I only gave this movie a third star because the opening scene was intriguing and promised an interesting story. Unfortunately, the promise was never fulfilled. I don't know who deserves the most blame (director, script writer, actors, or editors or a combination of all of them) but the plot was beyond ridiculous. Almost all the actors appeared to be reading their lines, not living them. There were so many holes in the sequence of events that you could drive a Mack Truck through them. The special effects were repetitive to the point of boredom. The same goes for the dialogue. I do have to say that I enjoyed several laughs, although I'm sure it isn't what the creators of the film were aiming for.

Just Get One Navy Detail Right!
sean-110910 March 2024
The first moment they show the navy sub that plays a central role in the movie, they show what looks like an auditorium, with a vaulted ceiling, not even a pretense of the tight spaces of a real submarine, and the cheesiest mock-up of radar stations I've ever seen. Then the Commanding Officer calls a woman "Commander" and "XO" (Executive Officer) who is wearing the proper insignia of a First Class Petty Officer (E-6), which is beyond stupid. It seems like they did it as a joke to see if anyone would notice. Every moment looks like something completely different from a submarine CO giving orders to his crew.
All the other comments about the acting are really true. The acting is Mark-Hamill-as-Luke-Skywalker-in-the-first-Star-Wars-movie bad. I can't understand what inspired the 7 out of 10 rating, but it's certainly one of the worst movies you should spare yourself the trouble of watching.

This makes you appreciate other movies

Never laughed so hard at a thriller before. It was so pathetic that one couldn't help but laugh.
Most times when I watch tubi, I expect to watch something of value. This movie hit rock bottom
I look forward to avoiding any similar productions.
I feel for the actors. I am certain that they are not eager to let their friends and family know that they were a part of this movie
The only thing that I looked forward to were the commercials.
When I review a movie I usually see something positive in it and rate it above the average, but this movie has driven me to desperation. I could not rate it high that one.

Too bad there is no zero choice

This movie falls under my top lousiest category from the very start. First of all this has to hold the record for worse acting in a movie. I felt like I was watching a bunch of robots playing humans. No doubt the worst politically correct movie I've had wasted 24 minutes on. (And the most famous drag queen in history was one of my friends in high school. Our Spanish teacher got him his first gig, while we were still in high school in 1964. None of us found that strange, in the 1960's, so that is not the problem.) Would I recommed this movie to my worse enemy, you betcha! Oh, I hope some of the actors survived this armageddon.
There's absolutely no action in this movie
kalvarado-1536429 February 2024
First, there's no action. It's all talk. And it's all "scientific" blah blah blah that bores you.
Then, you have what could be considered a confidential and impactful conversation in front of all crew members.
The special effects are so bad and every frame feels that they are in a set or stage. It's just awful.
Even at the most "action" moments, there's so much talk. OMG.
I wonder if the actors make these films because they need money or if they are doing someone a favor because I'd be embarrassed to be in a film like this one.
Save yourself time and don't watch this movie. It is honestly not worth watching.

Perhaps the Worst Military Connected Movie I've Seen This Year
steinfr2 April 2024
Having been in the military I tend to get a little critical over technical inaccuracies. This movie was one of the worst I've seen. On the submarine, haircuts, uniforms, rank structure, and submarine features were so far off to be laughable. The submarine's executive officer (XO) wore the rank of a first class petty officer a mid-level enlisted grade ... not an officer. The helmsman wore the rank of a seaman, but referred to as a petty officer. It was inferred that the submarine had to frequently surface to exchange air. Torpedoes were launched through what appeared to me the missile launch tubes. Decisions at the Pentagon were being called by the Secretary of Homeland Security rather than the Secretary of Defense. I could go on an on but I'd advise skipping this one unless viewing for the comic effect.
Surprisingly good!
lindasue-501334 March 2024
It starts off smacking of low budget, possibly Indie... But actually all of the elements pull together and really make it work! In my opinion the extremely low ratings are unwarranted.
The acting was a little spotty, some was excellent; some was "not so much" but good enough.
The story was sound, and I appreciate that there weren't long drawn out scenes of silence while the camera portrays "work being done by the characters". Soooo agonizingly common these days both in TV and movies. This one pretty much had something happening all the time.
And what I REALLY appreciate is that it was in a disaster situation, and people trying one idea after the other after the other, hoping that one of them will work. MANY MANY TRIES, that's much more realistic than general big Hollywood shows of thus genre. This meant pretty much constant suspense in a life and death situation.
Was it high art? Probably not. Would I watch it again? Very possibly.
