5.9When mankind beams a radio signal into space, a reply comes from ‘Planet G’, in the form of several alien crafts that splash down in the waters off Hawaii. Lieutenant Alex Hopper is a weapons officer assigned to the USS John Paul Jones, part of an international naval coalition which becomes the world's last hope for survival as they engage the hostile alien force of unimaginable strength. While taking on the invaders, Hopper must also try to live up to the potential that his brother, and his fiancée's father—an Admiral—expect of him.

Article
Battleship is a 2012 American military science fiction action film loosely based on the board game of the same name by Hasbro. The film was co-produced and directed by Peter Berg and written by Jon and Erich Hoeber. It stars Taylor Kitsch, Alexander Skarsgård, Brooklyn Decker, Rihanna in her feature film debut, Tadanobu Asano, Hamish Linklater and Liam Neeson. The film follows the crews of a small group of warships as they are forced to battle against a naval fleet of extraterrestrial origin in order to thwart their destructive goals.
Battleship premiered at the Yoyogi National Stadium in Tokyo on April 3, 2012, and was released by Universal Pictures in the United States on May 18. The film received generally negative reviews and flopped at the box-office, grossing $303 million worldwide against a production budget of $209–220 million, losing both Universal and Hasbro $150 million and making it one of the biggest box-office bombs of all time.
