I did see it a long time ago - I like mind Battleship all that much, I thought
it was better than Prometheus. But to get real now you gotta get to something
like Minority Report which I liked very much.
There is one called Battle Los Angles - kind of a similar plot deal to
Battleship in that invading aliens are beat down by some US Marines, but I
liked it mainly cause I like Aaron Eckhart who stars.
and Battleship was a Hasbro movie, as was Transformers and GI Joe. Damn, wish I
still had my GI Joes from the 1960's.

Grave robbers form outer space? Of course! it's a classic but not to be taken
all that seriously.
Did you see Ed Wood, the biopic by Tim Burton? If you haven't it's a must. His
best film by far.

I tried to watch it - man was it awful! Lame acting and RIDICULOUSLY bad

It might vie for worst sci fi film with that god awful Prometheus.
Prometheus was abysmal. And worse than just being a bad film with a tired
cliche in every frame it completely undermined the first Alien film which is
still marvelous. What was Ridley Scott thinking!
But maybe the new Terminator film will give it a run for it's money. There was
a great film that surely didn't need a sequel, but it got one that made no
sense at all and, once again, undermined the original. I don't know why people
rate T2 at all. Better special effects probably. But the series went rapidly
downhill, the last one with Christian Bale was dreadful, all those cheesy
references to dialogue in the first film made me want to scream "Make it stop!"
but I was in a cinema and was probably in a minority anyway. People must love
those references or they wouldn't always do them right?
Worst sci-fi movie I have ever seen must be Battleship. It isn't really sci-fi
but people will think it is because it's got big robots in it. It's more
accurately described as an advert for America's values and it's endless fight
against the nameless terrors that threaten the safety of the American way of
life.
Been a lot of films like that recently. Aliens with no backstory, stopping the
hapless residents from going about their business, I don't know why they don't
just call the monsters Ayrabh's or Gheehadees or something as they aren't
fooling anyone. One thing they get wrong though is that the aliens they come up
against are always highly organised and technologically advanced, unlike
America's real enemies. Go figure...

I watched "Jupiter Ascending" lastnight. It's a "tentpole movie." IOW,
something the Wachowski'sdid to get funding for projects they really want to
do. It's avery basic story, sorta a takeoff on Cinderella (if you get
thehomage). Lots of temporary employment for CG artists.

Jupiter Ascending got badreviews, and I found it good enough to watch two
timesalready. All kinds of production values and new techconcepts.
It Follows is a rude slap in the face comparatively. Turns out it is simply a
"see girls in underwearrunning" flick.....AND THAT'S IT. It's got about
twentythings that piss ya off: characters going into darkplaces alone, being
too dumb to find practical help, andendlessly starting the fucking movie over
and over againwith the same exact scenario: waiting for IT, and thenrunning.
Just trying to save ya getting emotionally ripped off.
Worse part of the film is that IT DOES DELIVER with a lotof good
qualities....gets ya expecting a LOGICAL andREASONABLE film, cuz, you know,
good money and minds werebehind this film.
But shit.
