So Battleship trailer

Aerozord · 04-03-2012, 12:24 PM

Watching youtube, and it popped up

All I have to say is, I have absolutely nothing to say. Yea I know we aren't supposed to just post links but reason I felt compelled to share is that was the most incomprehensible trailer I had ever seen. It looked like a cliche alien invasion movie, but from the sea, so we need to use the navy instead of the airforce, maybe?

It felt like a weird combination of Transformers and Battle: LA.

Just saw it too, and I'm not really sure what to make of it. I might see it in the theater if any of my folks are interested, but I'll probably hold off on it.

OK, now that it's out, and someone's seen it, I need to ask a question. This is important.

Does someone, at some point in the movie, scream "You sunk my battleship!"? If so, does he preface it with something like "You alien bastards,"?

What I can't figure out is, whose battleship does the title refer to? It certainly isn't the US's. Our last battleships were decommissioned in 1992.

Battleships are entirely obsolete.

Tight close-up of Liam Neeson with all the sound muted until he says, "By god, you sunk my battleship..."

You know what's even more strange than the concept of this movie?

...Rihanna.
Appearing as an actress.
In the same movie as Liam Neeson.

Also why has Neeson been in such crap movies lately
He totally has the chops to just deny anything but AAA offers

Ever since his wife died, the man just doesn't seem to want to stop working. Make of that what you will.

This will be the greatest bad movie ever made.

I mean it starts off looking like Naval Top Gun, suddenly aliens and then it rounds things off by revealing it is based on Battleship, the board game.

Also Liam Neeson!

Agreed. It's totally impossible to take seriously. I'm almost hoping it has shitty War On Terror commentary woven into the story, just to make it even more ridiculously overblown.

Now I'm going to make up ridiculous taglines for it.

"They sunk our battleships... So we sunk into despair."

"You'll get that sinking feeling."

"They fired everything... but the kitchen sink."
