it is unrealistic 10 dudes struggling t o cary 230 kilos like they are lifting their entire weight each, in a sifi move that was the most unrealistic part, between them they would be lifting a box of confetti but they all like havign a hernia trying to move that bomb even though its 500 pounds and the islander could of carried it himself with no help

This film is the definition of a guilty pleasure. We all know it's wildly inaccurate and ridiculous, the story is predictable, and the writing/dialogue is a bit ropey at times. But god damn if it isn't fun to watch. Casting the real life veterans was a genius move and they all nailed their part to perfection. One of my absolute favorite "turn your brain of" films.
Yes the film is like an old truck you grabbed out of the scrapyard to put into a showroom or a museum. It looks nice and it’s satisfying to have, but don’t try driving it or you’ll be in for a hard time lol.
Actually, the biggest logical mistake is fact that aliens are morons, I am not expert on military tech, but I am pretty sure that they couldn't fire those missiles without GPS, and using those buoys was smart solution to the problem, it is the reason why they dont blow up aliens instant they start being aggresive, they targeting just doesn't work with alien ships, probably some stealth materials.
My grandfather was an engineer on an active WW2 sub so my dad has always been into anything having to do with the Navy. I showed him this scene and he was like an excited little kid! Favorite part was the anchor-drift into a perfect broadside. 😊 So badass!
i would be laughing my ass off hardcore because battleships were designed to take massive amounts of damage no matter what caliber of naval guns you bring so the mighty mo would just be laughing at the aliens weapons like nothing
During the Korean War, the Iowa-class USS Wisconsin took a minor hit from a North Korean 155mm battery on shore, causing only minor injuries. In response she fired ALL NINE of her 16" guns, utterly obliterating the hillside the gun battery may have been on, jungle, and pretty much everything in that general direction. One her her escorts sent a humorous message via light signal. "Temper, temper!" That is what this movie captured so well. Hit a battleship and it will hit back very, very hard.
There's also the time when Admiral Willis 'Ching' Lee took his battleship, the Washington, and obliterated a Japanese battleship and destroyer in a matter of minutes because they were too blind to see him coming. He had his gunners on the main 16' and secondary 5' guns so well trained that they could take out spotlights on enemy cruisers. Man turned a 40k+ ton battleship into his own personal sniper rifle.
“They ain’t gonna sink this battleship, no way.” Damn that sits hard for those vets that serve, seen hell and back on those ships. So much faith and love. Damn
My guy, don’t even. First of all, if you can’t stand someone else’s words just ignore them and move on, second of all, they may or may not have served (whether that be WWII or later) but that doesn’t stop nor impede their ability and or fight to talk about and have appreciation for those who did. So just get out of here with that attitude.

