    I bet the humans upload a virus to the alien mother ship from an earth laptop and destroy communications and therefore win the war.

    You wouldn't know that though because you've demonstrably never picked up a book nor educated yourself on the matter. Let me guess, overweight housewife?

    Wonder who gets to say, You sunk my battleship. God, studios must be desperate using the title of an old board game. Snakes & Ladders : the movie when? Seriously, studios just need to take foreign directors and toss them money if we really want original movies

    Half the budget was spent on Neeson. Rihanna will do part of the soundtrack. Now all they need is the corny ship sinking with Neeson looking straight into the camera screaming, "You sunk my Battleship!" and they will have a failure on the deck.

    I knew it, no wonder I could never win at Battleship! I was thinking I was playing against humans with straight ships, but obviously aliens with L shaped ships were my opponents!

    This reminds me of when Sony picked up the rights to a Rollercoaster Tycoon movie.

    Isn't Monopoly getting a movie too?

    Seems like a generic story but with ships. Always have to have a protag that doesn't 'follow the rules' with a hot gf that ends up saving the day at the end.

    Why bother adding product placements into your movies when the movie itself can be one long advertisement? Brilliant.
