USS Seaviper

What do you get when you mix a beta cam recorder, a Sony "My First Editor", and a crew of inept and talentless hacks? A film that is far superior to this horrid attempt at a movie. The cameraman should be barred from handling anything that can capture an image. The first ratings were, without a doubt, posted by the same inferior morons who created this heap. DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, SEE THIS FILM. Compared to this, Gigli deserves an Oscar. I would rather sit through a midnight showing of Batman in Colorado than watch this piece of shite again. I'm giving it two stars out of sympathy, and the lack of negative stars on IMDb.

No real scenario. Very bad acting. Low cost special effects.

Same Japanese destroyer exploding scene used three times with different angles.

Unskilled doctor trying to look after a rescued guy during 15 minutes.

It is a total mess.

How did they manage to distribute such a piece of bad taste.

If you want to see some good movies with subs and real action, try these ones : Red October, U-571, the Widow , the Boat, Run Silent - Run Deep. There are also great old movies in black and white.

In brief, to avoid.

I had high hopes going into this film, it is highly rated on IMDb and looked to be on an interesting subject. However I got hung up on all the little errors that are on every frame. Hands down the biggest complaint I would have is with the costumes. When the 'admiral' and 'captain' are speaking to each other, notice how clean their clothes are...like they have never been worn before 10 min ago when filming began. Also pay attention to the large numbers of medals the Admiral is wearing to denote his rank and any citations he may have been awarded in his career. When the characters are playing cards, it is obvious none of them know how to play, they use continuation bets.

Much of the effects seem to be added as an after thought, when the sub is preparing to dive some idiot throws a bucket of water down the hatch as it is closed, to signify the approaching ocean. Cut to the next scene and the sub is still 10 feet above the water preparing to dive, nice and dry. Also the actors should have been given an hour or two to practice moving on the ship hurriedly, like their lives depended on getting to that hatch before the ocean came into the sub! These actors would die so fast in war.

I thought there was finally an new upcoming submarine movie after a while when I saw him on IMDb, but afterwards when I watched it, it was seriously one big disappointment. I couldn't follow the story at all. The story was not clear and I have no idea why there was a fight between the Chief and Cutter (At least not the cause). Bad acting as well and I've seen some great movies who achieved a nice movie with an much lower budget. I wouldn't recommend you guys to watch it. It's not worth to pay for it. Waste of money. I seriously hope there is someone who's still able to overclass 'Das Boot'. Das Boot is seriously an masterpiece. Director disappointed me

This is what a movie would look like if it was done by a group of small children on a budget of say $24.99. The script is ridiculous, acting horrible, direction obviously got lost somewhere along the line and failed to show up at the shoot.

This is supposed to be an important story of WW2, but even after forcing myself to reach the end of this disgrace, I still have no idea what the big story is about. The only thing I found amusing is the (supposedly) British officer. He keeps breathing heavily (maybe a relative of the heavy breather in Student Bodies?), showing his pearly whites and nose hair, while his British accent is something he could've picked up in a cheap novelty shop.

Stay away from this one. Or better yet, check it out and see for yourselves. Watching such trollop makes you appreciate quality cinema more. And that has to count for something, right?
