'Battleship' Super Bowl Trailer: Taylor Kitsch, Rihanna Fire Everything, Kill Aliens

First Posted: 02/ 5/2012 7:32 pm Updated: 02/ 6/2012 12:51 pm

Because 2012 wouldn't be complete without two movies featuring Taylor Kitsch and aliens, here comes "Battleship."

Based on the board game -- and produced by Hasbro, the folks behind "Transformers" -- "Battleship" stars your favorite "Friday Night Lights" fullback as a rebellious naval officer thrust into a battle with a bunch of mean extra terrestrials. Liam Neeson and Alexander Skarsgard co-star, but what you really care about is Rihanna. Er, the massive explosions, epic scope and seemingly awesome special effects.

Peter Berg, doing his best Michael Bay impression, directs. "Battleship" hits theaters on May 18. Add your own "Battleship"-related joke in the comments below.

So of the ads for movies so far in the first half, they've either been some sort of futuristic science fiction extravaganza or the corny Disney movie. And THIS is what we have to look forward to next summer?? The Republican convention doesn't sound so bad after all.

I can't wait to see this movie. I'm surprised that they used the Navy Working Uniform(NWUs) over some of our older working uniforms that we did use.
