Yeah, surface encounters were a... "okay, it's Hollywood, I'm looking past it for a moment" ..... and then you get the cliche Nazi impression radio call from a sub and magically 60 tangos appear on the radar scope all chasing one Fletcher destroyer. [LOL] If you had the sound off you'd somewhat miss that.

I guess their inspiration is a legendary battle inside a 1990's arcade game.

Briefly considered it, but the rental is like $20. I'll wait for the later release and buy it for that price.

In WW2, UBoat tactics did include night surface attacks. Mostly torpedo although deck guns were used in the early Atlantic war. Their doctrine set a minimum range of 300 yards for a night surface attack. Further, their early war doctrine emphasized repeat attacks on the surface. For a UBoat, surface maneuvering preserved the subs mobility as top submerged speed was less than half surfaced and battery life short at top speed.

Sure, but that's not what was pictured in the trailer.

No. Thought about watching the Invisible Man.

Sure, it?s $20. But if the wife and I both watch it isn?t any more than we?d spend going to the theater. And the soda and popcorn is way cheaper at home.

Still considering it, more than likely watch Dish ppv, can watch 3 that Mrs bo might watch for that price. She despises the premise of the movie and will not watch.

Hopefully your floors aren't as sticky as well.
