Operation Seawolf

The basic plot idea does make sense and was considered in reality - so that was a very good starting point. Effects are mediocre at best for 2022, but are good enough to tell the story, and same goes for the props. The only missing thing left for a good movie was a script and some guys to check it for factual errors - and the one script they decided to realise is a desaster. Way too many banal, horrible timed speeches, no real dialog, no story progression.

Sad thing is, if they had developed a simple storyline, told through dialog and the limited amount of props and effects, this could have been a decent war movie.

This film is either: a) A representation of Germany toward the end of WWII; or b) Have this entire cast & crew & writers & Directors ever seen a 'REAL' WWII submarine picture? Although I did plod through it until the hapless ending, There were so many things wrong with this picture, that I'd like to point out just a few.

Early in the film, the 'new' crew gets all lined up for inspection. To be ruefully honest, they all looked as if they'd just paused their Game Boys, Cell Phone games, or whatever, to get off their fat rears long enough to form some sort of 'line' for poor, unshaven, haggard Dolf Lundgren to inspect. Lundgren looks like he just finished "Rocky IV", and they just got the red coloring off. Not even their uniforms matched! Carry this theme to the locations, the desks & chairs, even the pictures on the wall and you will have an idea of how this film looked. Bad.

It is also way past obvious that the number of people in the film was cut to the absolute minimum. On the U. S. side, there is a guy who keeps running to the General with the latest news -- in his first appearance, he looks like he's thinking: "Gee, I'm really in an actual movie!". Yes, this film is THAT bad!

To be fair, making a film set in ~1945 is more difficult in 2022 then it was in 1945-1950. But still!

Do not waste your time watching this film. This film looks as though the recent 'plandemic' really did wipe out most of the (Hollywood?) population.

Just watched this and I must admit Im a sucker for U Boat movies. This severely lacked in action and any form of character development. As far as realism I wanted to bang my head on the desk several times. It was obviously pretty cheaply made and the CGI wasnt too bad overall.

The acting was ok. Nothing that will leave any kind of a lasting memory but if you like Sub Movies I would say give it a watch. No way I would watch it twice .

Theres a scene where they are on the surface at night towards the end and preparing to fire on a merchant ship. They are on the bridge with Binos and then it shows them turning towards the target to line up. It shows the periscope in the water and the next scene they are on the bridge again. Just little things like that throughout.

Possibly the worst ww2 movie ever made. From start to finish the script, acting and visuals are terrible. Oddly many of the 'action' scenes looked so fake they were actually laughable. In particular many of the camera angles are annoying and distracting. Additionally the movie feels so cumbersome that you forget the original premise of why this submarine is sent out in the first place. Being a fan of ww2 movies this one left so much to be desired, a complete shame as it could have been better, or at minimum, more interesting. I ended the movie feeling bad for Dolph Lundgren, but I guess good work isn't easy to find!

This has to be one of the worst movies I have ever seen. Calling this a B film would be a compliment, but this barely classifies as a C film. After 25 minutes of watching, I'm still lost as to what is happening. All there is, is a bunch of nonsense dialogue and horrible acting in scenes that simply go nowhere. This was worse than what you would see at a fifth grade drama class play. I'm not sure why this was even made, it is complete nonsense and unwatchable, I couldn't even finish it. It lacks any fluidity, is convoluted, and sloppily written and directed.

I can appreciate it's a low budget film, but having a bunch of random dialogue and scenes that don't even make a story, is pointless. I feel sorry for Grillo and Lundgren, because even they look lost in what they're supposed to be a part of. It's like "look at this, say that, look away" end scene. Lundgren has to walk around with a drink in his hand looking lost and aimless - I hope for his sake there was real alcohol in that glass. It's a very generous 2/10 - one star for each of the legendary leads - there's nothing else redeemable otherwise.
