Sorry to say I was so disappointed with this one. I expected more of an historical story with realism, but got mostly mambo-jambo.
Only good thing must have been some parts of the tank battles, but even those were far from perfect. Close to every shot were a direct, crippling hit at any distance?
And for the rest of the series there were simply too many illogical and completely stupid "insidents" to rate this one higher than a "2".
Lucky for me I saw it on a free subscription, although I feel sorry for wasting those hours.
Can't understand those rating this one above a "5". No way they can have any need for realism or historical aspects.

How bad can a movie get?
2 December 2002
Warning: Spoilers
***SLIGHT SPOILERS*** I can't remember a single scene in the entire movie that were even slightly believable. Smart sharks? OK. But how were they able to change their size(to get through the doors) and break those doors which can take tons of weight? How could they "throw" the stretcher, with the armless still breathing and fully awake professor 20m below the surface, about 10 meters trough water to break a underwater window. And why didn't the water flow faster through the completely broken 2x10 meter window? The room would have been filled in less than a second. I complete my frustrations by commenting the stupidity of the last surviving woman who were smart enough to kill one shark by electricution but had to sacrifice herself to lure the "supersmart" shark back to be shot by an well aimed shot. The shooter? A cook who had just survived a 20 second "ride" in the jaws of a shark resulting in the only visible injury of a small fleshwound. The chef who earlier had killed one shark by igniting some gas from an oven in the underwater kitchen. Coursing an enormous explosion which he himself of course survived. Finally, the other survivor had a last rendezvous with death by surviving another explosion caused by selfmade dynamite(gunpowder from signalflares). The shark was of course killed by this which could have sunk a russian submarine. The humanoid swam to shore almost unharmed. "Some" research and simple logic could have been useful in this movie to get it to some degree plausible. Last question: How can Samuel L. Jackson appear in such a bad movie? If you want to see a festival of impossibilities, see this movie!
