The more I see of Battleship, the more the film looks like it could be renamed Transformers #4. This latest trailer from the sci-fi action epic shows off much more of the alien invaders and gives us a better look at the film’s special effects. The human stars take a backseat to the CG aliens, spacecrafts, and explosions, but we do see Rihanna in two brief clips as well as the film’s stars Taylor Kitsch (John Carter), Liam Neeson, and Alexander Skarsgard (True Blood).
Take a look and see what you think of this new Battleship trailer:
The Plot:
Peter Berg 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 fiancée; Alexander Skarsgård 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.
Battleship sails into theaters on May 18, 2012.
