OT: Das Boot

Zero Niner · 10-12-05, 07:35 AM

Saw the video on sale at a shop, it was labelled as the "Director's Cut". Duration as stated on the box is about 210 mins (3.5 hrs). Should I pick this up?

Woof1701 · 10-12-05, 08:32 AM

Sure thing. The Director's cut for me is the best of both worlds. It adds some depth of the mini series to the movie theater version and is also digitally remastered and in Dolgy digital (I think). So go for it!

Definitly! IMO it's the best subfilm alongside Hunt for Red October. It's also amazing what they did with the resources that they had.

It's worth the buy, but don't miss the miniseries.

Only buy it AFTER you have picked up a copy of SHIII. You wouldn't want to watch the movie and NOT have something fun to play with that is similar to the movie... But if you already have SHIII, then I say go for it!

The Director's cut is definately the best movie of the three versions. The uncut 5 hour version is good for die hard u=boat fanatics like me, but for the pure entertainment value the director's cut is the best. Joe S

I found the "Original" version more entertaining than the other two. I know the original is long, but I never felt bored when I watched it.

10-12-05, 12:12 PM

I agree with Dowly. I have all the versions and I like the "Original, Uncut Version" (also known as the Miniseries) far more than the others.

just picked up the directors cut ,awesome it was almost like seeing the movie for the first time again,the remastered sounds was soo cool on my surround sound,I was getting little water dripping sounds from behind me they really did a good job here....just picked up "28 days later",and "killer clowns from outer space" hope they sound a sgood as well

wetwarev7 · 10-12-05, 03:40 PM

If I remember correctly, 28 days later was really good. The wife and I watched it with all the lights turned off and got a good scare.

I hated killer clowns from outer space, but that's just me.

I'm gonna have to get Das Boot, since everyones been talking about it.

oooo...I gotta get that. Have you gotten Shawn of the dead? That was pretty good too. Rather tongue in cheek, but well done.

Hi,

OK OK OK how many times do i have to repeat myself (i own the director's cut BTW) the best version of DAS BOOT is the book - it has so much more to offer as an experience of WW2 life on a U-boat, as the film(s) don't use the entire book.

563 pages of pure u-boat porn for the Initiated!

I read the book and I have to agree...I learned more from it than any of the movies. As far as the movies go, my preference is the "Original, Uncut Version"...
