'Battleship' Trailer Escapes

Universal didn't take this down quite in time.

Have to say, the timing on this couldn't be worse. 'Battleship' doesn't have the weight of, say, District 9 or the visual zip of, oh, Transformers.

The zoom at 1:46 is just too cute (they still do that?). This movie should have been released 5 or 10 years ago. Pre-Transformers this could have been cool. Now, though, cheesy is the best word I can think of.

Can't see many people looking forward to this.
