BattleShip

A contemporary  science fiction movie of good versus evil.

Theme: Human ingenuity wins against superior alien technology and firepower.

Where seen: Qantas economy on the way to Singapore.

Audience: Other Qantas passengers from teenagers to young adults.

Sound: Sony noise cancelling headphones.

Activity: chair abdominal crunches, yoga postures modified for air plane chair, aerobic cycling in chair.

Multitasking: It is not possible to work by writing or reviewing articles while watching this action packed movie. Have to use pause button whilst reading or writing on computer in front of movie. Pause again while meal service is being provided by Qantas cabin crew.

Liked: Lots of gung ho action with true dogged determination to bring down the bad aliens. Nice touch to pit Japanese against USA in navel manoeuvres in Hawaii. Then bring Japs and Yanks together to fight the aliens. Gotta be a good thing there extending the brotherhood of man.

Ideal audience: Teenage boys or sons who are celebrating a sporting or physical achievement.

Not ideal: Glorifies war
