Battleship — like you’ve never seen it before

I’m so confused. Where are all the little white and red pegs?

 

I dunno, this movie looks like it might be fun. I have no idea why they decided to base it on the board game though, unless Hasbro is footing the bill for it. The trailer makes it look like a cross between Top Gun and the Transformers, certainly not what I expected, which would have been this…

What do you think? Will this movie sink or swim?

    Brian,

    I saw that teaser today. I was like…this is based on the game? Wha-?!

    Then I saw Liam Neeson was in it and I was all like, “YES!” Then I saw Taylor Kitsch was in it and I was all like “SH*T”.

    Then that alien craft popped out of the ocean and armed lasers and I couldn’t help myself, I thought, “THAT is a little bit BAD ASS.”

    I’m totally stumped by this movie, but it may be so awful that it’s hilarious. It can’t be worse than Skyline. Am I right?

      Paxton, I look forward to the day when I see one of your quotes on a DVD cover. 😉
      I am totally confused over the whole tie-in aspect, but on its own, the trailer looks like it might be a fun popcorn movie.

    I haven’t seen the trailer until just now and I have to say I’m a little confused. It obviously has nothing to do with the board game other than the name. Looks like Hasbro is just footing the bill for merch rights.
