idea to cast her. He realized she could act after seeing her 2009 interview about the Chris Brown assault on Good Morning America with Diane Sawyer during which he found her "intelligent and articulate", and her appearance on Saturday Night Live.[15] She accepted the role because she wanted "to do something badass" and also because it wasn't a role too big for her to play.[16] Tadanobu Asano also has a role in the film as the commander of a Japanese Kongo class destroyer. Double amputee U.S. Army Colonel Gregory Gadson, who had never acted before, plays Lt Col Mick Canales.[17] He was cast after Berg saw a picture of him in the National Geographic Magazine.[18]

The film marks the reunion between former co-stars Kitsch and Jesse Plemons, who previously worked together on Berg's TV series Friday Night Lights. Berg said he loves working with friends and explained he knew how comfortable Kitsch was with Plemons, "I know that he’s really good for Taylor and he makes Taylor better. So, I wrote that whole part for Jesse." He added, "I never thought of it as a Friday Night Lights reunion. I thought of it as protection, bringing a trusted family member in."[19]

Actual U.S. Navy sailors were used as extras in various parts of this film. Sailors from assorted commands in Navy Region Hawaii assisted with line handling to take USS Missouri in and out of port for a day of shooting in mid 2010. A few months later, the production team put out a casting call for sailors stationed at various sea commands at Naval Station Mayport, Florida to serve as extras.[20] Sailors were also taken from various ships stationed at Naval Station Mayport, Jacksonville, Florida: USS Hué City, USS Carney and USS Vicksburg were some of the ships that provided sailors.[21]

Soundtrack

Untitled

Due to his success with the Transformers franchise, composer Steve Jablonsky was chosen to score the official soundtrack. The soundtrack features original compositions from Jablonsky and features rock guitarist Tom Morello. Director Peter Berg stated:

Working with composers often is a really frustrating experience because you speak a different language and, oftentimes, they take two or three jobs, at the same time. They're difficult and pretentious and they're tormented artists. I'm not going to name names, but most of them are. One guy who isn't is Hans Zimmer, who taught Steve Jablonsky. We had a couple of meetings and I came up with this idea. The day I met with him, I had had an MRI for my neck, and they make that really scary sound. I was like, "I just had this MRI, and when I was in there, I was thinking about the aliens, and it was really scary." And he was like, "Oh, that's awesome!" He went and recorded MRIs and made music out of MRIs, and that's the theme of the aliens in our film. He is no drama, and just goes and gets it done. The score is big and awesome and scary and driving. At times, it's very simple and acoustic and touching and emotional. He's the best I've ever worked with.[22]

Release

Taylor Kitsch, Rihanna and Brooklyn Decker at the Battleship Australian premiere in April 2012.

The film's world premiere took place in Tokyo on April 3, 2012. The event was attended by director Peter Berg, actors Taylor Kitsch, Brooklyn Decker, Alexander Skarsgård and Rihanna. Later on they initiated a Press Tour visiting Madrid, London and Cartagena de Indias to promote the film.

Box office

Battleship had better box office success in overseas markets than in the US where it had a moderate gross. The film earned $65,233,400 in North America and $237,602,860 in other countries, for a worldwide total of $302,836,260.[23]

Outside North America, Battleship opened on Wednesday, April 11, 2012 in many countries more than five weeks before its North America release, earning $7.4 million.[24] Through Friday, the film earned a 3-day total of $25 million.[25] By the end of its opening weekend, it earned $55.2 million from 26 markets, ranking second behind the 3D rerelease of Titanic.[26]

However, on its second weekend, it topped the box office outside North America, with $60 million.[27] In South Korea, it achieved the highest-grossing opening day for a non-sequel and the third-highest overall ($2.8 million).[25] In comparison to other Hasbro films, Battleship's opening in the UK (£3.76 million) was behind the first Transformers (£8.72 million), but did better than G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra (£1.71 million).[28]

In North America, Battleship grossed $8.8 million on its opening day (Friday, May 18, 2012), with $420,000 originating from midnight showings,[29] and finished the weekend with $25.5 million. It settled in second place for its opening day and opening weekend behind Marvel's The Avengers.[30][31][32] Its opening weekend grosses are well below the anticipated $35–$40 million range that Universal and director Peter Berg were hoping for. A BBC News story published after its first weekend described it as a "box office flop".[33]

Critical reception

The film has received generally poor reviews from critics. As of May 19, 2012, Metacritic, which assigns a weighted average score out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, has given the film an average score of 20 based on 39 reviews,[34] while Rotten Tomatoes gives the film a "rotten" score of 34% based on reviews from 190 critics, and reports a rating average of 4.6 out of 10.[35]

Megan Lehmann of The Hollywood Reporter thought that the "impressive visual effects and [director Peter] Berg's epic set pieces fight against an armada of cinematic clichés and some truly awful dialogue."[36] Empire magazine's Nick de Semlyen felt there was a lack of character development and memorable action shots, and sums up his review of the movie in one word: "Miss."[37]

Many reviews panned the "based on a board game" concept driving the film, although some, such as Jason Di Rosso from the Australian Broadcasting Corporation's Radio National, claimed the ridiculousness of the setup is "either sheer joy or pure hell – depending on how seriously you take it", while de Semlyen "had to admire [the film's creators] jumping through hoops to engineer a sequence that replicates the board game."[37][38][39] Several compared the film to Michael Bay's Transformers film series in terms of quality and cinematic style, with Giles Hardie of The Sydney Morning Herald claiming that the movie "finds the same balance between action-packed imagination and not taking the premise seriously that made Michael Bay's original Transformers such a joyride."[36][38] Andrew Harrison of Q magazine called the film "crushingly stupid".[40] A review written for the L.A. Times[41] also implied disappointment, with writer and film critic Kenneth Turan criticizing the sci-fi action flick's "humanoid aliens", stating that they are "as ungainly as the movie itself, clunking around in awkward, protective suits." Ultimately he does give the film credit by calling the content "all very earnest", but added "it's not a whole lot of fun."

Other critics were less harsh for Battleship: Writing for Time, Steven James Snyder was positive because he had low expectations of the film. He wrote, "The creative team behind this ocean-bound thriller decided to fill the narrative black hole with a few ingredients all but absent from today’s summer tent poles – namely mystery, nostalgia and a healthy dose of humility" and described it as "an unlikely mix of Independence Day, Pearl Harbor, Jurassic Park and The Hunt for Red October".[42] Giving it a B+ grade, Lisa Schwarzbaum of Entertainment Weekly also praised the story saying, "For every line of howler dialogue that should have been sunk, there's a nice little scene in which humans have to make a difficult decision. For every stretch of generic sci-fi-via-CGI moviemaking, there's a welcome bit of wit."[43] The Washington Post gave the film a three-star rating out of four commenting it is "an invigorating blast of cinematic adrenaline".[44]

Home Media

Battleship will be released on DVD and Blu-ray Disc on August 20, 2012 in the United Kingdom,[45] and on August 28 in the United States and Canada.[46]

Video game

A video game based on the film, titled Battleship: The Video Game, was released on May 15, 2012 to coincide with the film's international release. The game was published by Activision and developed by Double Helix Games for PlayStation 3, Wii, and Xbox 360, and developed by Magic Pockets for Nintendo 3DS and Nintendo DS.
