Derek Charette I see a lot of comments of people saying not to watch this movie. I would have to disagree with them. I actually recommend this movie to "movie buffs", and people who love movies. Why, you ask? Well, yes it is a horrible, horrible movie. However, movies are designed to entertain for the most part. I will admit, that this movie is surprisingly void of boring scenes that make us wonder, "When will this movie finally be over?!". That is the only reason I even gave it 2 stars. Otherwise, this movie is absolute trash, but somehow, it kept me entertained. A lot of the acting is terrible. The wardrobes are especially HORRIBLE.. and I mean HORRIBLE! Aside from the traditional brown military uniforms for ranked officers, the uniforms for the crew are so terrible, that I would liken them to props used in a middle school play. They were wearing plain old blue baseball hats and plain red and blue sweaters and shirts that look like they just came off a Wal-Mart shelf. They still have the wrinkles in them that clothes have when they have been sitting on a shelf for sale before they are washed. They didn't even take the time to attempt to make their clothing look used in the very least. The props are also horrible. Not a single prop looks like military grade at all. The visual effects and audio are some of the worst I have ever seen. The continuity is horrible. The men playing the Navy seamen look about as far away as being a Navy seamen as possible.. and especially the "SEALS". They were either little skinny guys or overweight. The hair of some of the male actors was too long and would not even be within military guidelines. This movie looks like it was produced and directed by people that lacked even the basic knowledge of the military. Like I said, this movie is HORRIBLE, but SO HORRIBLE that I believe it would actually entertain a movie buff for that reason!

rpinion This would be a great movie if Mystery Science Theater 3000 were still around! My wife and I played Servo and Crow. No Mike Nelson.This would be a great movie if Mystery Science Theater 3000 were still around! My wife and I played Servo and Crow.

christopher-cole83 This is the type of movie that reminds us of what made the low-budget science fiction movies of the 50's and 60's so memorable. Poor acting, cliché'd dialogue, not so special effects. "American Warships" isn't great cinema in any sense of the word, and yes it was put together to cash in on the blockbuster "Battleship", but honestly the movie is enjoyable in its own right. It has in it the elements that have made those other movies so memorable.The plot is something sort of like "Battlestar Gallactica", in that an older warship that isn't as technically integrated and is being turned into a museum is called into action when a sudden and unprovoked attack by forces from another world decide they want to take over.While the plot has been used (what good "bad" science fiction movie doesn't borrow a cliché'd plot), the pacing is actually good, and there aren't many areas where the action tails off into boredom. Overall, the acting is not great. Some of it might not even qualify as good or competent. But again, this was made to cash in on the big hit of the summer. And it isn't so terrible that it isn't watchable, much like 1950's science fiction.The weakest point of the movie is by far the special effects. The obvious use of the same shots over and over and over again became a bit repetitive, and stock footage was certainly overused, yet this is what made those "so bad they're good" movies that way. I don't believe that those who have negatively reviewed this film really understood what was being done here. It's not great, but it is so bad it's good, and this classic science fiction fan enjoyed it.

Nick Damian Realistically, this movie was horrible on so many fronts, I can't even count.From downright insane graphic effects to bad green screen work, sloppy camera work and editing, over-dramatic performances and glances, needless pausing during dialogue, sets that are far from real and so much more.It was so zany and insane that I had an absolute laugh.I recently watched Battleship and disliked that movie as opposed to this. This was purposely bad, done on a fraction of a budget and it entertained.Is it the best movie ever? Hell no! Don't even think to expect that. This has more cheese than a pizza loaded with cheese and topped with extra cheese sprinkled after taken out of the oven.This was pure mush and anybody who fails to realize this should stick to watching over-hyped blockbuster failures with huge budgets and stories that suck, but don't make you laugh, but just pisss you off.This movie was bad...very bad, and for that fact, it was simply very good at being bad.
