Dotsthavesp I wanted to but couldn't!

Stellead Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful

Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

Taraparain Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

onefern Hmm, I thought it was a pretty good submarine movie! Just a pity that after all the compelling build-up to their only chance of survival, the movie ends and is not quite resolved. And yes, it's true that the lead actress' talents were not shown at all.The relationship between the two actors were also not aptly fleshed out through the flashbacks. It also seemed like much of the crew was too cooperative, and the weak attempt to inject a black sheep only failed to add to the suspense when his attempts to disrupt the status quo were quelled by the other crew members.But overall, I was glued to my chair. A thumbs up. Just too bad for the ending.

Leo The movie is excellent. It's quite difficult for a foreigner to understand and appreciate. What seems like a good joke to a Russian, may seem offensive or even "nationalistic" to foreigners. Examples are given by the previous (Turkish mind you) poster. "Hey Slavs" is an allusion to a very famous novel by Ilya Ilf and Evgeniy Petrov "12 chairs". Also the name of the submarine is "Slavianka" which gives the character the right to call his crew-mates "slavs". "You ain't Ukrainian, are you?" refers to the never-ending "psychological warfare" between Russians and Ukrainians meaning mostly mocking each other and telling harmless jokes.Et cetera, et cetera, et cetera... Like I said, it's absolutely impossible for a non-Russian to understand all this. Just like with Texans, you have to be born in Russia to be a Russian.The movie is great! The love story line is tense and intense. It is depicted through a series of well-made flashbacks which shows just what love of a true Russian navy officer means. And how much friendship means to him.It's a movie about love, friendship and courage. It's a movie about people who do their jobs protecting their country but don't brag about it or even feel they do something outstanding. The movie is filled with wonderful (untranslatable) jokes and fantastic sense of humor. All that played by the best Russian actors.Definitely 10/10!!

Illiarian This movie seems to be alright. And it desperately tries to feel alright. And for a large part of the population it might be alright, but it isn't.This movie may have become the greatest drama of recent Russian movie history. However, it's attempt to describe too much at once greatly undermines its quality.One one hand we have a typical disaster movie - an explosion on a submarine, with all necessary genre "features" - survivors, random acts of heroism etc.On the other hand we have a standoff between main characters, which could have (only could have) been very intense. Unfotunately, Russia seems to have lost all of its acting talents. These actors simply cannot deliver.On the third hand (oh, yeah, there's more) we have personal drama of one of the main characters, delivered through a series of flashbacks. Again, it doesn't touch on any emotional level.On the fourth hand we have a feeble attempt to describe the dire state of Russia'a fleet after the collapse of the Soviet Union. These attempts are not only feeble, but overly nationalistic as well (things like "Hey, Slavs, anybody here" followed by "You are not Ukrainian, are you").Et cetera, et cetera.This movie could have been great. It isn't. It may have been Ernst, who didn't let the movie blossom, but you can't blame Ernst for everything, can you? 5/10, not more

ivalti I have seen an advertisment on TV and went to see this film in cinema. And i was shocked - this is really good film with good playing of all actors. This film is provided by Mariccone's music that help the film to be more pretty. I can't say it is action nor comedy. No, it is well-made drama with an atmosphere of the best films, No, it has its own atmosphere - sad, but sometimes funny. The film to think, and to hope, the film to cry and believe in a better life. This is good film about strong mans. I was depressed for some time but when I saw the film the depression left me. I think forever. I hope, 72 metres would be well-comented and become one of the best films in imdb. Big thanks to creators of this film and good kuck to restorated cinema of Russia!I advice this film to everybody 10/10.