Historically speaking, ww2 era battle ships and especially the carriers of today are INCREDIBLY hard to sink. Its truly amazing what even a 100 year old war ship can withstand. "Fight today, float back tomorrow" was what my navy vet grandpa always said. "You can light it up but they can still limp". Amazing.
So true. Even with modern weapons, the Iowas would be damn hard to sink. In contrast, they could easily sink any modern warship, if they got within gun range.
@@anzaca1 not even Iowa, imagine something bigger like Yamato and Musashi, their Armor should be like impossible to penetrate exept from missiles, just imagine japan building a 2022 version of the Yamato with even bigger guns, better armor, good-very good AA and anti air rocket systems like the new Izumo class carriers . . . dude that shit would be the epitome of allmightness
@@YogSothoth620 Heavy armor and battleship caliber guns are pretty dated. Even in the 1980s when the Iowas were reactivated, it was because they were 4 capital ships that the USN could mount Tomahawks on. The guns and armor were more or less an afterthought.
@@stevemc01 yeah I thought it was a genius way of incorporating aspects from the board game, my only real issue with the movie was the acting but every else was pretty good.
This movie was the definition of fun. No overcomplicated story, no political message, no remake, no sequel. Just a good old fashioned imaginative movie with badass scenes and lots of action. COOL!!
> no political message I see several political messages: 1. We value the experience of our elders alongside our youth. 2. We are willing to risk or even sacrifice our lives for the sake of our mission and people. 3. Our Navy and Army work together. 4. Our Australian allies are skilled and will come to our aid. You didn't notice them because they are anti-divisiveness political messages.
@@armorsmith43 The face that you think the first point is a political message instead of basic human decency makes me feel that there might be some issue with our moral standards here
I visited the Missouri this summer and took a tour. Very historical - but of course I had to ask the tour guide if she saw the movie Battleship. In fact when I did, about several others tour guests started asking details about the movie - how the ship was towed, camera angles, and the tour actually ended up going to parts of the ship where they filmed some of the movie. No matter what you think of this movie, the sentiment of the naval vets is likely reflective had the situation been real and were asked to exist exiting naval personnel to help. It use to be that military personnel and its veterans are very patriotic - and this movie showed that to a T.
No matter how many times it’s said or how it’s delivered whenever there is a line like: “I’m gonna die, you’re gonna die, we’re all gonna die………just not today” it gives me goosebumps. Every. Time.
It's really the only part of the movie that I watched the movie for. The rest of the movie to me was boring but just this final battle scene I come back to it for that line
It’s pretty accurate when it comes to how our ships move and fight looking at it the only real problem I see in that regard is when they are moveing the shell that would take 10 mins minimum and I’m being generous no cover fire means the other ship can aim with no interference so the ship would have been hit, now if we are talking the sailors ya that’s a total cluster fuck of what looks good over how it is
They say it's just recon ship without proper armament, that bottle and ball-like contraception is used to clearing out and demoliting mountain and rock, and ships........
Imagine being the Admiral and immediately you get word that the 3 destroyers have been obliterated, but the Missouri is engaging the last alien mothership AND it's winning! Sounds like one Hell of a story.
Captain: so admiral we lost all of our super advanced destroyers but we got this sweet battleship from a museum. Admiral: I’m sorry your gonna use WHAT? *5 minutes later* Captain: hey boss we just kicked the aliens ass Admiral: I dunno whether to smack you upside the head for breaking the Iowa or applauding you for winning with a battleship
@@kaih_the_viewer I was almost teared up while watching this. Such a large shame that Brits didn’t preserve glorious Warspite and The Big E was also disposed 😢
@@fel_zharost 1 Yeah my heart hurts knowing the carrier that participate in all major engagements in the pacific was scrapped, it should have made a museum as Halsey campained for
Love rewatching this scene. My older brother was a member of the last crew on the USS Iowa before she was retired after one of her main gun turrets exploded. 46 sailors lost their lives. My brother is still with us.
If any of you are wondering why a WWII Battleship has modern CIWS turrets on it, USS Missouri was refitted twice for use in the Korean and gulf wars, each time getting better and more modern equipment installed. Missouri was the newest and last battleship ever built, as well as the last one to be retired.
@@normaldavid Slight correction: Missouri is the last BB _commissioned_ by the U.S. Navy. The last BB _built_ by the USN is USS Wisconsin (BB-64). Work began on Wisconsin slightly less than a month after work began on Missouri, though she was complete and commissioned two months before Missouri.
As a vet, this movie still makes me smile to see one of these ships let loose, VFX or not. Watching the USS Missouri jack-knife into position from an anchor drop is just top notch baddassery. Also, anyone notice the alien mortars were shaped JUST like the red pegs from the board game!? Gotta love easter eggs like that.

