Brief Plot Synopsis: Invasion by dumb aliens repelled by attractive sailors.
Tagline: "The battle for Earth begins at sea."
Better Tagline: "For everyone who didn't find Transformers 3 loud or dumb enough."
Does It at Least Qualify As a "Popcorn Movie?" Meaning "one not intended for serious examination?" I won't go into the particulars of why asking one to "turn their brain off" is kind of stupid, but will point out that in order for a movie to qualify for "popcorn" designation, it should be...fun. Maybe the plot's weak or the acting isn't exactly up to scratch, but it can be forgiven if it allows you to forget your troubles for a couple hours. There's nothing about Battleship that doesn't feel like the conclusion of a hundred lengthy focus-group discussions.
