thiago S @Thiagostone Mar 15 Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom See more BM M. @BMann Dec 8 Disappointing. Slow with a very muddy storyline. Some cool shots of sub and fighter jets but avg at best film. See more Blu B @RT43513976 10/05/2023 It's ok. Everything is pretty much average about it save for the subpar pacing which is the biggest issue. This starts really quick and sets the plot up instantly but the middle is where this really drags jumping from dragged out scenes to boring plot exposition. The worst part is when it does both together. This didn't need to have an intermission / overture either. This isn't in the slightest an epic film. The ending is ok enough but nowhere near as action packed as it should've been. This mostly is a war thriller that never really builds tension until the end. This also alternates between too much dialogue and hardly any as well for long spurts. Easily 40 minutes or so could've been cut, especially them breaking through the ice which is where it really started to go downhill. Rock Hudson doesn't get much focus in the middle or second half despite being the main character, main focus of the first half, and arguably the best thing in it. A lot of scenes are boring to look at despite good production value and solid special effects/sets. This needed more close ups and dynamic camerawork especially in the Sub. The music also will disappear for long spurts. When it's used it's good but it becomes really dry at times especially during the boring parts. The first 30 minutes are the best part. Honestly unless you're a die hard Rock Hudson fan I can't really recommend this to anyone. There isn't much war in it and the suspense is only in the last 30 minutes and it really isn't worth sitting through 2 hours to get to it despite overall this not being broken. See more Jack S @RT58840043 08/19/2023 The first half of this cold war action film—a submarine's journey to the threatened Ice Station—is well made and generally suspenseful. But by the time the rescue team arrives at its destination (and immediately after a genuinely exciting action scene where a crew member falls through the shifting ice) the story fizzles into a dull and rather silly routine. See more Jerry E @engelbach 08/10/2023 A film that takes place in such an unusual setting requires a lot of special effects. Unfortunately, those so favorably touted by many are flat, amateurish, and unconvincing, even for 1968 — especially when compared to the sensational effects in its contemporary, "2001." See more Paul G @RT67423558 07/25/2023 A pretty average cold-war action film. No surprises and by the numbers. I only watched it for Patrick McGoohan who continues his intense "The Prisoner" acting. If nothing else is on it might be worth watching but don't go out of your way to see it. See more Read all reviews
