Review

     A short brief of Battleship is the responsibility of a small Navy team off the coast of Hawaii to save the world. I like the attitude of the film that gives such a big responsibility on the main character, Stone Hopper, who is supposed to be a uselss and hopeless man.
     There are a lot of critical reception on the film. For example, there was a lack of character development and memorable action shots But if we just consider the whole story and the visual effect matter, it is a truely good movie. I love how Hopper lost his mind after his brother's death. He tried to use the little ship power to fight against the warship of aliens. It teached us that no matter how little our power is, we still have the right to fight. (despite the action of him is considered to be mad). It also teached us that we have to think twice to take an action.
