It pre-dates World War I being played on paper with a pencil. It was then transformed into a board game and was a ritual on coffee tables on Saturday nights but now, in 2012, Battleshipwill be played every night on the silver screen. It's just a matter of whether the movie will be as well received as the game itself.

Based on the classic military board game, Battleship is an action-adventure-scifi that unfolds across the seas, skies and land of Honolulu, Hawaii. After sending signals to space to find other life forms, our planet quickly finds itself under attack by a superior force.
