Remake of Das Boot 2018

Dowly · 02-07-19, 12:11 PM

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?

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

The lower picture is the u-boat featured in the TV series. One of the characters says it's a Type VII-C. I thought all Bs and Cs had the hockey club shaped arrangement of drain holes, but the one in the series lacks the upper 4 holes.

What's up with that?

BTW, this has to be the worst managed u-boat in the history of the Kriegsmarine. Petty conflicts, frequent fistfights among the crew members, blame games, the Kaleun letting the XO get away with blatant disloyalty and insubordination, a general atmosphere of disharmony, and absolutely zero team spirit within the crew.

If the German armed forces would have been like that, the war would have been over in 2 weeks, with the Polish cavalry beating the crap out of the German Panzer corps.

I'm a bit annoyed that they sold it as Das Boot. A simple PR stunt. It's a semi-decent drama, but it certainly isn't Das Boot. It's trying to appeal to way too large an audience. Lesbian love story, crime drama and action movie with semi-historical representations of technical procedures.

The crew on that boat? It's not only the worst in the Kriegsmarine, it's the worst in any navy ever!

Also, the Wrangel storyline? Why the ******* would they risk a very valuable u-boat on that mission? It makes absolutely zero sense other than act as a plot device to reach a climax in the crew conflict storyline. Hoffmann had done nothing that would warrant such behavior from his men.

To me this was a slightly entertaining drama, but boy oh boy did they drop the ball on the Das Boot part.

That's cuz there's more boobies than depth charge attacks.

I've watched through episode 4. Seriously?

wtf? okay? I think it just jumped the shark at this point. Oh, and you are correct Neal.

...and it's hard to believe after all this, Doenitz will go to New Mexico and build meth labs. Better than "After MASH."

bstanko6 · 02-22-19, 03:35 AM

I finished the season... I agree with most people here. It could have been called anything but Das Boot. Very good series and I will watch more seasons. But it was more about everything but the boat!

Should have been called Das La Rochelle!

I approached it with an open mind. I wasn't expecting too much; after all the original will forever be unsurpassed.

I think it's good. A different focus than the original mini/film, and taken on its merits I think it is well made. I like the little moments of fan service, and the procedural detail on the operation of the submarine is nicely done. I really like the soundtrack; it reminds me a little of the Blade Runner 2049 score.

The foley work is a bit disappointing; much time was spent on the original (including re-recording a few pieces for the 1997 release) and I do think the sound needs some work.

The cinematography is good, and the effects work is subtle; I was worried the reliance on CGI would leak into things but thus far their brief appears to have been 'keep the aesthetic of the original'.

The scenes with three languages are brilliant; you have to hand it to them, it's ambitious.

I'll always love the original. I do not mind this one at all, and I have to say their overhead shot of the boat cutting through the centre of the frame is absolutely fantastic.
