Lt Colonel Greg Gadson was the true star of this film. The director, Peter Berg, did the best he could with something as simplistic and mechanical as the Battleship game. The characters were a bit thin and predictable. Intimidating general, doting big brother, reckless little brother, hot chick, arch nemesis turned right hand man, goofy sidekick and toss in a nerd who finds his courage.
The two dimensional characters were what made Gadson's storyline and presence so compelling. Was worth seeing the movie to watch a true military man beat down an alien.
Otherwise, it was... meh. We've all seen better CGI, better plots, better action elsewhere.
