Mary and I are sci fi movie freaks. We love The Avengers, Spiderman, Batman, on and on and on, and we will make every effort to see each version as often as possible this summer.
BUT!!
There is a movie that doesn't have the large following of an already committed fan base, and doesn't have men and women that have been transformed by technology or the gods or evolution into super heroes that is losing money AND IT SHOULDN'T.
That movie is BATTLESHIP.
Mary and I saw it this week for the first time. THE VERY NEXT NIGHT we went again.
The movie shows how ordinary men with very real limitations go up against an enemy with superior fire power.
Great moments? When the museum piece battleship The Missouri is put back into service, manned by both American and Japanese sailors (inspiring in itself, two former enemies working together) and aided by the very necessary old veterans who are the only ones who know how to run the old girl.
Great moments? When a discouraged amputee vet finds himself called back into service man to man against a very foreign invader.
Mary and I will get back to the other summer block busters. As soon we've seen Battleship a few more times.
