Reviews
"BATTLESHIP is a more entertaining film than the TRANSFORMERS titles, because it has slightly more fully fleshed characters, a better plot and a lot of naval combat strategy. (Chicago Sun-Times)
"[T]he filmmakers have build an unexpectedly sincere salute to the awesome responsibilities of today's U.S. Navy as well as to the heroic work of veterans who came before." -- Grade: B+ (Entertainment Weekly)
