Shame. Tom Hanks put a lot of effort into it and would have been worth seeing-He does quality stuff. Judging from the trailer this film looks like it would have benefited from a cinema release, and may have created a lot of interest in the Battle of the Atlantic history.

Here's something I don't understand.
Due to this Corona pandemic the producer and Tom hanks have decided to skip the traditional cinemas and let a streaming service have the right to this movie. They have given AppleTV+ the right to show this movie. How many have this streaming channel/service. Everyone of the Americans ? I thought the idea of making a movie was to let a wide spread of people having a chance to see it and not only a group of exclusive member of AppleTV+. Well then get this Apple tv+ problem solved... If it was available then perhaps people would sign up for a membership as they do with Netflix og HBO. Markus |

ok gents, i just watched it.
it's...ok. if you have no idea about submarine warfare and tactics i gues it's a competent WW2 action flick. everyone else will facepalm pretty hard, pretty often. it also has impressive visuals. to summarize the movie in one sentence: if you ever wanted to watch a type vii boat engage in a surface gun duel with a fletcher class DD and a flower class at the same time at literal point blank range - this movie is for you. -SPOILERS BELOW THIS POINT- and many more that i already forgot. anyway. you can get a quick uboat fix in, but nothing more. i enjoyed it...a bit

I loved it. Yes mostly because movies like this are a dying thing so I will take anything these days. Lol
But it felt very real at least in terms of the visuals. Don't know about the tactics . I mean did uboats really contact the destroyers like radio rose did in the Pacific ? |

I watched it and I enjoyed it. I did not love it tho. Characters are way too shallow and not much of a plot. CGI was A LOT better than I thought it was going to be (probably why I enjoyed it . . . expectations were really low going into this). But it was entertaining if u can overlook the uboats on the surface during the day in visual range of a convoy. Sign up for the free week of apple plus tv, watch the movie and then u can cancel the subscription. I'll probably watch it once more.

Movie was good enough to cause a relapse for me. Already looking for recent naval games to try out.
