    I think Tom Hanks is the captain now.

    This is my kind of shit. Looking forward to this one.

    "Directed by Aaron Schneider", and the promising but uncanny valley looking special effects, have me a little concerned for this.

    Hanks is usually able to elevate movies that would otherwise just be "okay" and make them worth while. So I doubt this'll be a bad movie. Will it be exceptional? Probably not, but we have no clue yet.

    The only time Hanks wasn't able to save a movie was that God awful Da Vinci Code.

    Truly one of the worst films ever made, and not a reflection on Hanks.

    Yep.
    Exactly what I thought.

    WWII is one of my big interests, so I'll watch it with open mind.


    But it won't be better than The Enemy Below (1957, Robert Mitchum, Kurt Juürgens)...because nothing is.

    Looks interesting, but I am not running to the theater to watch it.

    I'll wait for reviews. If it gets critical acclaim, I would consider going to see it.

    If the reviews are just "okay" then I'll pass.

    Watched this last night with some expectations and was disappointed.
    The 91 mins running time - made me think this has been hacked-about a bit before being bought by Apple TV.

    All it is: Captain Hanks, looking a bit out-of-place on a Allied destroyer full of kids, trying to protect a convoy crossing the Atlantic against a wolfpack of....´whhhoooooooo-scary´ U-boats with sinister logos painted on them that, each time they appear, we get some ridiculous, eerie-horror-movie-type musical sound effect.
    All of this against a steel-grey/blue background and rough seas.

    Frustrating!

    5/10

    I never bothered to watch that film nor its sequel just because I wasn't interested in it regardless it was 'based on the best seller book'. Good to know it was shit so I didn't miss anything.

    It went straight to AppleTV which was the first red flag.

    If it was worth it could go the Wonder Woman 1984 route: put the release on hold until theaters are open again.
