Quoted: I liked it, some of the plot didn't make much sense, not enough fleeing refugees for example. You don't evac an entire metropolis with a couple of Huey's in a single morning. The scene where they use a slide projector as a laser designator is my favorite. How the alien ships flew is another. Same flight method they used for the Star Wars program's satellite interceptor. View Quote I can see the Hollywood exec making the original pitch - “what about Black Hawk Down but with aliens” |

Big fan of the movie. I went to see it in the theater. Sure there are a few goofy things but then it is just lots of aliens getting killed by Marines and that made me happy.

Quoted: So, the Marines have this one as their recruiting commercial and the Navy has Top Gun, which one for the Air Force . . . ? View Quote Transformers (2007) Transformers 1 Qatar Battle Scene AC130 A10 Warthog | HD |

View Quote Good nomination! I was thinking StarGate |

Quoted: So people still rip the piss out of this movie or has it finally got some of that Starship Troopers like cult vibe behind it? I watch it at least a couple of times a year and love it, the action scenes are superb! View Quote It's an awesome movie. I watch it a lot as well. |

One thing I have a hard time getting over is how effective small arms is against the aliens. I mean, these things traveled here millions of light years and their armor can't even stop M855

I like to think Battleship is a companion piece to Battle: Los Angeles.
I can't watch one, without the other. |

Love that movie. I watched it a few weeks back with the M16A4 clone it inspired me to build.

Quoted: A little overly dramatic at times but I still like. I like battleship too. The scene where they prep the boat while AC/DCs playing rocks View Quote Attached File |

Quoted: I think for the most part people like the movie. Usually gets many more positive responses on here than negative. Hell we have members who think Lord Of The Rings is horrible. ETA Speaking of LOTR. Supposed to be coming back to theaters in June. View Quote No shit? That is awesome! I remember sitting in the theater when the lights went down, then the opening theme music started. One of the most memorable movie experiences ever for me. |

Quoted: So... what was up with the Giant Laser Designator that looked like it was plugged into some external power source? I know that Ground based Laser Designators exist for Forward Air Controllers, but just not sure how "portable" that big old gizmo or the power source / battery to run it would it was but it definitely was a plot point for the big finale.

I was down at Camp Minden when they were filming this in Shreveport, they used a shit ton of equipment from LANG.
(On a side note, they filmed Private Valentine: Blonde and Dangerous at the same time) |

In the scene where they are fighting on the overpass, the alien infantry are bringing up that walking cannon. It appears to be malfunctioning and the aliens are kicking it and you just know they are cussing supply and maintenence and being issued junk equipment just like any human infantry would. I enjoyed the simple stuff that was written in to it like that.

I LOL'd at how they immediately send off 3/4 of the Platoon, while keeping the PL and PSG with the 1/4 ("One squad and a Machinegun Team") to deploy out on a Random Task.
Something tells me the Company CO had trust issues.... BTW, the Machinegun Team never appears on screen. RIP, guys. |

What I recall is that I have enjoyed it a few times. I don't own a LOT of digital movies - but apparently I have purchased this one. Guess I will watch it again.
