quote:What Battleship the film does is apply this philosophical principle to everything in life. Approaching a girl in a pub is a game of Battleship, allowing yourself to be tasered is a game of Battleship, even other games like football (soccer) and baseball are essentially Battleship at their core. Hell, toward the end of the first act this film even dares to suggest that 9/11 and the recent London riots were games of Battleship. Every time this happens, however, we are reminded that Battleship is a two-player game and that the other side is experiencing the exact same thing as we are: blindly firing at potential targets in the hopes of achieving a hit or miss and learning from that for the next move. Very few blockbusters are willing to humanise the terrorists with whom we are at war as a simple expositional exercise. The film will later go on to "hyper-humanise" (more human than human, to quote Blade Runner) the invading aliens, making them some of the most sympathetic faceless enemies you've ever seen.

The aliens in Battleship are a ripoff of the Kilrathi from Wing Commander
