Battleship: The Blockbuster Attempt That Sunk Itself

I'm jason jason what holt jason holtz don't you have hope? It doesn't sound Jewish uh well my dad is Jewish my dad is too you don't have to join the Israeli army how? when are you going to join um? Hasbro in the 2000s decided to take their wide range of ips and adapt them for the big screen. Their first

attempt

with Transformers was a huge success and spawned a franchise that would crash and burn horrendously killing millions of people. The second was Gi Joe Rise of Cobra, which was surely a movie after two absolute hits. Hasbro was sitting there and thought, "You know what kids find really cool." an adaptation of the

battleship

aliens aliens both executives were indicted by the following year's geneva convention, but it was too late

battleship

the film was greenlit and debuted in theaters in 2012. the end result was a film that combined all the Overused tropes and directorial styles in Once, a trend I've noticed in some of my videos is that I tend to offer a medium that isn't perfect.

You know, some benefit of the doubt. The battleship is fascinating to me because of how irredeemable the mountain is. Right now, wait, what's going on? Why the island is being attacked by people I don't know. People are using the word aliens. Aliens. It can not be so bad. First, if you like this movie, that's completely fine. You'll probably see her again for real. before you give me something in the comments, second if you say it has funny moments, yes you are right it's just this scene and that's it so let's talk briefly and I want to say briefly about what happens in the other 90 of this movie , you know if attacking Iran now they are going to fight back, there will be blood, would you rather take that now or let them get a nuclear bomb?

It is the most serious problem facing our planet today, more so than the battleship movie, which I am very excited to have directed and I love Rihanna, she is a great actress, the battleship movie begins with an absolute journey through time and space, scientists talk about shooting a laser into space to talk to aliens, hard cut of two guys hanging out in a bar, a guy named hopper hopper is a bit of a loser if he looks familiar it's because hopper He's played by the guy who was once John Carter and never anything else. His brother is a captain of a navy ship and wants Hopper to take his life in a new direction. game changer, you'll be joining me in the Navy Hopper responds to this by flirting with a girl by breaking into a convenience store and getting attacked by the police, turns out the girl Hopper tried to date was the admiral's daughter and probably embarrassed to your brother.

In the eyes of the navy, what is the solution to all this? Hopper joined the navy, of course, it's been an undisclosed number of years and Hopper went from literal dead weight to a weapons officer on a naval destroyer. Oh, and he's also dating the admiral's daughter anyway. The Japanese navy in town in both countries is having war games, it is meant to be a time of friendly cooperation and learning experience for everyone involved, although Hopper really hates that Japanese captain and they get into a fistfight, everyone gives him the typical speech he has. talented but he's just lazy you're a very intelligent individual with very weak character leadership and decision making skills you're a loose cannon meow meow blurry face have you seen this before well, I wonder if there is some extraordinary situation that he can demonstrate his worth, oh wow, it's an extraordinary situation in which he can prove himself.

You see all this time, the aliens have been following the signal established above and are heading straight to punch this nerd who fractures a ship and sends it spiraling straight to Hong Kong. Hopper hits the giant ship and accidentally activates a Simpsons movie-style dome that encompasses all of Hawaii, coincidentally sealing off the islands from the entire US Navy - you know, except our main characters, of course, because the movie has to happen, all communication is dead, the radar is not. If it doesn't work, the only way any ship can operate is by manually shooting and watching, it turns out that the aliens only react when guns are pointed at them or they only attack guns and not humans, the kind of flip flop movie they see in supposed to be, but getting Back to the story, the aliens blow up two allied ships, including Hopper's brother, leaving him a reluctant hero, but super reluctant, like he's actually incredibly useless, so many other characters in They actually do a lot more to the plot than Hopper, his rival Japanese friend, discovers how he uses the buoys in the ocean to create the real battleship game and eliminates three ships. his girlfriend does more. the aliens are defeated and explode.

His shield falls and they face the full force of a trillion-dollar military budget. In the end, okay, let's talk about it. The Problems I find this movie fascinating because the only way I can really describe it is if you take elements of Battle Los Angeles and Transformers and brutally mix them together because I don't know if you could say it, but the visual aesthetic and directing style of this movie is just michael bay light and that fake baynes gets to the very core of this movie and not only do they copy michael bay but other directors of the time also say just add some jj abrams in there too this is what Popular right I really saved the show, they're like the worst elements of this period in time, they throw us into a blender and this was the concoction, so the best way to show this is through a visual presentation, one lens shines, so many lenses, of done, half. most of the time what is even happening is this just to cover up the shoddy cgi, two emulating michael bay bay style only worked for three movies, no one should try to replicate it three, the absolute dependence on cgi, an essayist of video talking about how bad cgi is what will they think of the next four, whatever this shot is, what is this?

I have literally never seen a

blockbuster

do this, yes those are the visual problems, there are many more, but I'm trying to condense this overall. The aesthetic of Battleship 2012 is that of a mobile game ad like this, it looks cool, but you know the actual gameplay footage won't look like this. I don't know if I should talk about the story or the characters, no, no. I guess I should, it's exhausting to watch this for too long, you know? How about we take a break and come back all healthy and refreshed? Have you been in the Israeli army?

No, how did you get out of that? Are you a draft evader? As? How are you? 25, you joined the military, so I actually remember this around the 2010s. It was often sold on pop sci-fi blogs that when aliens ever met humanity it would be like Columbus meeting the native as in "you don't know the good" and You just know that the screenwriter who wrote this saw that line and thought, That sure would be profound to include this. If there is intelligent life out there and they come here, it will be like Columbus and the Indians, even if this is the only alien invasion. story where that line is not applicable at all independence day sure the war of the worlds is also sure but the aliens on the battleship are the kindest invaders ever as you can see they do everything they can to making sure the main characters never come to any harm. in the main cast he actually dies except you know they only attack when human weapons are literally pointed directly at them and they don't even chase real humans, they just go after me.

I have a gung-ho feeling about this kind of bad feeling like we're going to need a new planet, kind of bad feeling, okay? What are you talking about? They could have killed you right then and there and instead they decided to leave. I've seen people interpret the aliens not being too violent in this movie as if it's really them. It's a good thing this whole movie just started because of a miscommunication and my answer is no, they are just poorly written. The movie seems to change on a whim as the aliens will and will not use violence and have no qualms about simply killing.

The supporting characters say that even if the aliens were secretly good and this was a misunderstanding, then why mention the Columbus allegory in the first place? If there is intelligent life out there and they come here, it will be like Columbus and the Indians, only where the Indians, what are you trying to say, movie? Are you saying that the Spanish only attacked the natives because of a misunderstanding? You know, in some ways, let's compare this to the battle of Los Angeles. Those aliens were designed to be fought by a specific branch of the US military with a small squad.

The based raiders that were perfect for the marines to take on the aliens on a battleship are not simply designed to be fought by the US Navy, they were designed to be fought in an adaptation of a board game, every aspect of the way these aliens acted and were designed. was that they were easily destroyed by warships that fired blindly like in the game, their ships, despite coming from space, do not fly, they jump in the water like dolphins, they do not use lasers or any science fiction weapon that cannot be diverted . from a modern warship they launch large projectiles that can be easily dodged by a WWII ship, which raises the most important question of why aliens in the first place, well it's simple, really commercial, this movie was an

attempt

to please the majority of the general audience. as a possible Second World War, those are too historical ships fighting today, well, that would be too political, so the best thing was to choose an enemy that would not cause any controversy, the aliens, but although some believe that the aliens were good , we know the main one. which is why some of you may like this movie to this day.
