The Movie Battleship (2012) was great, I mean Navy vs Aliens on mostly water made for a pretty epic movie, the Arleigh Burke Destroyer was lethal from a distance with its cruise missiles, torpedo and sea wizard gatling gun vs smaller alien sea bound ships.
But lets be honest herethe USS Missouri Battleship was epic in a one on one fight from close range vs the big alien sea ship, I mean it pounded the aliens into bits
and then once attacked by the aliens it took a pounding and it kept dishing out more damage to the aliens, Battleships dont sink to easily at all
.
PR 1 was an intriguing movie. Funny thing was I kept catching it in the middle on HBO while channel surfing. I finally DVR the movie. It's nice to be able to see the movie from the beginning so I can know what it was about. Of course, me being a guy, found the Asian woman lead as the most intriguing part. Simple pleasures for a one-track mind.

I like Battleship. To me, it was like Die Hard 2. Both fun movies as long as one suspends reality and just enjoy the wild ride. Examples: For Battleship, would there actually be gunpowder on a floating museum to fire the guns? For Die Hard 2, Bruce Willis ejecting from a C-130? (Cool! Except there are no ejection seats in cargo planes).
That being said, they were cool stories and the actors made them fun. To me, I rather have fun, than worry about the illogical parts. If I notice any "artistic license", I just laugh and continue enjoying the ride.
