There’s a new trailer out for the Battleship movie, and it’s…alright, I guess. The first trailer was released all the way back in July, but a quick look at the original post I made reveals that the trailer has been taken down. Thankfully, the new one seems more official, so let’s take a look, shall we?

Honestly, it just looks like a generic sort of military vs. aliens movie. I’m of two minds about this kind of project. On the one hand, I think it’s silly that Hollywood is making movies based on old board games from the 1980s. On the other hand, there’s nothing to the game Battleship to base a movie on. This is its own movie, but they’re just tacking the name ‘Battleship’ onto it for brand recognition. I’m hoping that whoever wrote this movie, wrote the best damn military vs. aliens movie they could. So I don’t think it’s a sign of lack of creativity in Hollywood. I think it’s a sign that marketing executives have no souls.
