Remake of Das Boot 2018 - Page 2

Those scenes of the depth charges exploding are particularly interesting. It looks like they’re trying to get the same “look” of the film.

Looks alright, Ill give it watch

Pretend it doesn't bear the name 'Das Boot' Make no comparisons to the original and judge it on its own merit, and i expect it will be quite enjoyable.

I would say that is the best approach to take.

Caught wind of it long prior yet was somewhat incredulous at first.

However at this point, as there is some more data I'm really anticipating it.

Need to watch the first once more

Finished watching episodes one through four just now and I'm really liking it.

Best tip I can give to anyone planning on seeing it is: It's not a Das Boot remake. Different boat, different plot. Go in with that in mind and you might like it more.

I can't find it on Hulu. Where can I stream this in US?

Djr18045 · 02-18-19, 12:11 PM

Watched 2 1/2 episodes... I will not be watching any more... Totally different than the film and not in a good way.

yes, i got the first two episodes but no subtitles are out so far and my German is a bit rusty

, i watched 20 minutes and i only understood three phrases : " Alaaaaarmm !!! " , " beide maschinen kleine fahrt voraus " and "Heil Hitler "

I think i will wait until subtitles get posted , it doesnt look bad, i guess "the u-boat plot " will be enjoyable for us , submarine fans, but i hope the " land plot " wont be some predictable melodrama .

a few more details about it (but in Italian sorry).

i fear they are going to try working a love story into it.

has anyone seen it yet? no release in my country yet for any legal kind of distribution.

As I said, I watched it last week. 8 episodes. Production values were very good. I do not want to spoil it, so I will stay really general. This series is about a young untested CO and his crew, and there is also a story about a young Alsace German woman and the trouble she gets into with the French resistance. The show splits its time between both stories and they are equally compelling, but as I said above, the depiction of the U-boat crew is abhorrent. Most horrible, repugnant people in the military. There was only one guy I was rooting for, the Officer training dropout. But the rest are savage, brutal, uncaring monsters that not even war can excuse. This series does not have any of the tone of the classic Das Boot, it's more like a horror film set in WWII.

Watched the series in few days with overwhelming enthusiasm.
Afterwards can describe the experience with a strong "meh"...

It could be that this series was more respectful on the original author of the book since I'm under impression that he was not so happy about the "glorified action" of the original film.
Being as it is, I still yearned for proper U-boot action! The ~30% screen time that it got was nowhere enough for me. Not to mention that most of the time even it was just drama inside the boat...

The title was misleading in the first place; should've been called A Tragedy Placed In 1942 La Rochelle, and nothing more.

Hello,

Have you seen the 2018 series "Das Boot"?

I think that for a recent series it is actually relatively accurate. Of course some sacrifices had to be made in order to please the modern viewer, but all in all I enjoyed watching it for the good effects and visualization of U-Boat life. What I also like is that compared to movies like the original "Das Boot" or "U-505" the crews are a little more accurate age-wise (on U-96 an a little older crew might make sense, but this series is set in '42).

German viewers can watch it via Sky (I don't know about other sources, sorry).

What is your opinion on the show, if you've seen it? Give it a go, it's not as cringeworthy as I expected.

Best,
Eikson

I have seen it.

i am not impressed.
There some good Scenes in the Submarine, but that is all.
Most Part of the Story will be the Part on Land, for the Opposition of the France Rebels.

Not so really nice for a Series called "The Boat".
Also i do not like, how the Story itself is "made".
A lot at the Beginning, will you remember to the Movie "Das Boot",
it is nearly a "borrow" of much Things and Ideas, and also conversations (in the same Way). But later the Series goes down like a brithish Destroyer after 10 Torpedos. There is just 1 fascinating Scene left, i do not want to tell it everyone, who not know.

But for real: after the 3. Part, it goes longer and longer, at the 4. Part i begun to skip some Parts, than i rewind, watch it, and skip it again.

not really big Cinema. It is okay, but the Story @ Land can completly Cut in my Eyes. And the hardest Thing is: The story at Land is nearly complete a different Story to the Boat. Only thing that is "together" is the Point, that is a Brother Sister Thing, but this is all.

Best Greetings.
You miss not so much you think. I saw it 1 Time, do not need to see it again.

This tv show was really terrible. The first couple of episodes I was on board, I had presumed the parts set in La Rochelle were just window dressing to create an on-shore connection with the crew.. I thought swapping the experienced well loved commander with a newbie would be a sort of journey where the commander slowly but surely brings his crew together and becomes the respected veteran over time.

Instead what do we get, insubordination? questioning of the Captain and orders from the BdU? mutiny?!... on a U-Boat? I looked it up there are no historical examples of this, the closest historical event that could have vaguely influenced the show is the denouncement of Oskar-Heinz Kusch.

And that's just for the sections on the boat 60% - 80% of the later episodes is set entirely in La Rochelle following some far fetched SJW resistance plot line that's only vaguely connected to the boat, and again has little if any historical precedence.

The Captain who is the sole survivor of his U-Boat sinking has some historical precedence in Klaus Bargsten of U-521. The idea of swapping him at all (unless he was very well connected) for a civilian, rather than a Spy as would be customary is ridiculous.

As for the deposed Captain arriving in New York, there is no way on earth he wouldn't be a POW. Hopefully it will get cancelled before they do further damage to the Das Boot brand. Loads of people will probably think this is representative of the original or the novel now, let alone actual U-Boats from WWII!
