Keep telling yourself that. "Audiences" != "handful of net nerds hunched over their keyboards, snorting and grunting as they get overexcited about showing what 'experts' they think they are on any given topic."
Audiences accept inaccurate "realistic" movies all the time. In fact, you'll be hard pressed to find a any "realistic" movies that are accurate.
Nevermind the fact that the same net nerds referenced above will also be snorting and grunting as they whine and complain even about the fantasy/scifi stuff. And, ironically, bitching that they should have used more realistic scenarios in the process.
What, this is based on the game? Fortunately, I saw the trailer without knowing that, and my reaction was "Kinda interesting".
But since when does the US Navy have battleships? I thought the last one was retired in 1992.

Seems this movie takes place in an alternate universe where the Iowa's were kept in service and James T. Kirk was born in space, instead of........Iowa! Dun Dun DUN!!!!
Whenever I see that phrase, I can only think of it as delivered by DEATH in Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey. 
The sounds of the alien ship and the shield stuff reminded me heavily of Crysis.
They could make it a stylized period piece.
I thought Oliver Stone was going to do Monopoly.
*edit* Make that Ridley Scott. The article has no date, so it might be an April Fools Joke.

Nope, not a joke unfortunately. These days, it's almost impossible to make a Hollywood-related April Fool's Joke - they're "adapting" the Magic 8 Ball and the View-Master, for heaven's sake!
I don't think I'd want to see a straight-up movie about greed that just happens to be called "Monopoly". I'd still want something of the game in there. Incorporating the game's whimsical look and style, and using the names of the various places on the board works for me.
And just to stay on topic... Doesn't Monopoly have a battleship piece? The game I had never came with one.

It has Alexander Skarsgard in it. At the very least, I will probably pick it up at the RedBox just for him.
I did like the alien aspect to the movie. The romance angle looked pretty typical and lame. Daddy doesn't approve, yadda, yadda, yadda.

What with being filmed in Vomitcam (TM), I'll be passing.
Salamis!
They could make it a sequel to 300 (which it was).
I didn't know what the hell the trailer was when I saw it but when the words Battleship appeared, everyone started laughing. And not in the good way. I couldn't help but think the words "And starring Liam Neeson in career-ending fashion..."

Best of seven?
Damn right!
Oh God no...
What's next, a Gauntlet movie? Featuring the snarky voiceovers? ("Remember, don't shoot food!")