@@xer0143 also its pretty decent acting but im high still my process is forget about this movie remember it enjoy it and repeat its just a badass film lol like doomguy in a sense you just accept it
"They ain't gonna sink this battleship, no way." That sailor knows the Missouri is damn near a force of nature, she won't sink until she damn well wants to. He's seen, felt, heard, and lived what she can do. That gives me a hell of a little shiver everytime I hear it.
He knows that even E.T's parents couldn't sink that american steel if they dropped a nuke in it. Funny story, they dropped a nuke on the U.S.S Nevada. Twice. And it didn't sink. So they bombarded it for 5 days with a number of ships including the Iowa. It still didn't sink. So they finally had to torpedo it and it eventually sank.
Yeah, I mean considering those pegs did like a bit of damage to the destroyers, they could fire everything they had at the Missouri, all day, and she wouldn't flinch. Honestly, if they did all of this in real life, the most damaging thing to happen to the Missouri would be the anchor turning. The pegs might bounce off. The fact that the pegs destroyed a turret can only really put down to sci-fi shenanigans - those turrets have 500mm of armour, where the destroyers have maybe 50-75mm, and a peg earlier put a hole in the side of a destroyer (and not a big one). For context on how big the turrets are, they're about as wide as the destroyer. In short, the pegs would scratch the paint, and damage the decking. Even the sphere things seen earlier in the film would probably struggle, on the basis that the destroyer slowed them down. Beyond that, the battleships of that era were nigh unsinkable by this kind of munition - consider the Bismark, which is larger, but of a similar era, and absorbed over 400 rounds and several torpedoes, and was eventually sunk by scuttling charges. The pegs are probably less effective than the shells used there, although not all those shells were full size, and Bismark is a larger ship (though the underwater damage of the torpedoes and scuttling charges would obviously dominate). Taking 500 rounds as an estimate, it would take 8 ish full salvos from their weapons, but the Missouri has 2 CIWS turrets, which could probably take 10-12 shells out mid flight, so it might take more like 10. This would take about 20 minutes if the aliens were firing at full force, which the seem to consistently fail to do, so it might take them much longer (they fired like 6 shots at the beginning, and at that rate it would take hours), and this is presuming the Missouri does not return fire. Besides all of that, the Missouri has an operation range in the many kilometres, even by visual firing only, so they would never choose to engage at this range without having to - particularly as the short range disproportionately favours the slow enemy weapons.
@@flyingace5057 I mean, ships can be impressive without making up stuff. The USS Nevada was hit by 6 bombs and one torpedo and subsequently sank in Pearl Harbour. It got salvaged, modernised and eventually decommissioned for target practice, got hit by the BLAST WAVE of the nuke "Able" (not the nuke itself), because the operator of the bomb missed the target by a mile. The second nuke "Baker" was detonated 30m below the surface of the water. As a sidenote, the german cruiser Prinz Eugen (Escort of the Bismarck when he sank the Hood) as well as the former japanese flagship Nagato were also present in those tests. The cruiser Prinz Eugen did not sink in either test - the Nagato did after the "Baker" test, by design. It was positioned within the zone that was expected to cause fatal damage, the Nevada was not. The Nagato was at around 700m, the Nevada more than 1.5 miles away. The same blast also sank the carrier USS Saratoga. Look. History is fun, and i love battleships (as should everyone else). But they're not for chest beating, usually it makes you look stupid because reality is nowhere near as brazen as the story you make up.
Funny thing is u guys calling sci fi an allien ship that traveled Inter stelar space. We cant do that because our technology is sheet..... im gonna drawn, the sci fi part is exactly that an old ship ( no matter how thick her armor is ) could destroy an Inter stelar technology enemy.... Its actually stoopid, this should be like theyr kids crackers and not military grade weapons for a civilization that broke the mistery of light travel and for sure faster! So yeah, very sci fi he saying that she wont sink and winning!
Is this the best movie ever created? No. But it’s damn good fun. I think it’s a masterpiece in its own right. The activation of the battleship and this scene is just awesome. And they used real vets, you know those guys enjoyed the hell out of it irl. All around just an awesome experience. Wish we had more movies like this.
Ikr why weren't half of them circling the carrier during this battle so when the force field came down they could have been on top of the battle in seconds
@@xadam2dudex because they couldn't tell exactly when the force field came down and it takes a bunch of steps before you are cleared for takeoff and they probably weren't prepared and flying around the carrier burns threw fuel
@@alexmason2659 They could have at least had them prepped for launch, instead of having in a parade formation and literally blocking the launch catapults.
One of my favorite movies of all time, I know that’s not a popular opinion, but I just absolutely love the navy power, and the fact that the USS Missouri was put out of dry dock and actually used in this film is amazing Note from 2024: Hey y’all just wanna say, can we all agree the vet saying “they ain’t gonna sink this ship no way” is the best line ever?
Watched it a few days ago. The whole movie is one big eye roll for me but I couldn’t help but get a semi as the Missouri sailed out. Like, “Alright fucker, let’s see how your advanced alien technology likes this 70 yr old giant fuckoff gun!!!” 😂
Can you imagine how the fighter pilots and other Navy personnel reacted when they heard that the battleship Missouri was the one that took on the alien mothership? Or how they reacted when the Missouri came back to port fresh from combat crewed mostly by the World War II vets? I really wished they showed people's reactions to that, especially the museum staff!
Agreed. The movie is by definition a popcorn flick, but nothing wrong with that. But let's be honest a scene where people actually get their moment to just take in the sight of the Missouri coming home like that would have fit perfectly into the movie as well. Shame.
Veterans are men forged of steel, due to experience and age they are not afraid of dying, they experienced worse things in World War 2, what can these aliens do to THEM can veterans fear? Let's drop some lead on those Mother- Fu&$#, I love it ❤😂
Beating a highly technological species by being a bad ass American patriot... The audience that the director had targeted are clearly not the intelligent kind.
