There is tension and then there is Das Boot. This is the Director's cut version which runs an extra hour longer than the theatrical cut.
Picture = 10 WOW!!! The sharpness and the colours on this disc are amazing. Presented in anamorphic widescreen at the original aspect ratio. The real triumph for the transfer is that the contrast is perfectly maintained even in the murky submarine. Sound = 9 The sound is presented in Dolby Digital 5.1 in both English aand German. The tension is built up greatly by the quality of the sound presentation. The noises coming from all around the room make this a very tense experience. Extras = 8 Commentary by Wolfgang Peterson running the entire 3 hours 20 minutes of the movie. There is also a short making of documentary. Theatrical trailer is also present. Overall There are not many better releases than this for picture and sound. note: Get the Region 2 because the American disc requires it to be flipped mid-movie, the UK one is all on one side!

Like the technical info, good to know when buying a DVD. I've never seen this film though and was looking for more on what it's about and what the performances are like. Cabron xx
