Never realized that German U-Boats made Transformer-like sounds, they must have neglected to mention that when I was watching 'Das Boot' :megalol:

 

Ah well, trailers... hopefully, the movie is better

If you don't mind old(er) movies you could also check out the British film 'The Cruel Sea' (1953) for that in the meantime.

Im willing to give it a go soley on the dim recollection of the book its based on but......

 

Some of the boat's tower art is very overdone and way too stylized. I mean "we are the bad guys" overdone. Shouldnt be a big thing but in combination with Count Dracula apparently being in command of one of them ("Greyhound.....Good luck surviving the night....... (mwahhahaha)") Im more than prepared for disappointment.

 

From the trailer its like Jerry Bruckheimer does Cruel Sea but in its long form, and if it stays at least partially true to the themes and tensions in the Good Shepherd, it may pan out better.

So basically an U-Boat movie from the destroyers captain's perspective? That's awesome! I will see this for sure. When the trailer first popped up on my Youtube a few days ago I skipped it and thought that it was just a new trailer for this "masterpiece":

My expectations from Hollywood are so low these days that they can’t possibly disappoint...

And yet they manage to. :doh:

 

I am totally expecting an all female reboot of Top-Gun.

As long as they do the shirtless beach volleyball scene, I'm OK with that. :music_whistling:

Except ... the CGI looks way too modern and clean-looking, they should have added filmgrain or at least made it less glossy and lower the color saturation of the water.