What I love about this movie is that while there is a focus on the American military, there is also has a significant presence of our Pacific allies (Japan and Australia). It's realistic in that it's not just the United States fighting the aliens.
@@N7-WAR-HOUND I don't know if you noticed this, but in the shot of the pilot saying "locked on target," you can see that the Australian flag is on his helmet and he has an Australian accent. The Aussies actually did save our butts here.
This is a little difficult to see because it only appears once for a few seconds but they actually sent out 4 planes which is because the aircraft carrier only has 4 catapults to launch the planes with. It takes a while to set up a plane for takeoff so they only had enough time to launch one plane off of each catapult
That ship has seen all kinds of battles from Iwo Jima and Okinawa to the Korean wars, she saw more action and saved a lot of good soldiers lives, with her guns. That ship if not was one of the most mighty ships ever made by American hands, she earns her respect in the history books of warships.
True. There are movies that are not accurate and entertaining. Now that the kind of movies you wanna bash. This movie, despite the inaccuracies, got good cgi and cool explosions. And thats good enough for me
Probably my favorite part of the movie is watching the veterans do their thing. Most, if not all, of them served on that ship when it was still in active use.
Most. Some served on other battleships during World War 2. For example the sailor with Ordy on the spotter, has a *USS North Carolina (BB-55)* hat on. And that ship served in *only* one War. World War Two.
I love how the old vets give no F's and immediately jump into action. And when they got hit, that one not even freaking out about it saying they aren't sinking this battleship ain't no way.
@@ajay_constantine other than the historical stuff the movie is just ok Action is good Historical accuracy is amazing But its just based off a board game
this movie wasn't fantastic. i wont deny that. but i cant help but be in tears when watchin' the vets bring their ship back out to sea, watchin' them fight, how confident they are in it. it's hard to describe.
When you have a battleship with the experience and resilience that the USS Missouri has, add in some experienced US sailors, those aliens where vastly outnumbered in every sense of the word
There's a different between an entertaining movie, and a movie that treats audience like fools. For example, 21 Jump Street is entertaining, Beverly Hill's Cop does not. Battleship is the latter.
@Honey Hive If you need to invest time and mental into impressing people whom you don't like, just for the sake of keeping "friends" or be accept into some social group, then you're better on your own, at least that way you'll invest all to yourself on the things you like. "Friends" do not insist that you agree with their ideas, do not tease you because you don't laugh at their jokes, they do not get upset if you haven't keep in touch for a long time, and "Friends" would definitely not use the phrase "because we are friends" when they ask you for favors.
@@thegrimreaper1164 a nuke is great at wide range destruction,but when you have a solid chunk of iron 16 inches across and many more deep weighing several tons, NOTHING is going to stop it except several yards of dense earth, and even then it takes a good chunk of that to stop it.
I also loved how the aliens completely destroy turret #3 but the ship just keeps firing and steaming forwards. Battleships were built with ridiculous durability and redundant systems to handle having big parts of it blown up during combat.
@@theartoftimelapsemore424 in terms of protection, the Iowa class (along with all US fast battleships) was actually on the weaker side when you look at other WW2 era battleships. The US prioritized firepower and speed over protection. The British Royal Navy prioritized speed and protection over firepower. Each nation had their own approach there. But what we see here isn't actually that impressive. The turret armor was penetrated and the turret blew up. This is bad. And the turrets were the best protected areas of the ship, with the thickest armor. If this was real it would be really lucky that the explosion didn't ignite the magazines below, this would have blown up and sunk the entire ship and is exactly what happened to HMS Hood as well as the battlecruisers that blew up during WW1 at Jutland. For comparison, the armor of an Iowa class is 305mm belt armor and 150mm deck armor. The japanese Yamato class had 410mm belt and 200mm deck. The British King George V class had 380mm belts and 150mm decks. The French Richelieu class had a 320mm belt and a 170mm deck. Even the goddamm HMS Hood, famous for blowing up in it's engagement against Bismarck, had 305mm belt armor, the same thickness as the Iowa class (and no, it wasn't the thin deck armor that caused her sinking, when she was hit the distance between her and Bismarck was down to 14km, too close for a deck armor penetration due to the shallow impact angle, but somehow this rumor persists across the internet). Bismarck is also on the weaker side though, with a 320mm belt and only a 110mm deck. And regarding sinking a ship: in real life ships don't have health bars. So what causes them to sink? Water inside them. How do you get water inside by blowing holes in the top of the ship? You don't. You can disable battleships by shooting at them, but to sink them you need torpedo hits, or blow up their magazines which just removes that section of the ship from existence. And regarding modern tech: anti ship missiles can fuck up everything on the ship. Some lighter models may not penetrate her belt or turret armor, but some of the heavier ones definetly can. But you can easily disable them by hitting the ships superstructure, destroying bridge, radars, gun fire control, etc, resulting in the ship being a sitting duck. And in top attack mode, most anti ship missiles could penetrate the 150mm deck plating. These battleships would be easily disabled before ever getting even close to gun range, and once they are disabled by missiles they can be finished off and sunk by a submarine. No problem. Just because 1/4 of the ships side can not be penetrated by most anti ship missiles, doesn't mean these ships win a fight against a modern destroyer. And yes that is all the area covered by armor. The bow and stern are completely unprotected, and the center section is only protected around halfway up from the waterline.
I have to add, how special and great did it feel seeing those original sailors of MO. Who would have known just 70 years or so after ww11 Japan and USA would forge such a seamless friendship and political alliance.
I really loved mick, going from someone who felt useless to knowing his training will save one person. The confidence he got knowing that it was do or die really pushed him past his fears

