K-19: The Widowmaker (DVD, 2002)

Harrison Ford is excellent in this movie as he portrays the captain of the ill fated Russian nuclear submarine, K-19. It seems in the early days of using nuclear fusion to generate power, the Russians were quite careless. They used shortcuts and unrealistic deadlines to their detriment. Since this is a true story it has more impact. It is a chilling portrayal of a Russian nuclear submarine during its early trial run. The nuclear reactor on the submarine malfunctions. What to do? How to make a judgment when the technology is so new? Several attempts to repair the nuclear reactor resulted in some sailors being exposed to much harmful radiation. The movie does not tell much of the end results, but the book does. The sailors who survived spent their remaining years in various stages of radiation illness. A great movie !! Excellent acting by Harrison Ford as the stern, immovable captain of a doomed submarine.

Although my wife loves Harrison, she could barely muster enough energy to stay awake during this movie. Me, not to let a movie go to waste, watched until the end. My opinion, this movie needed a better plot, better actors who could hold their accents (Harrison needed a better coach) and the ending make-up of them all old, looked like someone grabbed the rubber masks & false facial hair & stuck it on their faces. I know this isn't saying much about the movie but that is what most stood out are these few annoying nuances.

The sub was spectacular and although I believe this one was filmed partially in Northern Manitoba - still needed something more. Below Average rating :(

K-19 is an interesting submarine story of a disastrous Soviet sub mission. The movie shows the sacrifice and courage of those involved, all painstakingly recreated aboard a mockup Soviet sub. This is one to pick up for sure if you're interested in sub movies or a Harrison Ford fan, or if you enjoy thrillers that are a little different that most.

We had seen this movie when it first came out and wanted to add it to our movie collection. thank you for sending it so quickly, it was in excellent condition and we thoroughly enjoyed watching it again
