Same. I had never watched an intelligent whale beat the shit out of a battleship, but that's what I got and I'm excited for more.

Sometimes I just want epic adventure and these movies always deliver for me lol.

The ship itself was also a highlight for me. Only a tech nerd like Cameron would think to make a ground effect vehicle for hunting alien whales.

Battleship? It was a lightly armed whaling ship. An 18 inch shell would fuck up Tilkun's day.

It does bring up an interesting question. Like, how many sperm whales would it take to sink the U.S.S. Iowa?

If we have enough people asking this very specific question, I'm sure we could convince the Mythbusters to come back in like a decade.

The whale was awesome (Tulkan?). Really all the sea creatures that we got to see were so vibrant and cool

That whale’s redemption and revenge arc was the best part of the movie.

James Cameron got mad at anyone who called it a whale lol
