I understand its a question of marketing, but I actually think brand awareness may hurt the movie rather than help it in this case. People aren't going to rush out and see this film because its based (loosely) on their favourite board game, but they might avoid it because they think the idea of basing a game on "Battleship" is crass at best, and absolutely retarded at worst. I love alien films, but its going to take a lot for this film to win me over And in other news: will the red and white pegs be in the game?

I think this will be the most anticipated line in a movie since "I've had it with these mother fucking snakes on this mother fucking plane" “You sunk my battleship!!!” I think this will be the most anticipated line in a movie since “I’ve had it with these mother fucking snakes on this mother fucking plane”
