Battleship was supposed to explain the background behind the game but I feel that it only demonstrated the gameplay towards the end of the movie. The alien battleships were highly detailed weapons of war. The environments were a mix of real footage of military bases around Hawaii taken during the shooting period and fully CG environments with some photos used as reference.
The biggest challenge faced by the Industrial Light & Magic VFX team was the scene where everyone had to abandon the battleship which was falling apart bit by bit. The team had to find out about the internal parts of a ship and had to model every single piece of debris falling off from the sinking ship. After doing so, they composited the footage of the actors jumping off a ship in a studio with green screens. I feel that this is the most complex shot in the whole movie and ILM has once again lived up to their widely famous reputation.
