Give it a shot, at least someone is making a movie about US sub in WW II again . Thing is, they could make an epic out of the books by Fluckey, O Kane, etc

IMHO shooting a crappy movie inside an WW2 Submarine is a difference to make a movie about an WW2 Submarine.

Exactly but therefore it would need a Major Studio, good actors, a good script and the best cast possible, not to mention the MUlti Million Dollar Budget. Just look at the Seaviper cast, that guys are C Movie actors to say at least.

Looks awful, based on the trailer. Perhaps some technical realism buried in there someplace but the story line seems vomit inducing. Particularly when the real Silent Service produced so many memorable incidents and characters worthy of movie treatment.

Any insights as to why the Nazi's took the long way round the Pacific via COMSUBPAC's area of operations rather than the very much shorter route from Europe through COMSUBSWPAC's area? Or why refit a German sub on a Pacific desert island when the naval base at Panang or Singapore were much closer and better equipped? Just saying...

What is this, Star Trek?

I'll probably buy it, once it comes out on DVD. Then, I'll watch it. Then I'll critique it.

TBH the trailer doesnt look too promising, hopefully im wrong

Will watch either way, even if its considered the worst sub movie to date

My cheesy sensors definitely got a reading...

I doubt you're wrong. It looks hidious beyond belief.

I'll probably still end up watching it, though.
