Battleship

We decided to watch this movie in short notice. It was unplanned. But it was a good movie :)
From the title, you can guess that this movie is about war.

The movie was directed by Peter Berg and stars Taylor Kitsch, Alexander Skarsgård, Brooklyn Decker, Rihanna, Liam Neeson, and Tadanobu Asano.

It started with a guy (Alex Hopper) who celebrated his 26th birthday but didn't have a stable job.
He is a guy who just follows his instinct and very bad in decision-making. He was childish, but he has a good heart and a lot of potential. So, he was enrolled in Navy by his brother to do something good and beneficial for him.

In the mean time, there were some researchers who wanted to send signals to other planets to see if there is another planet that we could live in. Apparently, it was a bad idea. The signal was received, and in turn, they came to the earth with an army.

Back to the navy, while they were in the sea, there were 5 strange things landed on the sea. Navy tried to attack, and 2 out of 3 ships lost to the alien ship. Alex's brother was one of them who died.

That incident, made Alex the most senior navy, who had to make decision for others on how to attack this alien. Alex was scared, realised that he is now in charge of people's lives.

Throughout this battle, there are some points to learn:
1) We need others. We can't do a battle alone, we will lose.
2) We need strategy. Think before act. Think of others.
3) Trust must be earned. You have to prove that you can be trusted. It is not something that is given freely.
4) Maximising potential. If you know what you are good at, something that you can do, you have to do it!

About the stars:
Taylor Kitsch, the main actor, is the one who plays as John Carter.
Oh my... he is so handsome! Hahahaha....
I can't believe that Brooklyn Decker is only 25 years old and has married for 3 years!
Liam Neeson... there's no need to describe him as he is as always, awesome :)
And Rihanna, she was cool! She could act pretty well! :)
Oh yes, last but not least, there is Peter MacNicol who plays a small part as the Secretary of USA.

I enjoy watching this movie :)
