Excellent movie

A S.F. & action movie that contains details on a possible future whentrying to contact an intelligent species that may be more developedthan us and you can search for a new settlement area. A lesson to belearned from our history when Spanish conquistadors who colonizedAmerica, so the human species can reach the threshold extinction causedby the strongest. Lots of action, everyday experiences, love, triumphof reason over emotions, survival at any cost, cause dedication,heroism finally ...P.S.: It isn't a movie based on comic books as childish as Transformersas some say it's !

action movie -ok- with not too bad of a plot

oh wow finally i know: aliens have teeth! well there are several "what?are they serious" moments that are just not realistic. but we allexpect that, going to an action alien movie with lots of cgi. theeffects were not really perfect, but OK just like the acting. manycheesy scenes, but i also expect that, watching anaction-military-USA-movie. the plot was OK, not very complex but withsome twists that i didn't see beforehand. the only thing i need topoint out negatively is that the story really only starts 40 min intothe movie. that may have been done better/shorter, esp. in a 2 hourfilm...

An mindless eye-candy flick

I watched the movie last night, and it immediately reminded me ofTransformers. The lame plot, aliens, hot girl, explosions andalien-tech are all Michael Bay look alike. There are so many things that bother me in the movie, but i'll delveinto the things that bother me the most - Warning - spoilers. 1. Jackass spending on a radio-signaling array toward deep space - Whenyou find a 'goldilocks' planet, you try to investigate it using passiveinformation (optical and radio telescopes, orbit variations, radiationspecter lines to detect complex organic components etc...). Nobodyinvests into a high-powered signaling equipment to shoot signals at aplanet that can possibly support life. 2. Aliens are driving like drunken idiots - I won't even bother withthe time needed for the Earth signal to reach Gliese 581 and the FTLspeed of alien ships. But if the aliens are able to transit a distanceof 20ly in less than 4 years and their intentions are on invasion, onewould expect that they'll make a careful final approach toward theplanet, observe the orbital junk and equipment instead of divingheadlong towards Earth and destroying their communications ship byslamming into a satellite 3. Alien ship designers and strategists were brain-dead - Alien shipsare able to generate a shield with a radius of several miles, but areunable to hover/fly - instead they are moving using a tremendouslyinefficient hopping motion. Even if unable to fly, a much moreefficient way would be to move underwater like submarines. On the samenote, the aliens have the technology and intelligence to traverse therisks of interstellar space but have no concept of radar or sonar? 4. Alien devices suddenly become weak just in the nick of time - Thealiens helmet visors can withstand a point-blank shot from a pistolwithout a scratch, but the viewport of their interstellar faring vesselcan be punched with an anti-materiel rifle shot. The screamers-likedestruction rotating blades can rip through tens of explodinghelicopters, blast through tens of reinforced concrete columnsapparently unharmed, but are easily blasted by AA missiles once theearth planes arrive. 5. Aliens are almost human??? - really, whoever designed the aliensshould return his/her salary with interest!. There is no reasonableassumption which will explain how aliens coming from a differentbiology and planet will be EXACTLY humanoid - the aliens looked likesome ugly biker dude with a goatee.6. The Navy is conserving it's weapons - after the first shots with the120 millimeter gun obviously didn't do anything except to provoke adestruction of one destroyer, one would expect a full salvo oftomahawks, sea-sparrows, torpedoes, even dirty underwear and anythingelse they have on hand. But no, the first idea was to lob some moreshells, keep your weapons for when they are really needed - like for analien invasion anyone?

