Peter Berg (Hancock) produces and directs Battleship, an epic-scaled action-adventure that unfolds across the seas, in the skies and over land as our planet fights for survival against a superior force. Inspired by Hasbro's classic naval combat game, Battleship stars Taylor Kitsch as Lt. Alex Hopper, a Naval officer assigned to the USS John Paul Jones; Brooklyn Decker as Sam Shane, a physical therapist and Hopper's fiancee; Alexander Skarsgard as Hopper's older brother, Stone, Commanding Officer of the USS Sampson; Rihanna as Petty Officer Raikes, Hopper's crewmate and a weapons specialist on the USS John Paul Jones; and international superstar Liam Neeson as Hopper and Stone's superior (and Sam's father), Admiral Shane.



There is no denying that this looks visually incredible, and all I expect from this film is just pure fun, nothing more. Hopefully it will deliver on those levels. Battleship is set to hit theatres on May 18, 2012.

jimoakley666- I agree. This looks more like Battle L.A.2 than anything close to the game. They're just hurting themselves in using the name IMHO.

It actually doesn't look THAT bad...but I don't think they should have called it Battleship...come up with something original.

@DoubleD, I got a whiteout too. I just played it a second time and it worked. This film looks interesting.

Looks alright. I agree with Wolvie that it'll probably just be a fun action film. But that's not a bad thing.

screw this movie, just another of the same old alien sci-fi theme that is being heavily overused lately, but just with the name battle ship slapped on it... God forbid this generation should see an actually movie about ships battling each other without fricken aliens getting involved.

Say what you want about this but its going to look great on a cinema screen...I think the scenario of the movie involves some sort of emp knocking out missles.

The movie looks interesting enough.

What I'm guessing happened was that they wanted to make a battleship game movie and at some point in the process they forgot the first intent of the movie.

So now you have a good idea and the intention of making a Battleship movie. The prudent thing would have been to separate the two.

looks fun..i'll check it out..maybe they're calling it battle ship because the ships may be the only thing with weapons big enough to fight off the spaceships..just a thought

The title is annoying and forced. It has NOTHING to do with Battleship. And it's even more annoying that some of those clips looked kinda cool.

I agree with bropous although I'll probably wait for it to hit Redbox.

Just enjoy it as a fun action movie that has two hotties in it :)
