I do NOT want to start a storm over what was wrong with the movie from all the experts that hang out here. Just a general opinion would be nice; i.e.

1. I was glad I left my hearning aids at home. The explosions rattleled my seat.

2. Interior views were great. I did not stay for the credits, but did they indicate the boat that was used?

3. After just 4 days, the movie was moved to the 2nd largest capacity theatre in the complex and I estimated 30 people there at most. Not a big call for submarine movies in the world.

4. Remember folks it was entertainment and not a documentary!

Just found out that the film is largely set aboard a Virginia-class submarine. Some are based in Norfolk and built in nearby Newport News. They are the Navy's newest attack subs and designed to deliver Navy SEALs.
