Battleship Trailer #3

Posted by on March 13th, 2012   Filed under: Action, Sci-fi, Trailers

As crazy as it might sound, Universal and Hasbro seem to be aware that there are people out there who have yet to be sold on a Battleship movie. So they’ve released yet another trailer for the movie, and amped up the robotic whirring sound effects and low rumbling bass by a factor of 10. I have to admit all the destruction looks pretty hilarious, although I’m guessing that’s not really the effect they were going for. A “global extinction event”… really? Peter Berg has basically moved right past Michael Bay and is now stepping on Roland Emmerich’s toes instead.

I’m sure they were hoping that John Carter would do a lot better at the box office this weekend so that they could build buzz on the Taylor Kitsch factor, but somehow I don’t think that’s going to help them at this point. Either way, I am now officially looking forward to catching this one at the drive-in just a couple of months from now. It actually looks like fun… and I’m only being partially ironic. Battleship hits theatres on May 18th; check out the new trailer after the jump and see what you think.

    Total Fucking Bayhem.

  • Hmmm. Still hasn’t won me over.

    Hey, what’s the name of the camera you guys used to film the Running Tunnel? Wrong place to ask this but Jay doesn’t respond to e-mails!

    This is looking more and more like Battle L.A. meets Transformers at sea.

  • Maopheus

    Boy, if real soldiers looked like their Hollywood versions, we would win all battles with no bullets fired. We’d win them all with looks and charm.

  • The John Paul Jones battleship?

    Does Jimmy Page and Robert Plant have one each too?

  • Marcus Mallard

    If it isn’t bad enough, they worked in the little pegs that you put into the battleships…fantastic. It’s almost as bad as POV game shots in House of the Dead. Also, I would like to nominate Taylor Kitsch for worst obligatory line of the year, “HIT!!!”
