Dynamic Denzel Washington (TRAINING DAY) joins Hollywood favorite Gene Hackman (ENEMY OF THE STATE) along with Viggo Mortensen (THE LORD OF THE RINGS trilogy) and James Gandolfini (TV's THE SOPRANOS) in this intense action thriller that's a smash hit with audiences and critics alike! In the midst of a global crisis, the USS Alabama receives an unconfirmed order to launch its nuclear missiles -- signaling the start of Word War III! The tension quickly rises as the sub's respected commander (Hackman) and his brilliant executive officer (Washington) clash over the validity of their orders ... battling each other for control of the sub! As this epic struggle rages under the sea, CRIMSON TIDE brings motion picture excitement to a new level -- and you to the edge of your seat!

Summary: Improbable
Comment: This movie is a lot of fun and Gene Hackman is his usual talented self, although he reminds me of slim pickens in Dr. Strangelove - although he is portrayed as a well meaning guy, but the plot has more holes than a leaky barge. A nuclear sub only has one radio? If this is true we are in alot of trouble, The fate of the world rests on one man - the radio man??? A captain who ignores a countermanding, or at least modified command, before destroying the world. It would be his duty to find out what was on that message, not a nuisance. If he had to place his boat in jeopardy, so be it. I hope this is not the way we decide how to destroy the world. Scary.

Summary: total garbage
Comment: I served on board an ssbn as a sonar tech. everything about this movie is wrong from the basic plot to having a dog onboard.not one thing in this insulting movie is based in reality.the characters are weak-minded cowards who would never be allowed on a sub.everyone involved with this movie owe the navy an apology.there is no entertainment here and the controversy generated by thier situation is sheer lunacy.do not spend your hard earned money on this crap,they don't deserve it.

Summary: One Of The Best Submarine Movies Ever
Comment: Take a look at the cast list and with such a powerful and talented group of actors how can this movie not be good? Denzel Washington, Gene Hackman, Vigo Mortinson, James Gandolphini...the list goes on and on. The previous reviews of the extended edition concerned me when I ordered but fear not, the editing is seamless, it flows very well and I think it adds even more depth to the film. Great film, great movie. Highly recommended.

Summary: Disappointing transfer to DVD
Comment: This review refers to the 1998 edition of 'Crimson Tide'. The movie itself is good, worth 5 stars. The transfer to DVD is relatively poor (not horrible, acceptable)for a recenet movie (1998). The format is widescreen, but NOT enhanced for large screen TVs, so you wind up with the "letterbox" picture with large swaths of black on all sides of the picture--not good for an action film like this (why do the studios still issue DVDs with this format? It is so annoying!). The sound is OK--Dolby 5.1, but the picture is somewhat grainy--moreso than it should be. The DVD transfer is mediocre at best. I viewed this on a 46-inch high definition TV, played on my Toshiba 1080p HD DVD. This movie is now available on Blu-ray which is supposed to look great. I'll repurchase the movie in Blu-ray after I decide to get a Blu-ray player.
