What are the chances? Alien invaders fly all the way to Earth, but then they're stupid enough to bob around in the ocean, not far from where the world's navies happen to have gathered.

Battleship is nonsense, but you have to admire its bludgeoning energy and its hearty, unapologetic embrace of every post-Top Gun cliché. If you really have to make a noisy, cheesy, militaristic sci-fi blockbuster, then this is how it should be done.
