Another short review for me, yes! Kind of to celebrate the exam today, my friends and I went to watch a movie at a nearby theater. We chose to watch Battleship. Quite a nice movie, in my opinion, it reminds me of Transformers series quite much, but this one is done at the sea. XD Well, I hope you enjoy reading it!

Obvious warning, spoilers ahead, as much as I try to keep it as superficial as possible, so do NOT read if you do NOT want to be spoiled!

In general, Battleship might not be a movie you want to watch if you seek for a strong and solid plot, but it is still an enjoyable movie. With all the effects and characterization, the plot becomes more lively compensating for the standard flow of the plot.
