I like it so far. I think it's a good movie.

I am also playing DW and reading RSR at the moment so nuke boats are my favorite at the moment. U-boots are on hold.....for now.

I thought it was very entertaining movie.

Im in the RCN and the sub guys i know love (and hate) the parts where they scream out the command to go ultra silent.

The film crew almost got themselves killed because they were chasing around a boomer that was leaving King's Bay trying to get some footage of it diving...

I have watched this movie yestarday, I liked and disliked at the same time. If you consider this is a "submarine" movie, you will be dissapointed since there are lots of un-reality in it.

You can check for factual errors about this movie on IMDB, since I dont want to give spoilers I will not write here...Beside the errors, I doesn't give you anything about life in a submarine.

For the good parts I liked, the plot is good, just take in hand "Chain of Command" thing and leave the rest, consider the submarine is just a background for the story.

To finalise, I will say I dont consider this movie as a submarine movie,because in that case it is one of the worst sub movie I have ever watched, I consider this is a movie on "Chain of Command" and on military rules or situations, it is a good one

Actually, this movie could have started the story line behind the
TV series "Last Resort". It seems to me that they have very close
backgrounds and could have developed in nearly the same way....
