One of the best submarine films ever produced.

Rating: 9/10 (8 April 2006)

Somehow I missed this on the big screen and have just watched it on the little one, with commercials. Nevertheless, this is one of the finest submarines films ever made, and I've seen just about all of them from WWII to the present. Although my interests in submarines relate almost entirely to the U.S., I'm going to purchase this one. I have been out on several types of U.S. submarines and spent several years helping to building nuclear boats. The interior scenes of K-19 are superb. I've never seen a U.S. submarine film with interiors as accurate as this one, even if the nuclear reactor depicted wasn't for real. The acting was outstanding and the photography was outstanding. I'm sure there were technical errors related to the equipment and the history of the event, but I don't really care, and this is very unusual for me.
