that's the trailer for the movie, it's coming out soon... I hope.

It's been two long years since we started this journey and it's amazing.

I know some of you are a little iffy about it, but the movie's coming out great.

Gotta say as a former submariner, this movie looks like U-571 II. Not my cup of tea.

But it's with Fleet Boats!! And no Tom Cruise!

Tickets reserved!

I don't know, I'd like to see it to see what is realistic to what is not.

That trailer is awful. I don't care about the accuracy of the military hardware they're showing if the acting sucks, and the story is ridiculous.

Read something like "Thunder Below" to learn about the professionalism of real sailors under stress. They don't act anything like what's shown in that trailer (or the plane going down either, for that matter). Bunch of whiners, there.

I'll check it out, looks like it could be a good movie. Like others have said, there are not alot of options for WWII Sub Movies that have been made recently.

I liked The hunt for Red October,U-571 and K-19 so i can enjoy the movie even if its full of Hollywood BS.

As long as they don't try to work a love story in like Pearl Harbor or the Red Baron i'll add it to my DVD Collection.

I'm kinda suprised nobody mentioned the movie "Destination Tokyo". I think it came out around '43. In the film the boat was named "Copperfin".
I was living in the Chicago area back in the '80's and got word that a fleet sub was being refurbished at the Navy Reserve Pier, next to Navy Pier. The group doing the work found her just short getting scraped. They looked up the history and discovered this was the boat portrayed in the movie. Armed with that info they got her registered as a National Monument. A grant was probably given but they were looking for funds and volunteers at the time.
There was a lot of work involved as the boat went down by the bow in a storm due to the foward hatch left open. By the time I got to her they had her floating but the entire foward torp room was stripped. I was amazed how big the empty cavern was. The rest of the boat was basically cleanup, inspect, replace and repair. BIG JOB!!!
The tour was great. I even had a chance to get a look through the attack scope. Was surprised to see it was raised by exposed cables.
Anyway Silversides resides across Lake Michigan at Muskegon MI., open to the public...SK

SS 236 Silversides...sorry

This sounds like the WWII submarine equivalent of Flyboys...

Hey, be nice. U-571 is a great movie. Even though its not a true story, it was still a great movie of Americans pwning the germans. For a former submariner, how can you say its not a good movie? I dont know of any other ww2 sub movies that compare in quality. And U-571 historically, did a great job, patrolling the coasts of florida with multiple successes. Look it up on wiki.

I don't think it's contents would even make for a decent coloring book.
