Must Watch! The Sci-Fi Super Bowl Commercials

Joe: Retaliation, Battleship and The Avengers (to name a few). Check out all the cool ads below, in no particular order… aside from saving the best for last. Enjoy!

I had to give Chevy a spot for using a giant robot head, and a downed UFO in their post-apocalyptic debris in this commercial.
