The classic board game with no actual plot comes to life in a film that may actually have no plot.

Trailer
Rating: D+
Commentary: I get that this is supposed to symbolize a sinking battleship (much like the original design work for the game), but I just can’t get that excited about it. 		Rating: D-
Commentary: The film may well have sunk itself before it even released. There’s not much exciting about this trailer unless you’re a pre-pubescent boy or a man-child hoping for the next cross between Michael Bay and Roland Emmerich. There isn’t even a hint of a plot. And what is a film of a game like Battleship doing looking like an alien invasion flick?
Preview Link: CLICK HERE for link to the trailer, more posters (if available) and other commentary not featured here.
Oscar Chances: Perhaps some of the tech categories like Sound Mixing, Sound Editing and Visual Effects. However, my guess is that it comes up bankrupt.
