There are some technical flaws in this (like the thrusters that make the satellite reverse) and a bit too much footage of the sub diving. However, this is a good story with escalating suspense and some surprising twists. The tough-guy leads are all fun to watch, particularly Patrick McGoohan and Jim Brown (who comparatively doesn't have much screen time despite the high billing). A solid film that doesn't feel like 149 minutes. Also, it made me very cold.

About an hour too long, very predictable - the guy who goes out of his way to act suspicious turns out to be the baddie, the guy who is about to get married is immediately killed, that kind of thing - and sometimes gets bogged down in being a submarine training video instead of being a quality film. Technically impressive, but not much more.

Ice Station Zebra has an interesting setup, but the execution is flawed. The movie is boring too often and over-long.

a decent spy thriller that is a bit long winded, but fairly well penned and is full of action. if it were a bit more condensed, and had less of the submarine stuff it would have been better. it's a far cry from great, but it is definitely watchable.

I appreciate it technically and also the apparent realism about many technical aspects of the submarine, but I have to say that I didn't find anything more interesting about it. Quite boring and maybe a bit confussing about the several actions and interests.
