Submarines

This is, without question, the worst submarine movie that I have ever seen. They didn't even get the basics right. Enlisted men wearing gold dolphins and eating in the wardroom. enlisted and officer uniforms seemed to be interchangeable, officers in dungarees, for example. A Star Trek style sliding door to the conn. Enlisted women as part of the crew, and female officers long before they were ever allowed on submarines. As a submarine veteran, I couldn't get past all of that to pay any attention to the story. It was so bad that I couldn't even finish it. I'm 58, and there has only been one other movie in my lifetime that I didn't watch to the end.

Worst movie ever made. Who invests in these anyway? A feeble attempt at making a real movie. I can see why it went straight to video. Unrealistic, terrible acting, and a plot that just doesn't work.

Calling this movie crap would be doing a disservice to crappy films. This is horrendous. From the very beginning you just know it has no direction and no soul. This is right out of the Chuck Norris school of unbearable, right wing, good v evil machismo movies. This makes Delta Force look like Saving Private Ryan. Illogical and poorly constructed plot, type cast pretty boys with no acting skills (but fit the costume), a hot,tough, woman who shouldn't even be on a submarine (with an even worse bad girl counterpart), bad accents, and models of submarines that looked like a 13 year old built them. This piece of (rhymes with hit) screams direct to video low budget where silk stalkings production value meets ridiculous and inaccurate military "thriller". Boring, dumb, formulaic, nonsensical, idiocy. Oh and great title, Submarines, really well thought out. No amount of weed or alcohol could make this trash watchable. Periscope up, thumbs down.

Pretty good entertainment, but if you want realism with regard to life aboard a US Nuclear Submarine, watch "The Hunt for Red October" instead. A poor plot, mediocre acting, and not much suspense. I wouldn't waste my money if I were you...... Just my humble opinion!

When watching the movie, I kept my expectation low. As a result, I was pretty impressed with the CG effect of the underwater sequence (The director has a pretty good resume on special effect, so that explains.) However, I am really curious if the submarines can really still functioning after suffering multiple torpedoes attacks. It may not really sound realistic. In the movie "the hunt for red October", it only takes just 1 to blow it up.

The actions are good, but don't expect a good storyline. The acting is decent but pretty flat. If you are looking for a movie to entertain you over the weekend, go ahead to rent it!
