You sunk my giant…alien…sub…what?

In their attempt to further destroy everyone's collective childhood, Universal as released a teaser trailer today that completely baffles me. And yes it's game related...sorta...

Watch this trailer then, once you stop punching things, return.

Yes, that Pearl Harbor meets Transformers (a mash-up in Michael Bay's most stimulating of dreams) piece of what is this I don't even is supposed to be Battleship. As in the board game, yes. Now please describe to me how what you saw right there has anything to do with this:

Words fail me.

  1. It’s got Liam Neeson in it, though that probably won’t be enough to make me go see it.

  2. I wanted a battleship movie to have two officers with boards, and red/white pegs calling shots, and then the enemy would radio “hit” or “miss”, and the boats couldn’t move, and they would have red/white markers on ‘em.

    I clicked the link, read the blurb and just couldn’t bring myself to watch.

    First of all, what the hell did I just watch? Did they just attempt to base a $200 million production… on a board game? Second, do they actually plan to stretch out that story for two whole hours? And finally, WHY IS THERE AN ALIEN SHIP!?

    I can’t wait to see the director’s follow-up based on Hungry Hungry Hippos. You know, with killer hippos and aliens and what not.

    What is this I don’t even….

    If this wouldn’t take it itself SO seriously it would easily be confused with one of those fake-trailers like the one for Minesweeper – The Movie a few years ago.

    Well, I can see no relationship to a board game……

    BUT

    Aliens & Battleships … AWESOME !! :)

    If you look at the ‘missiles’ the giant robot shoots out closely, turns out they are shaped like the pegs. pretty funny i guess. this is idiotic ~,~.

  9. I had an idea for a fake “Battleship: The Movie” trailer about two years ago (follow the links here for my stick figure storyboard: http://yngemar.wordpress.com/2011/06/25/an-idea-for-a-movie-trailer/). Two reasons I didn’t go anywhere with it?
    1) I thought the concept was so clearly a ridiculous joke that two minutes of snickering was all it deserved.
    2) I didn’t have compromising pictures of Liam Neeson with which to blackmail him into starring in my imagination-bereft farce.