Annual US Armed Forces Recruitment Film - 2012 version

What is a fact is a fact. There is no denying. Peter Berg and Universalexecs probably envious of big box office profits of latest trend ofMichael Bay Aliens vs US Army , decided to adapt another of Hasbrotitles , old "Battleship" game into a movie. That's right. Video games, comic books , action figures all run out. Now boardgames are latesttarget of stupid , empty headed but CGI overloaded studio production.Actually whole movie is a huge excuse for cramming as much CGIexplosion , special effects s possible. Characters are paper thinboring clichГѓВ©s. To increase appeal photogenic super model like actorswho can not act are in the movie ( neither Brooklyn Decker nor Rhiannacan act worth a damn. There are in movie for eye candy. Liam Neeson hasjust 10 minutes of screen time. Taylor Kitsch was not too bad in JohnCarter but in Battleship his character is worst kind of stereotype ,suffering from Captain Kirk syndrome) but like in GI Joe it does nothelp. Actions of aliens make no sense and are not defined. Producersprobably decided that Air Force , Marine Corps had enough fun repellingfreaking alien invasions so it is Navy's turn. Story is weak. So theyadded every possible clichГѓВ© from sci-fi genre : instant battlefieldpromotion , male hero taking responsibility in crisis , his hotgirlfriend involving a pointless secondary story ( a trick in scriptwriting that dates back to disaster flicks of 1970'ies ) US militarykicking ass of faceless aliens ( when these freaky fictional alienswill learn that in Hollywood fairy land they have no chance againsthumans with cocky attitude ? ) etc....What else ? Ruined cities check ,geeky scientists check , trashed military hardware check , no blood orcasaulties in ruins check , middle aged government officials makingemergency conferences shouting computer screens to hammer gravity ofcrisis check , evil genocidal aliens with energy shields , powerfulweapons , interstellar travel and other overdone technological advancescheck , same aliens having a weaknesses in their tech to be exploitedin CGI battles check , cringe worthy exposional dialog check....Listgoes like that.Make no mistake. Battleship will make money probably a decent profitdue to its marketing campaign for targeted audience ( teenage ,uneducated young adult populace who do not know how to distinguishbetween quality and cr..p. They are majority audience ) Box Officeperformance usually determined by shape of your marketing and sellingyour movie to your audience. But a year from now I doubt anyone whowatched Battleship , basically Independence Day made for 2012 season (come to think of it Roland Emmerich could also direct this ) , willremember that they paid cash to see it without embarrassing themselves.Universal just expanded 200+ million dollars for a bad militaristicseasonal product. Can you point out how different it is from Battle LA? Even old World War 2 propaganda movie "Why We Fight ?" has moresubstance than this one

40% Good looking women, 40% Big boats with big guns, 19% awesome one liners and 862% EXPLOSIONS!!

This movie were everything over the expected! Acting was good, actorswere good to and Rihanna did a pretty good job for her first movieacting! Not that much of a story, little of relationship and love,quite much humor, awesome "one liners", very nice graphics, quite a lotof famous actors. If you like Transformers I think you will like this,but on the other hand this isn't close too Transformers in how muchtime they have put in on story or actors performing, but it's in thesame category!If you like explosions, awesome fight between boats and alienspaceship. THIS IS THE MOVIE FOR YOU THEN!

Great SFX -- But Really . . .

I'll give it 5 stars because the CGI (Special FX) are excellent as wenow expect from any such Sci-Fi action film. I saw it with a friendbecause our wives refused to go (and they would not have beenimpressed). The "acting" is, well, acting. The characters arecaricatures. No chance to take any of it seriously. From a sciencepoint of view, there is one major problem - the film shows thescientists "throwing the switch" to send a signal to a star with anearth-like planet, and it seems within seconds the aliens show up! Theclosest star to earth requires over 4 years for light to travel to orfrom earth - radio signals, or the very strange "light beams" in thefilm would travel no faster. And the closest star has no earth-likeplanets. In reality, the first earth-like planet was discovered justlast December (2011) which is rather a fine coincidence for the filmmakers, but it is about 600 light years away, meaning light or radiowaves would take 600 years to travel one way. If the aliens couldtravel at the speed of light, it would take 1,200 years for them toarrive if they left immediately after getting the signal. But theirships seem rather crude in some ways - they even crash into a satelliteas they approach earth, so they aren't very advanced space people! Others have commented on the absurdity of a down-and-out slob like AlexHopper joining the Navy and seemingly in only a few months (weeks?days?) becoming a lieutenant, and then in the battle being promoted tocaptain. Also the outfitting of the USS Missouri to operational statusin a couple hours is beyond absurd. The aliens were another problem,though I did like the fact that they were not insect-type or weirderthan they were. All of them looked like twins (triplets, quintuplets?)People in the film and in the world have many different physicalcharacteristics (hair, eye, skin, color and size, etc.) but each of thealiens we see look identical to all the others. Of course the plot is pretty predictable (what do you expect from amovie "based on" a board game). The good guys win, no one on the USSJohn Paul Jones seems to be injured after it is spectacularly blown up,and the slob turned Captain promoted to Lieutenant Commander at the endgets the girl! We saw it at our local $2 cinema (yes, only $2 for a 2D film - theydidn't have a 3D version this week) and the special FX alone were worthit. I would have been upset if it cost $8 or $12 ...

