Right UP your ALLEY..........2007-04-22
we'll here is yet another reason Charlton Heston is a really great actor. one of the best of them. i'll be really sad to ever see him go. some of my biggest memories of being a kid we're of his movies.
this one is no different he's taking another leap and bound into disaster movies. just this one is underwater. some great actors playing along side him "Stacey Keach" and "David Carradine".
if you like Heston or even if you are into Disaster movies (an odd fascination)this one is "right up your alley". Heston is no amateur to disaster movies, he's done his share of them. hope you enjoy it!

[Three-and-a-half out of Four stars] Fine performances by Carradine, Heston, Beatty and look for Christopher Reeves (unbilled).......2006-07-03
Very well made movie with all cast in their
primes. A Norwegian Freighter hists Amer-I-
can nuclear sub and it sinks to depth or
1,400 ft. Carradine gives up ghost for sub
at end. Great supporting cast with many
Hawai'i Five-0 vets aboard.
Showcasing the Past and Future....DSRV Intelligence Story.......2006-01-12
Isn't it ironic that amongst the poor acting one really cool aspect of the film came about for future generations to witness. I am referring to the experimental DSRV in the film and how it would become famous not for saving trapped submariners but as an intelligence gathering vehicle during the height of the cold war. Could anyone (civilians) have known or understood the nature of this revolutionary vehicle in the 1960's and early 1970's (launched in 1971 as The Avalon) and what it's true purpose was after it's mission declassification in the late 1990's.
Actually the film is historical in a sense that this vehicle the "The Mystic" was actually a intelligence gathering device used by the US Navy that plyed the Northern Atlantic and Pacific Oceans "tapping" into undersea cables laid by the former Soviet Union's Northern Baltic Naval fleet. The vehicle's purpose was cloaked and sold as a "rescue vehicle" however knowing personally several former US Navy submariner's their accounts are that no vehicle can or would be able to do what was envisioned as the movie portrays since most subs navigate waters far to deep to prepare for and or perform rescue missions without further loss of life possibilities, accounting from angles and degrees of list and other logistical and environmental spatial difficulties.
Historically this vehicle was born as a result of the USS Thresher and USS Scorpion losses and was a perfect cover for the CIA to clandestinely gather intel on Soviet Northern Fleet communications intercepts. The whole premise of the vehicle in actuallity was to "literally wiretap" without the Soviets knowing and this coupled with the SOSUS listenting posts gave US Commanders advance knowledge of all Sub traffic comms to and from Moscow in the 70's and 80's. Cool stuff, a vehicle that has since been exposed as a high priced/tech sluth, and justified as an experimental rescue vehicle that had a "universal collar" to boot, this sure as heck wasn't able to save the crew of The Kursk whose hatch was not configured to accept such a device anyway.
Overall could you imagine the look on the US Navy's media relations people when this was dreamed up! I thought this might be some cool intel for fun to highlight the movies underlying message and promotion or should I say deception, no-one survives submarine sinkings, water pressure and great depths make rescue nearly impossible, this vehicle's potential operating depths include 0-5000ft deep however most US subs built since 1960 can only operate at depths up to 1400-1900 feet max with potential implosion risks where water pressure applies itself at over 25,000 pounds per sq inch, so rescue even at these depths could be remote and that's even a stretch considering the stricken vehicle would have to be listing no more that 14-29 degrees upright for proper seal to be achieved.
Overall at last review the US Navy operated (2) vehicles one on each coast based in Norfolk and San Diego and available to be flown anywhere in the world within a modified C-5 Galaxy cargo plane. In summary as the US fleet reduces size over the next twenty years this vehicle's mission has changed to more peaceful multilateral functionality with other countries testing new technologies on underwater retrieval and rescue methodology. Now you know the rest of the story as Paul Harvey would say. Watch the movie for the unveiling of this vehicle to the world and you now will have a greater appreciation for it.
Terrible.......2005-06-04
This movie is not even worth one star it is worth 0. Wow was this a bad movie. The plot was good but the acting was terrible. Charles Heston was even a bad actor in this movie. It's two hours of dialogue and captains talking. It takes them forever to even get close to getting them out of there. It's just blah, blah, blah. I bought this for my dad last Fathers day and he saw the trailer and said this does not look good and looks corny. I decided to watch it almost a year later and was very dissaponting. This is in fact just bad enough for Mystery Science Theatre 3000 to make fun of. Please do yourself a favor and do not buy this stupid movie. God bless you and have a great day.
***** Film of my life!.......2005-02-07
My eyes are glued to that movie.It has very good effects for
drowning people(Ronny Cox,Commander Samuelson)and the falling
rockslides and the big explosions!Comparing it to 20,000 leagues
under the sea,this film is far better.It stars Charlton Heston
as Captain Blanchard,David Carridine as Captain Gates and Stacy
Keach as Captain Bennett.If you havent seen this movie rent it out now and enjoy.
P.S. Rate it 5 stars or their WILL be something really wrong!