During the Korean War, the Iowa-class USS Wisconsin took a minor hit from a North Korean 155mm battery on shore, causing only minor injuries. In response she fired ALL NINE of her 16" guns, utterly obliterating the hillside the gun battery may have been on, jungle, and pretty much everything in that general direction.
One her her escorts sent a humorous message via light signal. "Temper, temper!"
That is what this movie captured so well. Hit a battleship and it will hit back very, very hard.
Temper temper
There's also the time when Admiral Willis 'Ching' Lee took his battleship, the Washington, and obliterated a Japanese battleship and destroyer in a matter of minutes because they were too blind to see him coming. He had his gunners on the main 16' and secondary 5' guns so well trained that they could take out spotlights on enemy cruisers. Man turned a 40k+ ton battleship into his own personal sniper rifle.
It should also be mentioned that the recoil from all those guns was so powerful that it pushed the ship back quite a bit.
So the Wisconsin basically gave a " you think this is funny huh?...alright try this then" response
“They ain’t gonna sink this battleship, no way.” Damn that sits hard for those vets that serve, seen hell and back on those ships. So much faith and love. Damn

Historically speaking, ww2 era battle ships and especially the carriers of today are INCREDIBLY hard to sink. Its truly amazing what even a 100 year old war ship can withstand. "Fight today, float back tomorrow" was what my navy vet grandpa always said. "You can light it up but they can still limp". Amazing.
So true. Even with modern weapons, the Iowas would be damn hard to sink. In contrast, they could easily sink any modern warship, if they got within gun range.

@@YogSothoth620 Heavy armor and battleship caliber guns are pretty dated. Even in the 1980s when the Iowas were reactivated, it was because they were 4 capital ships that the USN could mount Tomahawks on. The guns and armor were more or less an afterthought.

I visited the Missouri this summer and took a tour. Very historical - but of course I had to ask the tour guide if she saw the movie Battleship. In fact when I did, about several others tour guests started asking details about the movie - how the ship was towed, camera angles, and the tour actually ended up going to parts of the ship where they filmed some of the movie. No matter what you think of this movie, the sentiment of the naval vets is likely reflective had the situation been real and were asked to exist exiting naval personnel to help. It use to be that military personnel and its veterans are very patriotic - and this movie showed that to a T.
No matter how many times it’s said or how it’s delivered whenever there is a line like: “I’m gonna die, you’re gonna die, we’re all gonna die………just not today” it gives me goosebumps. Every. Time.
I used to love that line too re watched many times as teenager 😂
Then the anchor hitting the ground was the cherry on top.
It's really the only part of the movie that I watched the movie for. The rest of the movie to me was boring but just this final battle scene I come back to it for that line

It’s pretty accurate when it comes to how our ships move and fight looking at it the only real problem I see in that regard is when they are moveing the shell that would take 10 mins minimum and I’m being generous no cover fire means the other ship can aim with no interference so the ship would have been hit, now if we are talking the sailors ya that’s a total cluster fuck of what looks good over how it is

If any of you are wondering why a WWII Battleship has modern CIWS turrets on it, USS Missouri was refitted twice for use in the Korean and gulf wars, each time getting better and more modern equipment installed. Missouri was the newest and last battleship ever built, as well as the last one to be retired.
I know enough about the ship to go all day with random Missouri ship facts.

As a vet, this movie still makes me smile to see one of these ships let loose, VFX or not. Watching the USS Missouri jack-knife into position from an anchor drop is just top notch baddassery. Also, anyone notice the alien mortars were shaped JUST like the red pegs from the board game!? Gotta love easter eggs like that.

