I thought it was a very good movie. Some here will probably disagree but everyone can have an opinion. Anyway if you have a dts receiver and a good speaker system it will ROCK your house.

U-571.
While this movie isn't as epic as Das Boot, so-to-speak, it still delivers an action packed experience. The story is as follows. A group of American navy soldiers on a submarine must find a secret nazi code machine, and their journey to finding it unleashes a hell of trouble.
MOVIE: 7.5/10
AUDIO: 9/10
VIDEO: 9/10
EXTRAS: 8.5/10
Note: Dolby Digital 5.1 and DTS or on this disc. You will not be disappointed with either.

Marvelous picture. I'd never been too thrilled with Matthew McConaughey's performances in previous pictures, but he was actually superb here, as was the rest of the cast. Not "Das Boot", but close.
The DTS soundtrack is one of the best listening experiences currently available. A massive crew spent nearly a year working on this soundtrack and the sound design of the film, traveling to locations to find actual examples of U-Boats to turn on so they could capture the sounds.
The DVD also has a very informative commentary from director Jonathan Mostow.
I can't recommend it highly enough.

Saw U-571 in the theater, and was only so-so on it. I picked this up in a trade mostly to get a glimpse of the loaded extra features. I like this movie a lot more now - I guess I was comparing too tightly to Das Boot originally (Das Boot IS the standard upon which all WW2 sub movies should be measured). U-571 just has a different feel - but still a good story.
I'd say it's worth a buy. Great DTS sound.

I thought the movie was great, but it could have been longer.
Since I found out it was based on a true story, the length of it is okay.
Probably will purchase in the near future.
