As a kid, I enjoyed playing tabletop board games that used wits and imagination to determine victory with a given set of rules. It was commonplace to see lots of these innovative titles in toy shops and hobby stores, and I was fortunate enough to play the likes Cluedo, Monopoly, and Battleship. So imagine to my surprise that Universal Pictures actually commissioned a movie of "Battleship" to be made, with Hancock director Peter Berg at the helm. However, seeing the trailer firsthand left me with the impression that this would your typical B-Movie alien invasion flick, only with lead stars like Taylor Kitsch, Rihanna, and Liam Neeson highlighting the cast. It's not as simple as it sounds however, and maybe this review will shed some light on what to expect if you decide to watch this film. Thanks again goes to Solar UIP and Channel V for the screening!
