And yet, since it prominently features the Navy, almost everyone I know is talking about it, going to see it, and most likely going to claim it's really good even though it totally won't be.

I remember hearing about the Battleship movie for the first time. I thought it was a really ridiculous idea.

Amazingly, though, the finished product actually looks even more stupid than I expected.

Maybe they want to see it because they're hoping Rihanna will be topless? I almost feel tempted to see it because Liam Neeson is in it, but I'll just wait for it to be on tv or something.

it isn't rated R, and we literally have the internet now so hoping to see a naked person is no reason to see a movie when you could get screencaps with a google search.

Michael Bay's Don't Wake Daddy

Make your way to the kitchen for a snack without waking Daddy (The King of all Aliens). Land on a noise and you'll blow up Daddy's alarm clock (along with the thing you stepped on to make the noise)

sure, but like I said... shouldn't they be seeing it as a "bad movie involving the navy thus being like... negative for the navy" or something?

I would describe myself as a gamer (or maybe I wouldn't because I still don't love the word, but it regardless it would be an accurate way to describe me). When I see this trailer:

http://www.screened.com/trailer-noobz/128-1131/


I don't go "omg it's a gamer movie must see", I go "omg this is a bad movie about gamers that would make anyone seeing it think less of this group I am a part of".

What I'm trying to say here is... I think your friends have bad taste in movies. I'm sorry to inform you of this, I know it must be hard.

Hey, those could be anyone's battleships!

But in this movie, it's pretty clearly the US Navy who is in play.

Honestly, I'd bet anything the DoD as a whole actually does.

I mean, all those generals who show up to the Pentagon every day have to be doing something right?

SPOILERS the earth navy wins the ultimate battle in the final minuts of the movie when the aliens have to take a bathroom break and earth cheats by looking over and seeing where their ships are, then guessing those locations. Aliens accuse earth of cheating. Earth denies it, insists upon luck.

As a former Chinese cryptolinguist for the US Navy I can safely say that I do not intend spend money on this movie. I might watch it if someone game me free passes, but I'd probably make fun of it the whole time.