Great Military Sci-Fi Action Movie

This is a great military sci-fi action movie. Good guys fighting Aliensand winning. Mindless entertainment but very entertaining. Some good olAmerican patriotism thrown in for good measure. It is not an AcademyAward Winner but I don't think that is the intention, the intention isgood entertainment and at that it succeeds. Taylor Kitsch plays thepart well and is very likable. People are not sure about him yet but Ithink he will prove to be a bright young star with a great future aheadof him. This movie was worth my time and was exactly what I expectedand then some. In the context of alien action movies I say it is a 9out of 10.

"Battleship" Review

Understanding that this is based on the Hasbro board game "Battleship,"and these are the same people who graced the cinematic landscape withall those "Transformers" films, it would take very little intuition torealize that the film "Battleship" is not going to be all about seriousstorytelling or cinematic craftsmanship. At first glance, it looksstupid, and most folks will agree that it is as stupid as it looks.Just another uninspired alien invasion story, based on the standard andhollow formula of spectacle and style over substance for an instantcash grab. And to think so would be correct; you know what you get with"Battleship," and it's like cinematic junk food.But, heck, I enjoy junk food now and then. As anticipated, "Battleship"heaps on the cinematic calories with massive, potentially unhealthydoses of incredible special effects, explosive mass destruction, andhuge sea battles. The action is quite impressive and well-filmed;combined with some humor, the film succeeds at being an entertainingand eye-catching thrill ride. Above all, this film has a tone and stylethat never takes itself more seriously than it should. There's nopretension here; the film knows it's junk food, and never strives to beanything more. In spite of that, the film remains a fun, upbeat, andlighthearted adventure.Now, for the negative criticism: the story is marginal at best. It hasjust enough substance to service the action, and just enoughcharacterization to understand who the heroes are. However, the mainhero proves to be a total jerkwad for the first half of the movie; heacts to arrogantly and aggressively that it's impossible to believethat he could be an actual naval officer. The assumption is that thecharacter endures some change by the end, beefing himself up internallyto rise as a proper military leader with discipline and teamworkabilities (which would be very befitting of a film with a cast ofmilitary characters), but this change is purely contrived. That'spretty much my sole complaint; the problem is that the film is so lightand thin that the audience can easily point out the stupidity of thecharacters, situations, and concepts. If you don't get hung up on suchthings, then you can sit back and just enjoy the onslaught ofexplosions and sea battles. Otherwise, you'll be in for a miserableride.The film looks really nice, with lots of slick photography and qualityediting. Acting and writing are marginal at best; Taylor Kitsch plays arather unlikable hero, while the talents of Liam Neeson, AlexanderSkarsgard, and Rihanna are thrown into the pot for added star power,and little more. Many of the film's lines are pretty dumb. However,this production spares no expense on the lavish sets, props, costumes,and special effects. Music is nice; Steve Jablonsky formulates astandard, high-impact music score, while lots of rock music is thrownin for the occasional feel-good sensibility.Like I said, you can probably deduce whether you'll like it or not justfrom the film's title, trailers, posters, etc. It's a fine romp of analien invasion film, but if you're wanting more to it, then you'resetting yourself up for disappointment. If you aren't sure, then youbetter give it a rent and see for yourself. It comes more highlyrecommended to those audiences who can turn off their brains for awhile and gape in awe at the massive 'splosions and the pretty alienships.3/5 (Entertainment: Very Good | Story: Poor | Film: Marginal)

Eventful, enjoyable, fun. Not the best, but worth a watch.

