In very much the same way the world came close to total devastation during ww2 this film comes close to being the definite war spectacle. Films like Saving private Ryan don't compare well to the ambience and tension of this film, although the story does not achieve very high marks. The film should have delved deeper into the characters, now only the captain of the submarine is the only real character. There would have been many real life stories that could have given at least as much exitement as this story did. I'm not too pedantic but some things about the story did not seem to be quite truthfull.
On the whole a good film especially on the atmosphere department, with better characters and a better, more realistic story this would be my no. 1 war film of all time. (8/10)
