Posted by elprez00 I have to admit, the way they did the "board game" scene was very creative, and probably somewhat plausible. And the end "They aint sinking this battleship."
Yes I think it's one of my new favorite bad movies.
I liked how the alien rounds actually looked like the game pieces, and even sunk into the hull like them.
Except the plausible part: I didn't understand why neither they nor the aliens had radar or night vision. Also their guns can fire 23 miles but had to do a close up broadside volley. They had to fire blind, but could still communicate with all the buoys.

I actually started a thread about this months ago, cuz I never even made the connection to the game until the credits rolled and I saw "Based on the board game by MB"
I wondered WTF kinda technology would shoot those bad assed saw-balls, but only come up with these bottle like rounds...then it clicked.

As far as bad movies about alien invasions go, Battleship beats the hell out of Skyline.
I's say Skyline makes Battleship look like Saving Private Ryan.

The little shield generator seemed to disable radar. The idea was that they could access the tsunami grid because the aliens didnt think to disable that.
Also, historically, very few conventional Naval engagements were fought beyond visual range. Shooting a 16" gun at a stationary target is one thing.
