You can't imagine how excited I was to see this movie! Since I'm 9 years old, I played games like Silent service and lastly silent hunter 5.

I was always attracted to naval battles from the Second World War with massive ships and those submarines which are kinda misplaced in that era as it's hard to imagine that the engineering what that great back then.

But now to the movie:

I watched U 571, crimson tide, das boot, midway, Yamato, etc... but this has nothing to do with the worst of the movies above (which is U571).

Even if these 2 movies are not perfect, I can tell you that they make way more sense than this one.

Never had I expected such a boring and u realistic movie!

It feels like they had to cut it down from 300 minutes to 78...

They are a lot of scene in which you see the destroyer all alone in the sea and suddenly, it's surrounded by uboats or convoy ships.

Then, you have u boats attacking destroyers (=submarine killer!!!!) on the water surface with the deck gun that can't bet manned as it just surfaced and you can't keep Someone on that gun while under water (not even in Hollywood).

Then, the use of water bombs is a puuuure joke!

Usually you set those to detonate in a certain depth. Not in this movie! They explode as soon as they hit the water surface lol!

Then, there is an evil commander from the Germans who keeps taking over the radio to tell the crew of the ship that they are doomed lol!

Sorry, this movie missed it all.

It's not an action movie, it's not historically accurate or realistic.

It's simply the worst naval war movie I have seen in my whole life! And this is said by someone who loves this type of movies.

Don't watch, unless you want to waste your time.

I did expect much, but this topped all of my expectations regarding this movie!

It's made like an old-school thriller you know from the late 80th to early 2000 - only a very few special effect but a great, complex and logic story.

I love the way this movie is made. Not just that the camera is always very well placed, but the dialogs, the actions taken and the personalities of the characters are very realistic.

Even if the plot is an of the more "common" ones, the making of the movie gives it something almost unique. The suspense is lasting till the last minute and often you have for yourself to think about moral decisions and a character that you liked in the beginning may become unfriendly to you as the movies goes on.

One of the best part of the movie is the very last scene - it's so well done that I had to give it a 10/10 rating, even if I have to admit that I enjoyed The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo a liiiitle bit much more.

Thanks for that great movie that proves that they are still good directors out there making good movies and not things like X MEN number 10000000.

GREAT WORK!

I loved this movie! As an Frenchguy, I usually say: German movies, especially psycho films, are very bad. This time I changed my mind: Urban Explorer is an good Horror-Thriller with explicit gore scenes.

I saw on some comments that the film feels like Hostel. It does not at all! Hostel is an absolutely other type of movie. It only wants to shock with "ultra gore and splatter". Urban Explorer does not, but is also very bloody.

The biggest difference between Hostel and Urban Explorer is, that the psycho factor is much more realistic in Urban Explorer: When you watch Hostel, you only see some "perverts" who have no real psychopathic personality.

In Urban Exploerer, the killer is really insane and I really feared him as I think that some of those guys really exist in our world. The ones of Hostel do not.

In some points, the film might be unrealistic, but it' s straight in his handling and if I sum all the together, I can say: It' s more an psycho film with some horror elements and not the opposite.

Some people just don't get the psycho factor and refer the movie to B-movies like "scram" that has nothing to do with this master piece.

I loved it!

This movie, despite of being typical, actually is more than it seem to be.

First, I was really annoyed when my girlfriend said it' some kind of "trash horror movie" and even if she already bought 2 tickets, I did not really want to watch it.

Now, after seeing it, I am really happy, that I did not pass it.

It was a great movie with less "star & trademark" factor. Most of the actors are new to me and I cannot say, that they are "the best ones", but every actor fitted perfectly in his role! When you talk about the story, well, here comes the "trashy" element: aliens attack "the block" and want to kill the teens, which don't know why and they try to escape and fight against em and @ some points, the monsters look really scary. But the movie has a good mixture of everything: joke, action, gore and scream - I really liked it! All in all, the movie has an not to underestimate message to pass and so it is not as sketchy as you might first thing - it's about prejudice, something that is all present in our world.

It's not a must see movie and many people might not find it that special. But if you like comedy horror movies, it's a nice movie to see, especially because of the good cast, which is not known by now, but faces you will see more often in future films.

There is a reason why I do not like this movie.

It's not because of the special effects, actually, they are great! Nor it's because of the cast - most of em did an good job.

The thing I do not enjoyed is, that the director tried to combine 2 types of movies - but he missed his goal to 99 %.

The problem @ Columbiana is, it wants to be a bit less realistic, but that for more cool - Yeah, some scenes are! But to try to on the other hand make the film emotional, is a real bad mistake. In not any scene I felt pain or anything else, not even as "Mamma" and the other guy were killed. They made it too dramatic and when you imagine this "super special woman" that can climb under a car like Spiderman and swim in a sharks aquarium (with no logic entrance), you do not really believe in her feelings.

The director should had made a decision: Even he does an surrealistic movie like kill bill all over the line, or a drama, like Leon (wich was a way more realistic, even if not the most realistic movie).

One other thing I missed in the movie: I did not laugh @ anytime... an action based film without any funny scene is really really bad.

whatever, if you shut down you brain completely and like hot girls, then you might like it.

If you expect an good action movie with some story, you will be disappointed :(
