Continuing with this yearâs tradition of releasing every commercial online before it airs during Sundayâs Super Bowl, a teaser for the Battleship TV spot has gone online. The spot is a bit different from the previous trailers weâve seen in that itâs incredibly sci-fi-y. Realizing that theyâve made a movie out of a board game, Universal really seems to be playing up the Transformers comparisons. Essentially, aliens decide to attack Earth at sea. The whole âBattleshipâ aspect comes into play as a giant forcefield appears around a group of naval ships and the alien attackers, locking everyone into a confined area in which to fire away. Iâm really hoping that the tone of Peter Bergâs flick is cheeky and fun, but Iâm not entirely sure thatâs what weâre getting.Hit the jump to check out the teaser.
