Special effects and CGI were very good as expected from a mega budget Hanks, if a bit cartoonish at times. The narrative though was pure Americana - from the captain's fanatical religiosity likely intended to appeal to fundamentalist evangelicals, to the melodramatic 'moments' deep lingering pregnant pauses, and Hank's irritatingly ponderous, morose demeanour.
And then there was the inevitable American triumphalism and exceptionalism which is almost invariable overdone in just about every US war movie I've ever seen with the possible exception of Saving Private Ryan.
Compare and contrast this rather spongy American melodrama with the electrifying Das Boot which encapsulated the utter horror of sea warfare. A masterpiece of a motion picture which grabbed you by the throat and never let go...
I really wanted more movie and less closing credits; in the 91 min runtime, almost 11 mins were closing credits, and the rest a constant minimal climax without any high points. Sure the runtime could've been sufficient, but Hanks needed a stronger script with more epic moments. Some of the scenes were too long, redundant, incomplete, or even unnecessary. Tbh, if Hanks didn't star in this one, it would've been a typical B-grade war flick. Directing was good, cinematography excellent and the score on point, especially the eerie orca sounds during the tense moments. An enjoyable, but easily forgotten film.
This was a part of history I had no knowledge of. Fascinating study of a man, a leader.
Big name actor, good budget, decent cgi - it's highly digestible hollywood fodder.
It's very careful in evoking but never showing the horrors of war. Violence is restricted to the shooting of cannons machine to machine.
This will frustrate the viewer if you cared a lot about accuracy: the survivors of the uboats are surprisingly left unscathed, at least their demise is never shown on screen, while the wounded on the allied side are evoked, never shown.
Ironically, for a movie who clearly prides itself on its accuracy, the plot line and characterisation are paper thin - this movie could be summed up in one line. So it's action heavy to compensate, which is fine - but I think by now there's little we haven't seen on our screen, at least nothing that couldn't benefit from being more 'raw.
Tom Hanks really loves being a captain:
I loved the movie even though i m not a fan of war movies. It was intense and well done, one of best this years releases.