I'm really surprised at some of the negative reviews. I'm rating itslightly higher to offset them, but I'd probably rate it around a 7 toa little higher.First off, I'd like to say that it was a very enjoyable movie. I wasactually expecting something a lot worse, so it may not have been thegreatest starting expectations, but I was pleasantly surprised. There'sdepth to it that I was not expecting, especially for such a crappytrailer which doesn't display the depth at all. The war veteran who hadhis legs shot off, trying to feel like a whole, functional personagain, and the retired vets who'd served, proving they aren't justwashed-up-and-out soldiers, really impressed me. There's too few moviesthat show what happens after war, and this movie melded what happens inwar with what happens post-war beautifully, especially since thiswasn't one of the focuses of the movie.Pros: Beautiful special effects, the viewer is left guessing about thealiens intentions at the start (it's not your typical "aliens arrive,aliens attack movie".), intriguing plot that may surprise you at acouple points, is slightly predictable, but enjoyable nonetheless.Cons: A little too much focus on the battle scenes, the aforementionedposing of the war vets is comically ridiculous, and there are a fewscenes where you end up scratching your head and asking if you missedsomething or not, or laughing at the nigh-ludicrous scenario that ispresented. However, they are generally short and don't often take awayfrom the rest of the movie.Overall: Pretty well designed, fun movie. It's not jaw-droppingspectacular, but it's well worth the watch. Liam Neeson is alwaysenjoyable in his role, and while Rihanna is a backstage character, shedoes add a fun bit of fire to the guns. Main characters are actuallydeeper than they initially appear (the blonde girlfriend is a physicaltherapist with interesting development beyond just sex appeal, the maincharacter is a screw up who never quite gets it right, which is ahelluva lot more realistic than the "zero-to-hero" movies, etc.) Fairlygood character development, enjoyable and beautiful cinematics, andaction-adventure that leaves you smiling makes this far better thanyour typical, run-of-the-mill summer movie.

Rides every clichГѓВ© that ever existed

Corny, silly, ridiculous, stupid, pointless, mindless. Probably one ofthe worst movies this year. Aliens need a signal to get to Earth thenthey come with explosive weapons and earthly technology and the navybeats the aliens with a battleship. The unlikely but obvious heromarries the beautiful princess, the elderly retirees get their secondchance at being heroes, the handicapped soldier also gets a secondchance at being a hero and the Japanese marine helps the USA save theworld from an alien invasion. The story is weak, predictable and theacting is very mediocre. Liam Neeson has made a custom of choosing badstory lines for his work. It seems as this movie has been paid for bythe Navy to lure young mindless people to join their ranks.Distasteful, unpleasant.

Great special effects - Bad storyline

To help him correct his life, Commander Stone Hopper (Skarsgård) draftshis little brother Alex Hopper (Kitsch) to the Navy. Soon after theyfind themselves on the deck of a battleship defending themselves, theircrew, their ship and the faith of mankind against an invading alienfoe.The storyline of the film is as to be expected. Like in IndependenceDay (1996) we find ourselves in an seemingly impossible fight vs. ansuperior adversary and only the cunning of a few men and women canalter the faith of mankind.The special effects in the film are somewhat the best I've ever seenand make it a wonderful experience, but the rather thin storylinedisappoints me.But still, do I want to see the film again? I have to say 'Yes'. Thisis a great "cure-my-Sunday-morning-hangovers-film". You can sleepthrough most of the film and still not miss out on anything.7/10 – On account of the great special effects.

Battleship

I really liked this movie with all the Navy ships on it and theexcitement going on. My favorite part was when close to the end whenthey used the Museum ship the USS Missouri and the retired Navy menhelped them run the ship and destroy the aliens, that was the best partof the movie. It was funny when Hopper asked for Sams hand in marriageat the end and her father Liam said no then laughed and said come on wewill eat and discuss the terms of your surrender. that was funny, iwould like to see other movies like that. Hated when Hoppers brothergot killed, was hoping that he would have lived to be with his brotherand both be hero's.

don't hesitate to read this

I was looking forward for big production value SiFi.With such a product I usually get back to the shop and return it!The script looses everything set up right at the beginning, the actionsof the characters are stupid.How could anyone define a captain of a battleship with at least 40sailors who:- gets the command by accident - snipers down an alien battleship byhimself - triggers down an alien in empty floors on a hardcore battlingship - gets a transmission of his girlfriend in the second he is ableto reuse his communication centreand so on. What is that? That is a big fifo's fraud.This film is neither worth the time nor the money to watch if you lookfor the most little cleverness of filmmaking.But let's not loose more words than: absolutely disappointing!

It isn't as bad as people say it is!

