The theory of the aliens being a bunch of miners makes the most sense to me.

A lot of their "weapons" looks like the blasting, drilling and excavation equipment a mining company would use.

0:48 "It's those damn north koreans I'm telling you!" Love it.

[Tommygunner]

The scene using the buoys to hunt the ships and the fact the aliens use explosive pegs are subtle references to our beloved table top game

[aritrasarkar]

a military personnel in a combat situation... "i didn't sign up for this shit"

[shashikant]

Although Aliens' behaviour is beyond understanding but the fight scene, cgi was pretty amazing.
I love this movie and watched it over 20 times.

[AbyssalTitan]

If this gets a Sequel
I'd be impressed

[flupyclouds]

what I love about this movie is that the humans aren't incompetent, usually it's just the very few main characters that are smart and they take down the enemies alone
but here you can see it is all about teamwork!!

[taajwarpope]

Battleship got the cinematic style of Michael Bay, but with a different director: Peter Berg. Plus, the visual effects of Industrial Light and Magic is off the chain.

As a former sailor on one, an Arleigh Burke destroyer without access to its SPY-1D and contingent of Standard and Harpoon missiles is indeed basically a sitting duck. The 5" mount is really only good for warning shots at very close ranges.
Worth mentioning: the CIWS (the Gatling gun shooting the pegs out of the sky) uses radar for tracking, so I'm not sure why that one worked and the SPY-1D didn't...

This movie is a guilty pleasure of mine, the plot is stupid but it’s so fun to watch.

Human: let's give them a warning (ship blows horn)
Alien: that's cute, now this is our horn

[tbush]

I just noticed, the humans honked their horn. The aliens only honked back (with the closest thing they have to a horn, probably set to weakest frequency).

Then the humans shot at them, and they shot back

[whynot-tomorrow_]

I always thought the implication of the alien's constant "restraint" was that they have absolutely no way of replenishing ammunition or equipment, so they only use _just enough_ to respond to immediate threats. They retaliate to every attack with equivalent force +1 extra shot. Ship honks its horn? They use their sonic attack. Ship fires one shot? They fire two or three. Ship keeps firing? Full barrage until its destroyed. They managed to take the turn-based component of 'Battleship' and turn it into a logical plot device. Very clever.

[billymicchicbobymiclocky]

Still love this movie, and always will.

[terrytragianopoulos]

This movie was demolished by critics when it came out but screw them it was just so entertaining and the CGI was sick and Rihanna of course was gorgeous!!

[matthewpowell]

I can't even begin to imagine the anger and rage he felt when he saw his brother's ship incinerated.

[ConfusedAdmiral]

0:47 “It's the North Koreans I'm telling ya”

[stormtroopertk]

FYI

the alien ships can fly, the reason they don’t in the movie is because their thrusters were water logged you can see this when the alien ship jumps over the smaller boat, they were trying to take off but if you look you can see the busted components on the ship.

[Aoi_Noobette]

3:28 *"I didn't sign up for this bullshit"*

[chrissyx]

i hope if a sequel comes out.. the next alien race has even more advanced stuff and seem far more lethal. It seemed like these aliens didnt want confrontation they only attacked when they saw aggression/hostility. The fact they wanted to bring their entire race to earth was interesting But it would be funny to see a sequel where the aliens want revenge for how the humans beat them in this movie etc
