Liam Neeson's 131-Minute Sci-Fi Action Thriller That's "Better Than Transformers" Lands on Netflix

Nearly 15 years after its 2012 release, the big-budget sci-fi action thriller Battleship has landed on Netflix, according to the report. Directed by Peter Berg and starring Liam Neeson as Admiral Terrence Shane, the film centers on the U.S. Pacific Fleet coming under alien attack. The cast also includes Taylor Kitsch, Alexander Skarsgård and Rihanna. Battleship grossed $303 million worldwide, but its reported $200+ million production and marketing costs left it as a disappointment. Critics were harsh, with a 33% Rotten Tomatoes rating, though Roger Ebert praised it, calling it “better than Transformers.”