The scene where the USS Missouri fires is the manliest thing in cinema.
"They ain't gonna sink this battleship, no way."
That sailor knows the Missouri is damn near a force of nature, she won't sink until she damn well wants to. He's seen, felt, heard, and lived what she can do. That gives me a hell of a little shiver everytime I hear it.
He knows that even E.T's parents couldn't sink that american steel if they dropped a nuke in it. Funny story, they dropped a nuke on the U.S.S Nevada. Twice. And it didn't sink. So they bombarded it for 5 days with a number of ships including the Iowa. It still didn't sink. So they finally had to torpedo it and it eventually sank.
LMAO
Yeah, I mean considering those pegs did like a bit of damage to the destroyers, they could fire everything they had at the Missouri, all day, and she wouldn't flinch. Honestly, if they did all of this in real life, the most damaging thing to happen to the Missouri would be the anchor turning. The pegs might bounce off.
The fact that the pegs destroyed a turret can only really put down to sci-fi shenanigans - those turrets have 500mm of armour, where the destroyers have maybe 50-75mm, and a peg earlier put a hole in the side of a destroyer (and not a big one). For context on how big the turrets are, they're about as wide as the destroyer.
In short, the pegs would scratch the paint, and damage the decking.
Even the sphere things seen earlier in the film would probably struggle, on the basis that the destroyer slowed them down.
Beyond that, the battleships of that era were nigh unsinkable by this kind of munition - consider the Bismark, which is larger, but of a similar era, and absorbed over 400 rounds and several torpedoes, and was eventually sunk by scuttling charges.
The pegs are probably less effective than the shells used there, although not all those shells were full size, and Bismark is a larger ship (though the underwater damage of the torpedoes and scuttling charges would obviously dominate).
Taking 500 rounds as an estimate, it would take 8 ish full salvos from their weapons, but the Missouri has 2 CIWS turrets, which could probably take 10-12 shells out mid flight, so it might take more like 10.
This would take about 20 minutes if the aliens were firing at full force, which the seem to consistently fail to do, so it might take them much longer (they fired like 6 shots at the beginning, and at that rate it would take hours), and this is presuming the Missouri does not return fire.
Besides all of that, the Missouri has an operation range in the many kilometres, even by visual firing only, so they would never choose to engage at this range without having to - particularly as the short range disproportionately favours the slow enemy weapons.
@@flyingace5057 I mean, ships can be impressive without making up stuff. The USS Nevada was hit by 6 bombs and one torpedo and subsequently sank in Pearl Harbour. It got salvaged, modernised and eventually decommissioned for target practice, got hit by the BLAST WAVE of the nuke "Able" (not the nuke itself), because the operator of the bomb missed the target by a mile. The second nuke "Baker" was detonated 30m below the surface of the water. As a sidenote, the german cruiser Prinz Eugen (Escort of the Bismarck when he sank the Hood) as well as the former japanese flagship Nagato were also present in those tests. The cruiser Prinz Eugen did not sink in either test - the Nagato did after the "Baker" test, by design. It was positioned within the zone that was expected to cause fatal damage, the Nevada was not. The Nagato was at around 700m, the Nevada more than 1.5 miles away. The same blast also sank the carrier USS Saratoga. Look. History is fun, and i love battleships (as should everyone else). But they're not for chest beating, usually it makes you look stupid because reality is nowhere near as brazen as the story you make up.
Funny thing is u guys calling sci fi an allien ship that traveled Inter stelar space.

I’m pretty sure that was the Missouri’s last time out running on her own but I could be wrong
Can you imagine how the fighter pilots and other Navy personnel reacted when they heard that the battleship Missouri was the one that took on the alien mothership? Or how they reacted when the Missouri came back to port fresh from combat crewed mostly by the World War II vets? I really wished they showed people's reactions to that, especially the museum staff!
Agreed. The movie is by definition a popcorn flick, but nothing wrong with that. But let's be honest a scene where people actually get their moment to just take in the sight of the Missouri coming home like that would have fit perfectly into the movie as well. Shame.

“Just like old times”
They were the Oerlikon 20 mm cannons the Missouri didn't have 50s.
Adam South but those were not oerlikons because it had no drum magazine and it was a browning mg because some ships in ww2 had them
@Sammy true
Mighty Mo casually giving the greatest old school ass whooping in cinematic history
Missouri be like: “Check out this sweet move I learned in Tokyo.”
Lol true
Nani !? kansai drifto!!
😂
Tokyo drift in background being played
I knew I wouldn’t be the only one that got Tokyo drift vibes from that move
Probably my favorite part of the movie is watching the veterans do their thing. Most, if not all, of them served on that ship when it was still in active use.
LETS DROP SOME LEAD ON THESE MOTHER-
@@witchmoonstone444 lol yup, really think they were having fun
Heroes!
Most. Some served on other battleships during World War 2. For example the sailor with Ordy on the spotter, has a *USS North Carolina (BB-55)* hat on. And that ship served in *only* one War. World War Two.
Which tour of duty WWII, Korea, or the Gulf War 🙂
Is this movie good?
No.
Does it make any sense?
No.
Do I love it?
Abso-fuckin’-lutely.
Relatable
It's so cheesy it's good.
Does it need to make sense to be good? Fuck no
And I love it is a movie were it is possible to say that the humans are the bad guys
This is one of those good bad movie
I love how the old vets give no F's and immediately jump into action. And when they got hit, that one not even freaking out about it saying they aren't sinking this battleship ain't no way.
I don't care how "terrible" this movie was I loved it. And when the old sailor yells "LETS DROP SOME LEAD ON THIS MOTHER" I get the chills.
The old man was gonna say MOTHERFUCKER
@@richarddejesus4666 no shit 😂
why do people think this movie is bad ? i loved it
@@kemonte145 it's plot is dogshit but it wasn't meant to be that. It's just meant to be a fun, badass movie and at that it succeeds
Agreed
Don't care what the critics say enjoyed the hell outta this movie.
Me too.. It was awesome!
Critics hating a movie is a good sign the movie is actually good.
Same here.
The good parts were good. The bad parts were bad
Same, I even got to see it in theaters!

