A light-in-the-loafers action flick with pretensions of becoming a serious drama, "Battleship" is half of a decent summer movie. The second hour, in which Navy sailors go toe-to-toe with some evil creatures from outer space, is entertaining in a carefree way, even if it is totally preposterous. It ends with them pulling a retired World War II battleship out of retirement to turn its big guns on the alien ships — which can fly but for some reason stay entirely over the ocean, making for convenient targets.