Not all of us are interested in stripping down the film piece by pieceand admire the acting, the story, the graphic separately and rate them.Most of us watch a movie to enjoy and lose some stress not to developphilosophy or doubt reality. Keeping this in mind, this movie is fine!The CGI was really nice and the concept kinda realistic not even farfetched. The acting maybe not be amazing, the story may be a littlebland but all in all the movie is pretty enjoyable. No, there is nothing extraordinary or worth remembering but not everymovie has to be a revolver or needs to have hugely popular comiccharacter to be entertaining. This movie is entertaining and sensible.Frankly, I didn't feel it to be a drag at any point.Maybe, just maybe someday you want to just cool out watching a movie,then this is fine.

Memories of Hawaii :)

Yeah yeah. Like most, when I first heard what the title of the film wasand what it was based on, I'm like "You can't be serious" .. But thenwhilst vacationing in Hawaii back in 2010, Trevor and I actually had todelay our tour one day as they had to shoot some scenes on the USSMissouri.. and once the tour guide told us, that Liam Neeson andRihanna were there, I found a little more belief and interest in thefilm (spesh since Liam was involved) The film is actually quite, funny.There are of course serious scenes but also a good amount of comicrelief to allow a break now and then. John Carter stars (uh, TaylorKitsch of J.C, Gambit from Wolverine) along with Eric Northman of TrueBlood fame (Alexander SkarsgГѓВҐrd) also Rihanna (yes, she can act,although the hick tough accent was a lil put on) and Liam Neeson.OK, so we all most likely guessed by now. Aliens appear in the water,during naval exercises.. and a little game of Battleship then ensues(who'd have guessed) There is also a side story occurring meanwhile onthe Hawaiian island of Oahu (it was great to see the rolling greenhills of Jurassic Park once again!) The aliens look a lot like Spartansfrom the HALO game series (perhaps left overs from the movie itself,which was axed... and became District 9) You will also find a littleAcca Dacca (AC-DC) music pumping away in the feel good moments, alongwith a good glimpse of the Aussie flag approaching the end of the film!Not to spoil much, but the old crew (unsure if actual or not) from theMissouri.. DO steal the show at one point and was a delight to watch.Including the ship(s) in action! Overall, twas worthwhile.

fails miserably on every level

The ONLY intention of this ridiculous movie is presumably to keep youon the edge of your seat through any nonsensical means possible. Eventhat lone goal fails miserably. Seeing the same effects over and overagain numbs the brain as much as listening to the dumbest dialogueexchanges in the history of the cinema. This movie exits in ahyper-reality where the world is like a giant video game andbattleships defy the laws of physics. I found that to be VERY annoying.If there are no consequences, even by the laws of nature, then what'sthe point? Even poor video game graphics make more sense then what yousee on screen here. Have you ever watched a child play with matchboxcars? Nonsensically spinning cars, bad guys flinging bee hives andsnakes from car to car and far too many dumb things too mention aren'tfun or revolutionary. This movie is geared to very, very young kids andto absolutely no one else. This is, without a doubt, one of the worstmovies of the year if you're an adult with a fully functional brain.

Sploich Reviews Battleship (2012)

