Ameaça Submarina

Look, the special effects were very much 'SYFY' specials and the acting in the lower echelons left a lot to be desired. But the Machiavellian nature of the plot were quite rousing.

From the plot to the props, to the horribly tasteless computer generated graphics, right down to the acting, this movie was really flawed. On a positive note, I will give credit to the writers/directors/producers of this film who attempted to tell the story of our Navy's submariners. However, next time, please take some additional time to conduct the proper research on proper wear of Navy uniforms. In this age of Google and many other search engines, this information could have been easily obtained, and the realism truly brought out in your art. Instead, the uniforms created numerous distractions from the plot. If all else, U.S. Navy Sailors, like myself who wear the cloth of the nation, when viewing a portrayal of our duties, deserve to see them portrayed correctly. Anything else, my friends, border heavily on disrespect.

Just terrible. All of it. Actors, set, underwater action scenes, script, screenplay, characterisation.

Little better than one of those low budget made for cable tv mid week housewife tv movies of the 1970s & 1980s.

Okay, in the Version I've seen, there was a gay relationship present between the XO and the CO, but it wasn't the purpose of the movie. A great movie to watch with a great storyline! Adrian provides a wonderful outlet for his character, as well as everyone else in the movie. I feel that the issues presented (being gay in the military, unintelligent military intelligence) keep the movie modern and prevalent in our society today. I for one am looking forward to seeing more movies like this one, where I can watch it from beginning to end with out wondering if I left the Iron on. Whip out your popcorn, grab a soda and WATCH THIS MOVIE! You'll be sorry you missed it. Go to Hawaii, and find yourself a sailor man.

Clearly, they had no technical advisor on this film. The ONLY thing that is in any way accurate is the battle lantern you see in an occasional shot.

Although I served 24 years, on 4 ships and 1 submarine, I am no expert, but they could have paid me a meager salary to at least make the uniforms right.

There are far too many errors and inaccuracies in this film to list here. Some of the most glaring are the incorrect and out and out wrong mixture of uniform items which do not match rank. It is like they had a grab bag of uniform items and told the cast to go "put something on" in the hope they might get it right. They didn't. The fact that submarines don't move that way is easy to ignore, since only a submariner would know.

Clearly one of the worst Submarine (or even Navy) films ever made. A little (technical) effort can go a long way.
