Submarines

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!

I found this movie so bad I threw up...twice. Why would anyone make a movie so lame? I have to wonder what happened at the premier for this movie; I bet the actors that played in it got so ridiculed and depressed that those that didn't gag to death on their own vomit went home and committed suicide.

I would write something concerning the plot if in fact there was one...Oh yeah a navy seal avoids getting blown up so he can cuss at a JAG officer who takes command of a crippled sub which subsequently save the universe from some bad guy or something. The acting wasn't as bad as the movie but that isn't saying a lot. I must, in fairness credit the actors for their composure and the fact that they didn't break out in fits of laughter at some of the lines...For instance...The sub gets hit by a torpedo in the port side bow and the damage report that was scripted stated that the top half of the conning tower got "blown up" during this dire announcement the camera panned the outside of vessel which clearly showed no damage to the conning tower. The only damage was a little scratch in the front of the vessel, pretty impressive for a sub to survive such an explosion. What a horrible, horrible movie.

Plenty of movies are not worth the one star, sadly one star is required to review a movie. This movie is at least a one star, as it takes all reality away and makes rules as it goes. Was it worth the time to watch, well not for, yet fast forwarded the end, and well no need to spoil it.

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.

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.
