    • Trivia
      USS Iowa (BB-61), commissioned in 1943, is referred to as "Big Stick". This nickname was applied to USS Iowa for its role as the Big Stick of the Pacific during WWII. USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN-71) commissioned in 1986, is also nicknamed Big Stick for TR's well known quotation.
    • Goofs
      The aircraft carrier sunk a the beginning of the movie was a Nimitz class carrier. The USS Enterprise is not part of that class and does not look like the ship shown.

    It's bad but I've seen worst
    There can be many bad things to say about the film after watching Act of Valor and Battleship over the past few months. To list a few: stereo type navy seals, poor CGI and special effect, inaccurate uniform on non-essential roles, poor research on weapon systems on board...etc. However given the lack of budget for this movie it is an understandably foreseeable outcome.

    Overall I think it can be worst, especially if you have seen Moby Dick (2010) in the past. At least the movie is shooting on board the real battleship rather than some mock up set inside a studio. For that I'd given the movie an extra star.

    Rating 2/10. Pretty bad movie, special effect and storyline, however at least you get to see the real Iwoa Class Battleship.
