Well not many WWII cargo vessels, DD's, DDEs' and U-boats running around the Atlantic these days....In this case, CGI is infinitely better than what can be made with actual ships...Cinco Ranch Aggie said:
I posted this on the entertainment board, and was pretty much immediately told that movies like this should not be made because CGI.
I am also looking forward to this.

I find this a curious statement. Do you not find any value in historical fiction at all?Mabel Choate said:

Inspired by true events could very well mean German U-Boats tracked and sank US shipping across the Atlantic Ocean during WWII (true), and not the story of an obviously older than he should have been captain making his first journey through the Wolf Pack.CT'97 said:I find this a curious statement.

There were a lot of officers who were in that situation. Career officers in the navy prior to the war assessed at a very slow rate. Many would end their careers at 20 years as a Lt CDR or CDR and have to revert to a lower rank for retirement. But I know that's not what you are talking about, Hanks playing a man 20 years his younger, of all the things that will get in the way of reality on this film I doubt that will be one.Cinco Ranch Aggie said:Inspired by true events could very well mean German U-Boats tracked and sank US shipping across the Atlantic Ocean during WWII (true), and not the story of an obviously older than he should have been captain making his first journey through the Wolf Pack.CT'97 said:I find this a curious statement.

Then there's the issue of them portraying a Fletcher class DD in the North Atlantic in 1942. Shouldn't it be a WW1 vintage "four-piper", or flush-deck DD?
