Wes Anderson Battleship

What would "Battleship" look like if it had been directed by Wes Anderson? Well, not a lot like "Battleship"!

The explosive action film-cum-board game -- which features an actual and awesome scene where the heroes PLAY BATTLESHIP with the invading aliens -- hits theaters Friday with all the bombast you've come to expect from a summer blockbuster. (AC/DC music cues included.)

Fortunately, for the Brooklynites among you, all that pomp and circumstance is replaced by the downcast Nico song "These Days" and a hipster wearing tinfoil. Also, another hipster -- mustachioed, of course -- playing "Navy Guy."

Watch the clip above. "Battleship" is out in theaters on Friday; Anderson's next film, "Moonrise Kingdom," debuts at the Cannes Film Festival this week before hitting screens on May 25.

Kia Makarechi: 'Battleship' And Our American Comfort With War Games

Families taking children to summer blockbuster after intergalactic war thriller would do well to end the evening with a conversation about the sacrifices incumbent in such fantastically bright explosions, by the men and women who actually wear the uniforms depicted on screen, by our society at large and, yes, by the real-life aliens who so often constitute our real-world enemies.
