Yes, I agree it was very predictable, no major surprises anywhere. Pretty sad acting by the majority, very stiff. A few of the good screen shots that I liked had nothing to do with the crew, that is, the submarine underway.

Why the Navy would even allow this to be filmed is beyond me. It portrays nothing positive about either side here. The fact that they thought that this was a plausible scenario amazes me. The number of flashing lights I saw remind me of the old Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea stories.

If you need a military flik to pass a boring Saturday, watch this... at least you don't have to pay attention to it to get the story.

Saw it tonight at the premier in Raleigh. Film was tied together from start to finish. Lot's of humor, tragedy, tension . Never saw the series, and probably not interested in seeing it. However, this film stands very nicely by itself. River was excellent, and the Capt Mal, a bit weaker than I would imagine this type of Captain to be, but believable. Some of the side characters left a bit to be desired, but the Assassin was well portrayed. Some of the sexual overtones were pointed out, and that was good. Definitely a film worth seeing several times to catch all the quips! The CGI were overall excellent. Planetary displays were good. Lot's of Chinese or Japanese characters present on all decks. International audience or targetted?
