Battleship is made by the same people who worked on the "Transformers" series of movie. If you are a "Transformers" fan, you are not going to be too disappointed with the movie. Let me start by admitting that I am a BIG fan of "The Transformers" series. Hopefully this review will not be favoring the movie because of that (that is, if this review does favor it).
Watching battleship felt like watching an amalgamation of two of my favorite movies, "The Independence day" and "The Transformers", and turning them into a spinning metal-ball of Junk. As always the very realistic animation and sound effects of the movie are eye-catching, but what we didn't find convincing were the acting and the story. Watching the men act in movie will not convince you enough that there are aliens attacking earth for it's extinction. Well they couldn't even convince the audience if Baboons were attacking earth. The acting lacked a level of conviction from the actors and went too emotional at times that was sufficient to turn you off. Somethings were left unclear in the movie, like the aliens only destroyed machines and didn't attack humans. There were times when it didn't attack battleships and left them, probably because the Hero was in that ship :) . It was like watching a bollywood movie (minus the awesome animation).
My suggestion: If you are really bored and have nothing else to do this weekend, try to buy a ticket or two of this movie. Let's give the makers of "Transformers" some business people... :-)
