Battleship - From Board Game to Movie

Yes, you read the heading right. Battleship, the beloved simple board game about sinking your friend's hidden naval ships, is being turned into a full length film. If I don't hear at least one person shout out, "You sunk my battleship!" during this movie then this movie has failed at its job. Then again, after some of you watch the "teaser" trailer (aren't teasers supposed to be around 30 seconds?) you may say that the movie already failed. In an attempt to not paint one particular nation as the 'enemy' the bad guys in this movie are aliens. Yes, aliens! Director Peter Berg states that "like in the game each side of the conflict will have a small fleet of five ships. The aliens are part of a scouting party, not a full-fledged invading force, and the humans will be cut off from the rest of the world. And the Naval ships will have their radar disabled, so they will have to strategize to figure out where their enemies are lurking." Will this movie ruin our beloved childhood game or will it somehow manage to deliver an entertaining movie experience?
