Battleship releases a new clip: watch now

Battleship has released a first clip of footage from the film, with a look at an explodey action sequence in which the aliens begin to launch their attack on planet Earth.

The new clip shows the ocean-bound alien craft mutating in a very Transformerish fashion into a massive weapon, firing a number of seemingly sentient charges at the US coastline.

First to take a bit of a pounding is a US military base, who are clearly unprepared for the sudden onslaught. It doesn’t look as though it’s going to be a fair fight at all...

Take a look at the new clip, below...


If you’re a fan of OTT, balls-to-the-wall mayhem, Battleship is certainly setting its stall out to claim your hard-earned cash. Dialogue doesn't seem to be a massive deal in the promotional push (apart from the obligatory, “Oh, shit...”), but then again, no one’s going to be watching this for the script.

Directed by Peter Berg and starring Liam Neeson, Taylor Kitsch and Rihanna, Battleship comes sailing into UK cinemas on 11 April. It might be worth taking some earplugs, as this one is going to be loud...
