Indeed it is, and that is also the only dvd, which I have reached to see completely yet!
So for those who haven't seen it yet, then it is based on an authentic story taking place in the very last days of the war. About a uboat leaving Norway with a course for Japan, carrying uranium, construction plans for a nuclear weapon plus two Japanese officers as passengers. During the voyage, the message about Germanys surrender reaches the uboat, and now then what?
About the cinematic quality: well this movie seems to have been made for television, since this dvd shows the movie in 4:3, that's not necessarily bad, but the sound ain't that great either, imagine you're hearing the sounds inside a barrel, that's how it sounds now and then. However, when the scenes from other nations appear, you hear their own languages, which is always more realistic.
On a scale of 5 stars, I would give it 3. One for picking up an authentic story, one for the fact that it is a German movie and one for just being slightly better than "U-571"