If it advanced, it doesn't mean it's unbreakable. Most advanced phones can't take falling from 1 meter height. There is the same logic

The two coolest things about an otherwise kinda crap movie:
-This scene.
-They used real veterans for a ton of roles.
And some of those vets actually served on the Wisconsin
True
Crap move!? Wtf bro!?
@@ajay_constantine other than the historical stuff the movie is just ok
Action is good
Historical accuracy is amazing
But its just based off a board game
Yesssss i loved this movie soooo muchhhh
this movie wasn't fantastic. i wont deny that. but i cant help but be in tears when watchin' the vets bring their ship back out to sea, watchin' them fight, how confident they are in it. it's hard to describe.
I am SUPER biased because I watched this movie when I was around 11 years, but lemme say this: This movie IS fantastic
I was bored with the movie until half but the rest cool is af
Because it shows the resiliency, courage and ‘going to fuck you up attitude’ of the Greatest Generation. Hard times bred hard men.
An excellent tip of the hat to those brave men and women.
When you have a battleship with the experience and resilience that the USS Missouri has, add in some experienced US sailors, those aliens where vastly outnumbered in every sense of the word
I hate it when people say "That movie wasn't realistic!" I go to the movies to be entertained.....if I want realistic shit I'll go outside.
There's a different between an entertaining movie, and a movie that treats audience like fools. For example, 21 Jump Street is entertaining, Beverly Hill's Cop does not. Battleship is the latter.
@Honey Hive No, I just have a higher level of quality, unlike those who would laugh at everything mindlessly.
@Honey Hive Keep it up. It's better to have a few good friends, rather than hang around with a hundred losers.
@Honey Hive If you need to invest time and mental into impressing people whom you don't like, just for the sake of keeping "friends" or be accept into some social group, then you're better on your own, at least that way you'll invest all to yourself on the things you like. "Friends" do not insist that you agree with their ideas, do not tease you because you don't laugh at their jokes, they do not get upset if you haven't keep in touch for a long time, and "Friends" would definitely not use the phrase "because we are friends" when they ask you for favors.
Best comment !
Fun to rewatch..Love that out of the box thinking, bravery, and determination 💪🏼😊
Those aliens forgot something: “Force fields are a subscription service.”
/Daredevil BGM intensifies
I don’t care what you got, ain’t nuthin going to stop a 16 inch round coming at you.
@@nole8923 except a covenant force field I mean like it stopped a nuke my guy
@@thegrimreaper1164 a nuke is great at wide range destruction,but when you have a solid chunk of iron 16 inches across and many more deep weighing several tons, NOTHING is going to stop it except several yards of dense earth, and even then it takes a good chunk of that to stop it.
They must be from the JJ Universe Star Trek. Force Fields don't do shit there either.
1:31 Seeing those guns blasting with rock and roll music, playing never fails to bring a beautiful tear to my eye.
I also loved how the aliens completely destroy turret #3 but the ship just keeps firing and steaming forwards. Battleships were built with ridiculous durability and redundant systems to handle having big parts of it blown up during combat.
@@TheEverLivingAnth Aliens: WOOHOO! We took out a gu-why are the others turning towards the bridge.
"Let's drop some lead on those mother-FIRE!!" 😎
No way no how does modern tech, ESPECIALLY alien tech bring down a vintage battleship. ESPECIALLY NOT the USS Missouri!
@@theartoftimelapsemore424 in terms of protection, the Iowa class (along with all US fast battleships) was actually on the weaker side when you look at other WW2 era battleships. The US prioritized firepower and speed over protection. The British Royal Navy prioritized speed and protection over firepower. Each nation had their own approach there.
But what we see here isn't actually that impressive. The turret armor was penetrated and the turret blew up. This is bad. And the turrets were the best protected areas of the ship, with the thickest armor. If this was real it would be really lucky that the explosion didn't ignite the magazines below, this would have blown up and sunk the entire ship and is exactly what happened to HMS Hood as well as the battlecruisers that blew up during WW1 at Jutland.
For comparison, the armor of an Iowa class is 305mm belt armor and 150mm deck armor. The japanese Yamato class had 410mm belt and 200mm deck. The British King George V class had 380mm belts and 150mm decks. The French Richelieu class had a 320mm belt and a 170mm deck. Even the goddamm HMS Hood, famous for blowing up in it's engagement against Bismarck, had 305mm belt armor, the same thickness as the Iowa class (and no, it wasn't the thin deck armor that caused her sinking, when she was hit the distance between her and Bismarck was down to 14km, too close for a deck armor penetration due to the shallow impact angle, but somehow this rumor persists across the internet). Bismarck is also on the weaker side though, with a 320mm belt and only a 110mm deck.
And regarding sinking a ship: in real life ships don't have health bars. So what causes them to sink? Water inside them. How do you get water inside by blowing holes in the top of the ship? You don't. You can disable battleships by shooting at them, but to sink them you need torpedo hits, or blow up their magazines which just removes that section of the ship from existence.
And regarding modern tech: anti ship missiles can fuck up everything on the ship. Some lighter models may not penetrate her belt or turret armor, but some of the heavier ones definetly can. But you can easily disable them by hitting the ships superstructure, destroying bridge, radars, gun fire control, etc, resulting in the ship being a sitting duck. And in top attack mode, most anti ship missiles could penetrate the 150mm deck plating. These battleships would be easily disabled before ever getting even close to gun range, and once they are disabled by missiles they can be finished off and sunk by a submarine. No problem. Just because 1/4 of the ships side can not be penetrated by most anti ship missiles, doesn't mean these ships win a fight against a modern destroyer. And yes that is all the area covered by armor. The bow and stern are completely unprotected, and the center section is only protected around halfway up from the waterline.
Doesn't matter how unreal it is, this is one of the most epic scenes in history of cinema.
Drop the anchor !!! love that line and action that follows.
Agreed
I have to add, how special and great did it feel seeing those original sailors of MO. Who would have known just 70 years or so after ww11 Japan and USA would forge such a seamless friendship and political alliance.
@@trevormiles5852 mine is "Let's drop some lead on this motherfu- FIRE!!!!"

