The Command

Good historical true story. Probably could have explored the back story and followup events some more (like Chernobyl series did), e.

Movie is basic but allows the audience to relive the feelings, uncertainty and anger of the sailors and their families awaiting the rescue mission. It brings forward the shortcomings of the Russian state following the end of the communist regime in their bid to establish themselves as a stable rival of the western world.

If you exclude the controversy that surrounds the actual Kursk incident which people often compare this movie to, it can actually be called a decent movie worth watching. Seriously just try watching it as a pure fiction and you will be rewarded with a great naval thriller which includes a very good cast of actors, decent cinematography and a quite good story which all of us can learn a lesson from.

I'm all for a bit of artistic license, if it benefits the movie, but was this a joke? A movie that bears only the slightest resemblance to Robert Moore's book and fabricates a whole chain of events that run throughout the movie.

Based upon a true storyIn August 2000, 2-toprpedoes explode and blow the Oscar Class Russian submarine Kursk to the floor of the Barents Sea. With a crew of 118 men on board only 2-dozen survived the blasts.

But a good emotional and moving movie about the tragic death of the Kursk sailors. Of course not everything is correct and many scenes very fictional but again why are people expecting movies to be as exact as documentaries or books?

As a drama about a submarine and the attempts to rescue its crew, it is a so-so movie. However, by saying that it is based on true events, it is an insult to the memory of those the movie claims to be depicting because a significant part of the movie is fiction.

I don't normally knock films when they are inspired by true events for being inaccurate, but this film just changes things in a way that are unnecessary and disrespect the legacy of the men who lost their lives. The human side was depicted well, but that's about it.
