A film that draws immense power from its sense of claustrophobia and slowly escalating tension. The broader, political and social themes of WWII are ignored in favor of focusing on a group of men driven to the brink of physical and mental collapse. Everything translates so perfectly from screen to viewer; the tension, claustrophobia, and foreboding. An exhaustive film, in the best sense of the word, and a very rewarding one.

This is a military movie where you really get connected with the characters. Even though they're Germans, there's no talk about the master race or world domination or concentration camps -- just a bunch of young men trying to do a good job and stay alive. It's tense and thrilling, sometimes a little cheesy but never gets dull despite a 3 1/2 hour running time.

Four hours of pure tension; Petersen envelops the viewer in the dank, grungy submarine and makes us sympathize with the enemy, as we are able to see that these men, these soldiers are truly no different than any other sailor of any other nationality - they fight for their countries with pride and determination. The levels of intensity Petersen reaches at times are incredible.

Wolfgang's definite masterpiece. Everything is superbly managed and handled, especially the sympathetic and exasperated aura of the crew, from their feelings to their personal apprehensiveness and trepidation. You walk in expecting to dismay and hate the Germans in the submarine, but any traces of animosity and execration for them quickly plummets from the beginning to end. The acting also provides in-depth greatness as well as the extremely confined cinematography. Petersen has lost his touch.

Absolutely amazing. At times the tension simply becomes unbearable. Great use of the claustrophobic space in the ship with some fantastic tracking shots. Superb use of sound as well. The only nitpick is how obviously some of the scenes with the crew outside the ship were filmed on a set. Minor nitpicking of course. The final result is still 100% engaging, with a devastating end to top it all off.

An amazing experience, the build up is slow but effective as you get to know the members of the boat. It does drag a little bit but never for too long and those slow moments serve to remind you of how dull life on the submarine must be. The final hour is where the film really kicks it up a notch and really brings together all the personalities you've come to get to know.

Certainly the greatest submarine movie ever, quite possibly the best film on any sort of boat ever, and one of the best war movies ever. The end is so grim that I would almost fault the movie for it if it weren't so painfully realistic. My score and review are based on the six part mini series; I've never seen the movie version.

Reviewing the 3.5 hour director's cut. Wolfgang Petersen perfectly captures every emotion of the crew in the film. From the drunken cheeriness of the launch, to the sheer boredom and frustration of lack of any action to the unbelievable tension of many close calls and finally the terrible depression at the end of the film. Das Boot allows you to view the german sailors as people, not as just faceless Nazis. In fact I think Das Boot does this better than any other film.

"Das Boot" is a visual masterpiece but it may not be much more. Petersen brilliantly constructs the claustrophobic atmosphere of the sub and skillfully executes every scene, and yet, he's unable to overcome the deficiencies of his own script. The film does succeed in presenting the Germans as flesh-and-bone human beings, but fails to create an engrossing plot, nuanced characters or an excuse for why it should drag on for three frickin' hours. A visual triumph, but a failure in storytelling.

It's 3 1/2 hours long and manages to stay tense the whole way through. It also does a good job humanizing the German sailors. They're on the wrong side of the war, but they're still depicted as being normal and flawed human beings. Rooting for the Germans to survive felt pretty weird, especially since this came out the same year as Raiders of the Lost Ark.

3:30 Director's Cut - A masterpiece of style and atmosphere, with Petersen and his camera crew creating a vivid feel for the claustrophobic layout of the U-boat, making it all the more terrifying once the crew come under attack in a masterclass of unsettling sound design. Some episodic wonderings (inherited from its roots as episodic television) anchored by Prochnow's authoritative, yet somehow inscrutable captain. Darkly ironic finale perhaps tries to cash in on pathos not quite earned.

One thing I can always count on from German WWII films is that I'll leave with a more fulfilling sense of closure than a typical American or British rendition delivers. Using protagonists from the opposing side at least requires something a little more thoughtful than "we struggled but it was worth it for ultimate moral victory."

Amazing war movie. Why? Because it creates a tense, captivating 3 hour long story out of a bunch of relatively unknown actors , with a small budget, in a small , confined space the entire movie long. You are constantly on the edge of your seat, waiting to see how it plays out. .. Great character development and incredible tension building.And what a depressing ending....

One of the last great war movies I've had to cross off my list. It's good, really good, but it's a tad dated. It does an excellent job at depicting the grimy, wet, claustrophobic, and even morbidly intimate nature of being a crew member of a U-boat during WWII. As far as submarine movies go, this is the "Citizen Kane" of those, but that's a small pool of competition.

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.

Fantastic film!You get a real feel for the horrors faced by the German sailors manning the U-Boats in the Battle of the Atlantic and plenty of time to reflect on how it would be an awful way to die.There is also a scene which drives home the dreadful way in which so many of their victims died. Sobering stuff all round. The overriding message though is - dont mess with the British Fritzy boy or we'll f*** you up!

Taut and tight as hell in its authentic depiction, filled with very lengthy scenes of concentrated chaos and claustrophobic tension, all the more better with its down-to-earth (or undersea) spectacle and the excellent acting from all. The Director's Cut is a long motherfucker, but it's rarely ever boring and the agonising length makes some aspects of the film stronger, such as the destructively ironic ending.

True, these are the "bad guys," but that doesn't matter here. These are people, first and foremost, and it was an absolute thrill watching them perform their duty to the very end and see them evolve into men. This is an intense, claustrophobic, gripping film that feels about half as long as it actually is (I watched the 229 minutes director's cut). Time has never flown by this fast for me before. Fantastic movie.

Yes, probably is the movie that better shows how it's the life inside a submarine (after this one I have to say they've never looked so small to me), and is technically great and has a good score and great effects. But about screenplay, characters, rythm... I can't stand easily through the whole movie (specially the DC I tried) and I haven't seen many movies so cold and having that lack of involvement. The Gibraltar mission is the best part, but it's too short for a 3h30m movie.

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.

A World War II submarine adventure of a sort that already seemed outdated as of, oh, twenty-five years previous -- roughly the date of that sympathetic Hollywood portrait of the embittered, weary, but still cunning U-boat commander: _The Enemy Below_. The main idea of how to rise above the war-movie cliché is to push biological awareness to new heights of realism, and hence the lavish attention paid to excretory function, sweat, snot, vomit, body odor, beards, venereal disease, and the like.

By the end of this film, I thought it was really good. I wasn't always thinking that in the middle of watching it though. The film has also been presented as a mini-series and I think that might actually work better. Not just because it's over 3 hours long, but also because it's quite episodic. So much so, that I found it slightly tedious once or twice. Overall though, it was great. My favourite part was the ending. It was perfect and exactly what I wanted.

A truly powerful and remarkable war film, one that captures the horrors of conflict. Yet it also gives a window into the lives of men who, despite being the enemy, still risk their lives just as American sailors did on the high seas.

A masterful film, persuasively expressing the dread of war; Petersen restfully focus on the often tense faces of the crew of the german u-boat we follow, and the result is an unusually compelling war-film relying its conveyance of unquenchable horror on a series of intimate close-ups of panic-stricken faces... Stunning.

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.

For context I watched the 293 minute version (nearly 5 hours), and was somehow convinced to watch the dubbed instead of the subbed. Surprisingly the dubbing is good at times. It helps that a lot of the cast is bilingual and did their own dub. The beginning and ending are pretty good, really slow in places, but very well made for 1981. I may check out the subbed Theatrical (2 1/2 hours) and/or Directors Cut (3 1/2 hours) to see if the pacing is better.

Cute film, very believable. The radist could use some sleep, though.

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).