I was blown away by the sound effects in that scene!
I really loved mick, going from someone who felt useless to knowing his training will save one person. The confidence he got knowing that it was do or die really pushed him past his fears
He really is an army vet and really still served for years after amputation. He was the first to do so. He served 25 years achieving rank of Lt. Colonel. Truly a great american. Colonel Gregory D. Gadson.
@@codylink3991 he actually made it to Full Bird Colonel before his retirement. One heck of a dude for sure.

don't care how unrealistic this movie is, I had a blast watching it. tickled all of my naval warfare itches.
Navy pilots at the end: “Someone order some close air support? Because these guys trapped us, and we are MAD about it.”
They're Royal Australian Air Force Hornets. Check the flag on the helmet.Let alone the accent. But we;'d respond the same as the USN for our brothers.
I got 15,000 lbs of shit with your address on it
PISSED* LOL
Old Mate Boomer coming in to send em deeper down then hell
That Iowa class ship anchor drifting, gangster leaning, pointing all her guns and firing. What a very badass scene.
It would have needed that drift and lean to be firing all guns at once to port like that
The USS Texas actually did that after D-Day so they could keep on firing inland. They flooded the ship though as opposed to using the anchor
You know, Young Captain Jack Sparrow was the first one to drift with a ship...
Yeah he is a legend
Bootleg Turn.
*Gas gas gas plays*
Ha imagine if the aliens came in fukin 17th century and met jack sparrow on the black pearl GAME OVER
Captain Jack Sparrow. He is always Captain
Love this movie. This and Pacific Rim. They are either the most awesome stupid movies or the most stupid awesome movies that I've seen.
Hats off to the dudes firing their .50 cals at an alien ship annihilator. They're a little confused but they've got the right idea
Can't let the big guns have all the fun.🤷🏼♂️ Have you seen what a .50 caliber round can do?
@@baddriversofthenorcalarea500 single shot no, but a high volume might do some damage
@@D3sertGh0st especially to any form of glass/plastic
@@baddriversofthenorcalarea500 If they were aiming at the parts of the ship that were on fire from the shelling then there is a chance they could punch through and hit something that idealy should not have a big bullet tearing through it.
With the amount of BS and plot armor in this movie I will not be shocked if those .50 cals turned into nuclear weapons all of a sudden.
Everyone’s talking about this not being realistic but no one is gonna talk about how they turned the name of a *Board Game* into something entertaining?

Probably the best "fast food" movie ever. Entertaining and badass all the way. I also liked the aspect of the aliens actually being believable, really strong but not too overpowered.
I'll never get tired watching an old battleship power drift at sea followed by the most bad ass display of fire power
Fun fact, the act of dropping anchor to make a turn tighter than the rudder and keel would physically allow is called clubhauling, which is what Hopper did to drift the battleship.
“They ain’t gonna sink this battleship, no way…” *-The type of attitude that helps you win a war*
