Considering that it's based on a board game of all things, I think the movie was pretty enjoyable.

board game? whoa! Watched the movie several times, never knew about the board game.!

[@likeorasgod]

When it came out one of my buddies that is none military was like, "Your prob going to have a lot of issues with it." Cause I served in the Navy. I actually didn't cause I knew it was based on a board game and while a lot of it was so silly and stupid. Like the CWIS of all ships would be putting an iron current up against all those charge missles it fired not just one ship. The other thing I thought was totally silly was where the hell they get the powder for the battle ship guns? LOL I did think it was kick arse when the old dude said that but again I went in with the whole mind set this is a board game movie, not a real experience style movie.

"It's your ship sir" "Give me an ordef sir" *Proceed to dispute and question every order he gives*

[@codenamejinza]

Let's be honest, every order he gave except the last one was compromised based on his emotions. He was essentially going on a suicide run in a single-minded mission of revenge. The problem with that, of course, is that he's not alone and, as leader, he's responsible for everyone on his ship and other sailors on the water, for the that matter. Hence why his two friends disputed him the whole way: he wasn't in the right state of mind, therefore his 'orders' were compromised.

@@elemental7726 why sling lead from 10 miles away to decent effect when you can annihilate any target from 100 miles away with no risk to yourself save for other missiles. It's not as cool to look at or aa exhilarating to do but it's definitely more effective

[@eliaspeter7689]

This movie is like Pacific Rim. I like it, but it's not a good film, yet it has so many cool stuff going on inside and I've seen far worse films, so they're actually good films. I hope you could follow.

[@vortozan5395]

I love this movie more every year that passes

[@xXManxAxPartXx]

It's a confusing movie imo...the aliens are like "just let us do our thing and we will leave you alone, attack and you die"

[@DF-rx5mg]

The most realistic scene is when "The Chief!" snatches up that Junior Officer (LT) and gets in his ass! Hooyah Chief!

[@JustRememberWhoYoureWorkingFor]

at the end, when the human ship cancels the attack on the alien ship, the aliens retract their weapons, even though they could have easily destroyed that human ship. this shows the aliens aren't THAT bad.

[@Lorijenken]

jeez has it really been 11 years since this came out..

[@Masada1911]

Shocking I know

[@TheSighphiguy]

TK gets a bad rap in most of his flicks. this was an EXCELLENT popcorn movie. I enjoyed it thoroughly from beginning to end. John Carter was the best sci-fi movie of the 21st century so far, and no one went to see it. guy cant catch a break!

[@MonoMan1]

The CWIS is so gimped in this movie. It's capable of taking out much faster moving missiles at much great ranges. These bombs being lobbed at the ship would be a breeze for a CWIS to handle. Maybe not the second wave given how many came in, but certainly the first wave would've been easy.

[@ctaber2011]

Ya my brother operated (oversight) on the CWIS and he said it would have destroyed the first volley.

[@Gasssolo]

On manual fire control? It seems their targeting was down, yet we don't see an operator firing the CIWS manually, weird. I The targeting computer is obviously faster and yeah, a tightly grouped first volley would probably be defeated. Combine this with evasive maneuvers, they had a fighting chance, as these projectiles were unguided, slow, and fired in an arch. They should've been able to evade at range. Of course they had no weapons to put even a dent on the enemy ships.

[@KoishiVibin]

Gun based close defence is weird. Ever see that one of a phalanx intercept test versus a slow moving drone?

[@patton9696]

and they are in action only once... because the plot requires it.

[@pangyarlee510]

Yep, phanlanx probally terminated these projectiles

[@benjaminz8163]

The part where the first destroyer got blown up feels similar to when you land a perfect broadside salvo in WoWS with a ton of citadel hits

[@Me-ed8po]

Essentially the LT is responsible for 400+ sailors dying and losing two ships.

They can travel through space/galaxies...yet their weapons are projectile base!!

[@alocassia]

Still pretty powerful nonetheless

[@joshuateoh8966]

Their war machines look naval based. Their biology also looks like they live in a wet based planet. I dont know much about science but I have a feeling large plasma or laser based weapons would be useless underwater. But yea I also agree with the fact they didnt have it since they do tend to surface a lot.

[@jonraybon8582]

The wiki says they were mining charges, repurposed as weapons. Just as one might think, these aliens were not outwardly hostile, and were fleeing their destroyed homeworld; seeking refuge, but not invading.

[@alaskancoppertop]

I haven't seen the movie in forever, so I don't remember (plus, I'm not sure how Navy Ship's Chain of Command works compared to Army), but maybe he wasn't 3rd. They specified that the CO and XO were gone, but there may have been other senior officers above him that were also killed.

[@scottys1423]

If memory serves, his Zodiak style boat was launched from the first destroyer sunk, the one with his brother on it. He was picked up by another ship that suffered damage and numerous casualties as well. He would have no idea, at that moment, that the captain was dead and who was in command.

[@Bruhsound4.0]

you know a ship or person is important to the plot when the aliens never barrage the ship with all it their ordinance

I love to see how other alien battleship perform, hopefully not just throwing alien genrade Edit: I think these are just scout or destroyer at best

[@destroyer1667]

Afaik, the alien ships are actually just miners and explorers. They didn't come to earth to invade, they just crash landed there and then tried to capture an antenna array on an island to call in a rescue team (this is why they don't shoot at things that aren't actively a threat to them). Most likely, these ships aren't even designed to fly in the atmosphere and are just improvising with their landing gear to jump around and use their asteroid mining charges as weapons. It's like if a group of modern miners with nothing but power drills stranded on an island with stone age tribes on it.
