Pete Berg’s ‘Battleship’ Attacks Super Bowl With 60-Second Spot
This is a new 60-second spot for Peter Berg’s Battleship, which opens internationally in April and in the U.S./Canada on May 18th. Liam Neeson, Taylor Kitsch, Alexander Skarsgard, Brooklyn Decker and Rihanna star in this Universal sci-fi actioner written by Erich Hoeber and John Hoeber:

Is this the trailer for BATTLESHIP or TRANSFORMERS 4????
Thanks for the preview. Will definately not waste time nor $$ to see this.
Damn. I was really waiting to hear the line, “You’ve sunk my battleship.” This looks horrible.
i dont remember aliens in the board game ??
Why is everyone here so snarky! This looks awesome…and way better than Avengers and Johnnie Carter did tonight. Good job Uni
I’m snarky because I’ve resigned myself to seeing the same old, hackneyed stuff when I go to see a romantic comedy or a war movie or a western. But with science fiction, I still hope to see something fresh and original that stretches my imagination and shows me new possibilities. Science fiction is supposed to be the genre of ideas.
So when I see something highly original, or even something with a fresh take on an old idea–like Limitless or Daybreakers or In Time, I’m pretty happy. At least somebody *tried* to show me something fresh and imaginative. Their effort might not have been 100% successful, but I believe it was genuine.
But Battleship is such a crass grab for cash. They took the name of a board game and grafted it onto a collection of cliches swiped from science-fiction movies.
Actually, I’m not offended by the grab for cash. I don’t blame studios for behaving like studios. They’re there to make money, not create art. What really bothers me is the legions of brain-dead sheep who will all stampede to go see it on opening weekend precisely BECAUSE it is exactly like the last blockbuster they saw.
That makes me snarky.
God, I love you.
Hobbits! This movie needs less Rihanna (she acts?) and more Avengers! Battlefield LA is way better than this flick!
Looks like a compendium of cliches from recent earth-invasion movies. We have the discovery of the buried/submerged invading ship from The Thing, Aliens vs. Predators, and the most recent War of the Worlds, the giant floating weapons crackling with some sort of fiery energy from Transformers, the grunts throwing themselves at it from Battle Los Angeles, the tough-talking female Hispanic soldier/tech who goes all the way back to Aliens, and the young ensign/private/ whatever lower rank thrust into command when the Captain is killed in the initial skirmish from the most recent Star Trek.
They’ve come here for our box-office dollars. I wish I could predict that they would be routed and sent back to their invading solar system empty-handed, but I sadly, I believe they will instead leave with their wallets bulging.
The more they show the worse it looks. Did Peter Berg just bend over and not even try to do something original? A good director would have told Hasbro the movie comes before the toys.
Good director or bad… they do not write this stuff nor approve the budgets, etc. Let’s give Peter some credit.
Best super bowl spot by FAR!
Pearl Harbor meets Roland Emmerich!
Is this the worst writing you’ve ever seen, folks?
You obviously didn’t see Green Lantern.
I didn’t see any writing.
Wow this looks terrible! The best thing in this trailer was Liam Neeson.
Hate to admit it, but I think it’s going to do well.
I feel the same way.
I’ve seen this already! Trans 1 2 3. Battle L.A. Skycrap or whatever that was. This is not the game I played as a kid. This is a dumb money grab rehash let’s pound them with bullshit alien nonsense and fx. no thanks.
Wow. Who knew flat, compressed mechanical clicks and hisses, mixed w digital gain w distortion panning from right to left would become the mark of a Hasbro film?? Same shit IN every Transformers film / trailers (see opening credits) and that shit is on GI Joe in spots.
So fucking formulaic, I’ve just puked the letters “Rental” right on to the kitchen floor.
This whole movie is cynical lowest common denominator pandering at its finest. It reeks of contempt for its audience. It’s almost admirable in how it pisses on them. “Here’s a big bowl of crap. Eat it, and love it.”
I’m kinda puzzled how/why this is a “Super Bowl” spot, in that it appears to be the same trailer I’ve seen in theaters and at screenings for several weeks. (Looked like crap all those times, too)
What, running it on TV was the big “improvement?”
How’s that Monopoly movie going, Hollywood? Any *chance* of an alien invasion in that story too?
Battleship and J.I. Joes are just a giant turds. I love scifi, but after watching first J.I.Joes(first 40 minutes, could not handle any more) I had to take some break from watching scifi. These movies are how imagination of youth is killed, turning potential fans in return for quick buck.
Aliens vs. the Navy? I guess I have been playing Battleship the wrong way all these years!
You know what I’d love to see more than this ‘film’? The look on the Comcast executives face when Universal tell them they spent SEVEN MILLION DOLLARS on this woeful trailer.
No one was talking about Battleship before the Superbowl. And $7m later still no one is talking about this ‘film’.
Good job everyone.
Haha. This movie is AWESOME! After Transformers 1 – 3, the studio braintrust got together and said, “What can we do to make twice as much money with half the effort?” Voila! Here’s your answer.
I read your silly posts on this silly website, and do you know what? I DON’T CARE!!! This movie will make a CAJILLION dollars what with stupid teenagers wanting to see explosions, and aliens, and Brooklyn Decker. It will RULE the international market like Genghis Khan and his Mongol hordes! I will be SWIMMING in hundred dollar bills and living like a rap star! hahahah.
**But seriously, though… Please watch the movie. I’m scared I might lose my job if this movie bombs.**
