Hmmm, looks like it could be good 'fun' to watch once, but that'll be all.

Either that or it'll be like "Skyline", which looked 'fun' in the trailers, but turned out to be utter dross in the end.

I'll wait for it's DVD release to rent it methinks.

I'm still not sure what it has to do with the game 'battleship' apart from the fact there are battleships in it.

Did you not see the 'aliens' weapons? They look like the little pegs that you got with the MB game. I have a fiver now, that says as the hero blows up the last alien ship, he yells "I've sunk your Battleship!"rolleyes

And in case you didn't know "Rock'em, Sock'em Robots - The Movie" is on the way.

What next?

Buckeroo - In the climate changed earth of the future, the only way to get food from one human stronghold to another is to send giant, robot horses across the plains carrying food & medical supplies. However, these horses were built by a race of aliens in a time no-one can remember, so there is no way of understanding how they work and they can go haywire at a moments notice. What you need is a 'rider' who are the only people who can work them. The best is Claymore and he's been missing in the wilderness for years. His old partner, Tyler 'Nosebag' Strider is setting out in a convoy of urgent supplies heading to New Bolton but Claymores beautiful, pert, full breasted, 20 year old daughter Melissa is the only one who knows the way and she has other motives for going on the journey...

Connect Four - In the climate changed earth of the future, in a giant city called New Bolton, an evil dictator 'Palin' forces criminals to fight each other to the death using mysterious coloured discs found underground years ago. One of these criminals, Tyler 'Discman' Strider is in fact a scientist who has been imprisioned for his view that these discs are in fact alien artifacts, a theory told to him by his mentor, Dr Claymore but he's been missing in the wilderness for years after going looking for proof. But when the giant aliens return to claim the discs threatening to destroy the city, 'Discman', 'Palin' and Claymores beautiful pert, full breasted, 20 year old daughter Melissa must unite to fight the alien overlords until the Professor returns with the answer of how to defeat them.

Flight Deck - In the climate changed earth of the future, during the Great Aussie War, the UAV carrier USS Sarah Palin is crusing in the Pacific when somebody takes over control over the combat drones as they attempt to land. The source is a mutant psychic alien called 'Slade' developed by the Australians who is bred to destroy all flying objects. The only one who can overide 'Slades' negative waves, is Tyler 'Hedders' Strider and he has been busted to cabin boy after being paid to influence the outcome of an online Angry Birds game by the Triads. Captian Claymore knows that 'Hedders' is the only man who can destroy 'Slade' before he wipes out all the UAV fleet and the Aussies attack to avenge the New Bolton Gay Pride march massacre. But not only did 'Hedders' used to date Claymores beautiful, pert, full breasted, 20 year old daughter Melissa but she is on route to the carrier; flying a transport plane packed full of plutonium, orphans & sandwiches. & time is running out.....

Mousetrap - an insane genius builds a selection of fiendish traps to torture his victims........ hang on.

Perfectly plausible synopsis if you ask me. Given his track record, I think Bruckheimer will love them. You could make millions in advances.

Whatever you do for a living , change it now. You should be a scriptwriter, move to LA and live in the hills with a surgically enhanced latino and a mexican hairless chihuahua.

This is your destiny.

I just spotted this on IMDB and rushed he to start a 'Hollywood has just admitted "honesly, we're completely out of fresh ideas now, we're not even trying to hide it" thread.

Do I want to see a $200m film based on a battle between the US Navy and some Aliens starring Liam Neelson? Yeah, if I was in the mood for a brain-out special effects film, but the association with the game uttlerly baffles me - it's based on the classic school yard game 'battleships' that's only ever going to be a downside to it.

It would be like making an epic war movie set in the 1800's spanning the whole globe, spent $200m on it, Viggo Mortensen in the lead role as the daring general - then making the cannon balls star shaped and calling it Risk - based on the board game.

I can kind of get there being a film based on it, but not a huge budget film with an a-list star, that's the thing that baffles me, well that and the fact that a 'project' like battleships could get so big without someone saying "hang on chaps, this is getting silly now, lets drop the board game connection and distance outselves from it as far as we can"

Eric Northman in it lol. From the trailer it seemed like they thought battleships on it's own was boring so they added the alien bit at the last minute.

Very funny. We should start a thread....
Here’s my contribution:
Operation: In the not too distant future the progress of the internet, the financial state of the health service and the advent of excellent home tuition courses will enable us all to operate on our loved ones at home in the comfort of our living rooms. People will literally lie down and let a family member ‘operate.’ Michael Smith of 41 Acacia Ave is ill and as a result his family (consisting of MILF wife, sext teen daughter and boffin type son) decide to operate. However; they lose their internet connection (because as BT explain ‘other electrical items disrupt wifi signals’) in the middle of trying to extricate what turns out to be a miniature nuclear bomb, which was hidden in a cheese and onion sandwich by Dr Mininuke after he realised Smith was in fact an agent of HASBRO and out to stop him. Will the family get the wifi to work? Can they disarm the mini nuke? What will become of Dr Mininuke?
