Went and saw Hunter Killer this evening.
Action: 8 out of 10
Realism: 3 out of 10
Acting ...it's and action movie
Overall I give it a 7 out of 10 for be'n entertaining and myself 10 out of 10 for being able to suspend belief for 2 hours.
My main hang ups with the movie are:
Submarines that perform like race cars
Near misses were almost comical
All torpedoes ran about 100+ knots even though they weren't rocket propelled
Nuke boats don't like to be sat down in mud. Something about sucking it in the cooling vents
Apparently Gerard Butlers character can see underwater, through the subs hull...
I've seen 13 year old airsofters that were more stealthy than the "SEALs" portrayed in the movie
Every decoy and mine had a blinking red light
The
USS Arkansas apparently had a gravel filled cement mixer in the pump jet
So conclusion... Go see it as a Hollywood produced action movie and not as a documentary.
