Excited for the next instalment of the TRANSFORMERS franchise? If so, then BATTLESHIP should tide you over till then, since this looks and feels exactly like just that!
A brand new one-sheet has been unveiled and to be honest it looks a bit better than what we have seen but it still has that TRANSFORMERS vibes and nothing I have seen from it has gotten me remotely excited. I think this could either turn out to be a huge disappointment or a surprisingly decent film, my instincts tell me it wont be the latter.
BATTLESHIP is 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 fiancee; Alexander Skarsgard 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.
Unless something has changed, BATTLESHIP is set to dock May 18th.