Battleship is pretty much exactly what I was expecting. I could justsee the writers shrugging when handed the premise and saying, "We gotnothing'." It was a complete waste of two hours of my day sittingthrough this mess of boring CG propaganda.The movie centers on Alex Hopper (Taylor Kitsch), a lieutenant in theU.S. Navy who encounters an alien invasion on what was to be his lastday before they kicked him out of service. He ends up having to leadhis ship as captain in a war against the invaders.I'm going to just skip over the fact that this movie has absolutely noreason to exist. It's just a marketing ploy and I don't have a problemwith those as long as they're done well. I'm more concerned witheverything else that was pointless about the film. For instance: Thealiens. Why are there aliens in this movie? Why couldn't you just makea period war film involving warring battleships on the high seas? Imean, okay, I know the actual reason there are aliens in this movie.Two weeks ago we got aliens in The Avengers. We're getting Men in BlackIII next weekend. Cowboys & Aliens. District 9. Transformers. I get it.But they just feel shoehorned into this for the sake of having them andthat makes it lame and pointless.The second useless thing is Liam Neeson. Don't get me wrong, I loveLiam Neeson. I figured he'd be the saving grace in seeing this but heonly gets about five minutes of screen time. They only got him so theycould sell the movie with his name, but I don't think Liam Neeson hasever met that level of stardom, even now. They literally could havehired anybody else and it would have worked just as well. And Neesonacts like he just wants his check so he can go home. They actuallyforced in a scene of him yelling at somebody over the phone just sothey could have a scene of him yelling at somebody. It's reallypathetic to watch. The acting in general was fine though, but nobodyever really had any scenes in which to prove their acting skills soit's not worth going into. Oh, except for this one big black guy wholost his legs. I think he was an actual veteran they got just so theycould use that character in the movie. Yeah, he was a pretty terribleactor.Actually, I need to address the aliens again because the movie didn'tseem to want to address them all that much. I feel like the writers hada reason for the aliens only attacking weapons and machinery but notpeople, but refused to let the audience in on it. They take severalpoints in the film to establish that they are not trying to hurthumans, only protect themselves from them. This could have been usedfor some sort of emotional realization but instead they opted to justkeep the movie about blowing up things we don't understand. They evensay at one point that the aliens are only firing on what attacks themfirst, but they decide, "Screw it, fire at them anyway!"I don't really understand why they called in actual naval officers tomake this movie when their ultimate goal was to just kill all of themoff. The whole movie has this pseudo-American pride motif but then alsohas a weird subplot about the U.S. Navy being at odds with the JapaneseNavy. I spent most of the film trying desperately to figure out why thewriters put this in and it still hasn't come to me. Was it just forconflict? There are aliens shooting at you. Isn't that enough conflict?I would call Battleship better than Transformers, but at least theTransformers movies pretended to have a story. This just barely triesand fails miserably. There's a scene after the credits that goes onforever and ultimately just ends up to be fodder for a sequel. Please,for the love of film, don't let this movie have a sequel. Don't make mehave to sit through a sequel. Let's get Hasbro to bring something elsethey make to the big screen. Something with a huge fanbase of all agesthat would actually have a plot and characters worth watching.Something that would teach of the Magic of Friendship. Too bad theydon't have anything like that. Wait... www.sploich.com

Transformer Clone

I was so looking forward to seeing this movie but what a let down!!If you have a tendency for movies with large explosions, poor dialogueand you can leave your brain at home, then this is the movie for you.The film made very little sense, throughout. Why were the Aliens hear,why did they pick a fight without understanding their opponent. Seeingthat they are more technically advanced, why have they not tried tomake contact before, etc.Liam Neeson and Skarsgard, good actors were wasted in this movie onlyplaying minor roles. Taylor Kitsch character I found annoying and Icould not understand how a person with such a dislike for authority andlacking common sense could be the Navy's best. Brooklyn Deckerperformance was OK and was pleasing on my eyes. Rihanna wasn't bad forher first movie but I kept hoping that she would breakout into a cameoand sing "My umbrella". A battleship is normally operated by 2,000 to 3,000 men but thisbattleship that had not been running for 20 years or more could simplestart working at full efficiency with a compliment of 20 people at bestand having live ammunition on board was unbelievable. How the Aliens were defeated in the end was just a nonsense. Apart fromthe performance of Rihanna, Decker and Skarsgard. The only thing ofcredit in this movie is the special effects.

avoid it and thank me later

hey i had low low expectations at the beginning of this movie and istill think its awful. As mentioned by another guy on the web (and hisreview is SPOT ON i reckon) Battleship is made from scraps off theproductions unit of Hasbro (makers of the Tranformers) in order tomarket and sell more of its merchandise (in this case the boardgame ofthe same name). Heck might as well eh? since us consumers are justplain dumb. Even more dumb is the fact that Hasbro still thinks ppl arestill buying boardgames in this day and age ROFL. Anyways, a reallyawful movie that I wished I had not wasted my time watching it. Anyonereading this should also avoid watching this #$$%@ You Have BeenWarned...

how could any man not love this.

When I saw the trailer I thought if this movie lived up to the trailerit would be awesome. The movie surpassed my expectation by 10 times. Ifyou are a real man, you gotta love this movie, just like a real manwould love a Custom 1911 with pearl grips. If you like movies with twoguys kissing and drive a Volvo, then you would nt like it. If you werea woman, I would not expect you to like it at all but if you did thenyou would be my kind of woman. I can't believe people who go to a movielike this and say things like the love relation between the main starswas not believable enough or something crazy like that. If you arelooking for something like that then watch "On Golden Pond" or "EatPray Love", not a movie about battleships and aliens.....
