Watch: The trailer for Battleship, yes, based on the board game

In my constant battle against fellow Nerve writer James Brady Ryan to bring you the most ridiculous movie trailers on earth, I believe I have found my trump card. Behold, the trailer for Battleship — as in, "you sunk my." That's right, the first trailer for the Hasbro-game-inspired feature film, Battleship, has been released, and it contains aliens, explosions, and Rihanna.
Because you're a rational human being, you're thinking: "what?" I would be thinking the same thing, except that this movie has Peter Berg, creator of my beloved Friday Night Lights behind it, and the beautiful Taylor Kitsch and Alexander Skarsgard as stars. Rihanna doesn't actually make her acting debut in the trailer, but she does appear for a split second. If nothing else, Battleship looks more entertaining than Cowboys and Aliens.

Claiming Cowboys and Aliens looks worse than this just shows you have no business talking movies, my friend...
Ditto, this looked really boring, actually. Where was Rihanna?!
Sweet, aquatransformers!
And no mention of Liam? What's wrong with you.
Guess there will be a new game out too.
Let's play bingo. You sunk my battleship!
Aliens attacking pearl harbor. I have to admit, that's original.
Fucking SWEET man. I am ALL OVER THIS MOVIE.
PS - Cowboys and Aliens looks good too!
Aliens, explosions, and Rihanna: I don't know about the 3rd one, but the first 2 seem more appropriate for Stratego than Battleships.
I love me some ASkars but this just looks awful.
Next up, Monopoly - A feel good, rags to riches story about an estate agent and his scottie dog who go to jail 3 times, win a beauty contest and end up the owning the Electric Company, Water Works, 4 train stations and a battleship.
You joke, but there's an untitled movie coming out that Ridley Scott is attached too. . .
the aliens shoot the pegs just like in the game as well!
The only thing worse than Michael Bay is the endless stream of Michael Bay wannabes
I want to send you an award for most helpful internet wrteir.
