The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

AMERICAN WARSHIPS another of the numerous Asylum rip-offs of mainstream Hollywood cinema; this time around it's the turn of BATTLESHIP. The good news is that BATTLESHIP was a terrible film anyway, so AMERICAN WARSHIPS couldn't be any worse, and indeed it isn't; instead, it's just as bad. The story is trite and predictable, with a naval stand-off between American and supposed North Korean ships turning into a battle against an extraterrestrial enemy. There's a great deal of bad CGI in the form of endless explosions and the like, and very little in the way of wit or plot development; just repetition instead. Poor old Carl Weathers has been roped into appearing, while Mario Van Peebles somehow manages to not look embarrassed by the whole experience.

There's no need for any other words than "CRAP" to describe this ... film - or whatever it should be called. If this was sold as a pre-production test filming, put together .. spoof film .. then MAYBE it could have been watched with eyes of what could be done with proper production. But this piece of CRAP will only make sure I'll NEVER EVER watch a film made by Asylum or featuring any of the cast from this title, no matter if Angelina Jolie directs them or Jason stratham is the main star. SHAME on you that let this out on the market and wasted valuable resources on something so pathetic it should be considered a crime against the arts. If I where a film maker, I would sue the ---- out of Asylum for destroying so much by taking this from a twisted persons mind and really capture on film. Please erase this from history ... it's enough we have to live with Oprah and WWF. My eyes need a rinse .. all the blood in my tears are clouding my vision.

Obviously the writers of this film didn't go out of their way to strain their brains to come up with a decent enough script and the producers were probably not so eager to empty their pockets to add to the budget. In the end what you have is a film that is literally not worth seeing. The acting is so bad it'll make you cry more than you thought you did while watching the TITANIC. The effects are so terrible the CG resembles something more like silicon rather than animation and the editing is also somewhat crap as various scenes were constantly reused several times just to indicate how low the film budget really is.Overall, Its not worth the running time it'll take you to watch this film. The film BATTLESHIP might not be a masterpiece itself but it is okay if you don't take the plot too seriously.

I usually don't write reviews or comments, but this movie is so so pathetic that I created an account here just to say how bad this movie is to let out my frustrations. Its actually not a movie, its a cartoon made by some retarded clowns. We need to rather invent a new word in English vocabulary which should mean '100 times pathetic or disgustingly pathetic or pathetically pathetic' than that word would be suitable for this movie. Whoever has watched this movie for at least 20 min has become a 'victim' of this movie and must go to see any psychiatric to calm oneself down. I happen to see this movie on Netflix, but god bless those people who actually watched this movie on theaters. And moreover, despite the fact that they made the pathticest movie possible in mankind, they also showed intent for second part in the end by saying 'aliens might have sent distress signal'. ** Please do yourself a favor and do not watch this movie. **
