Summary: It is 1942 and the German submarine fleet is heavily engaged in the so called "Battle of the Atlantic" to harass and destroy English shipping. With better escorts of the Destroyer Class, however, German U-Boats have begun to take heavy losses. Das Boot is the story of one such U-Boat crew, with the film examining how these submariners maintained their professionalism as soldiers, attempted to accomplish impossible missions, while all the time attempting to understand and obey the ideology of the government under which they served. (Sony Pictures)
das boot tells the story off german submarine and all its crew. movie is more than shocking, those scenes with enemy torpedo's incoming are top of the art. its even more shocking, when you realise, it really was that way. one of, if not the best action movie of 80's. MUST SEE.
A very realistic film, a claustrophobic environment, death is always lurking, the constant difficulties. I would not attend again, is too long and repetitive, but it is well done.
The original full length uncut version of this film is something to behold. It's epic and everything takes place in a U-boat which makes it even more amazing. It's really a masterpiece in directing that Wolfgang Petersen could create so many interesting tense scenarios and characterization from just a bunch of guys confined in a small area. Just a really amazing film all around and there won't be anything like it for quite some time to come.
An epic film with a running time of almost four hours, yet it never loses its sense of tension and fear throughout. The rare opportunity to see war from the German side brings home the reality that on the front line soldiers are often detached from the politcal overview and are simply fighting for each other and their own survival. The atmosphere of intense clautrophobia and terrifying danger in the u-boat are tantamount and become all consuming up until the horrifying ending.
Very realistic and tense movie about a German submarine crew struggling to make some military progress while staying alive. Despite the long running time of the director's cut (3.5 hours), the story kept me interested, largely thanks to the good screenplay and character development. Too bad the sound of the depth charges wasn't as great as those in 'U-571' :D (though that was quite a bad movie).
Very long and samey, but in a good way. It worms its way into you, so every minor incident feels very tense. I feel like I'd like the mini-series even moreso for that reason alone. The English dubbing kind of stunk though - it was sometimes very inappropriate, as if some bally-ho English generals were wearing German uniforms. Unfortunately my copy didn't have the German dub as an option.
One of my very favourite movies. This tale of german submarine crew is able to potrait the life in submarine better than any film ever. Viewer feels for the characters and is excited about the dangers they confort. This film has several versions, including TV version and they are all good. A true classic that should be seen in original german with subtitles.
Wolfgang Petersen is about as cool as a name you can get. On point however, "Das Boot" is a great film. Tension and emotion endorsed through Wolfgang's camera make this a worthy way to spend three and a half hours.
An epic, contemplative action movie, brilliant in its depiction of a submarine crew's plunge (see what I did there?) into near madness. Too long for comfort, but it never actually gets boring.
