    • Trivia
      In March 2012, Army Colonel Gregory D. Gadson, who plays Retired Army Lieutenant Colonel Mick Canales, became Garrison Commander of Fort Belvoir, just south of Washington, D.C. Colonel Gadson is the first bilateral amputee to serve as a Garrison Commander to any post in the United States Army.

      When the full reverse command was given, an underwater view showed the propellers reversing their rotation. Arleigh Burke destroyers utilize reversible pitch propellers and therefore do not change their rotational direction during reversing maneuvers, they simply change the pitch of the blades to provide reversing thrust.

    Battleship
    Is the movie good... no. Was it entertaining... YOUR DAMN RIGHT.

    I found this movie to be entertaining, I bought the characters, the action is well choreographed, the CGI is believable, almost everything on a technical standard is great and some of the writing is good enough that I don't have many complaints to the point that I dislike the movie.

    If there were objections on my part it is just the believability of the actions in the movie and the extensive use of clichés and plot armor. But these complaints don't phase me much.

    This is to me how to make a wacky action movie, it is more that just explosions for 2 hours. It at least has great characters and a plot that I am willing to follow.
