I think it sucks that Apple is hoarding for Apple TV release only. Very shortsighted and won't do the visuals or sound justice, ever.

It's a bum deal for Hanks and company as well monetarily and otherwise I am sure. A fine actor and gentleman,...

I had heard differently. Sony had scheduled it for theater release for Father’s Day, but because of the pandemic and theater closures, they couldn’t release it to theaters and ended up shopping it to all the streaming networks. Apple was just the high bidder, not the evil empire.

I thought it was excellent, with taut, crisp, fast-paced direction.

Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson became citizens of Greece today. They own property on Antiparos and Hanks has been a Greek Orthodox convert and Wilson is part Greek herself. The US does not officially recognize dual citizenship but it's not against any specific law

Ditto, just watched it on the Macbook Pro with AppleTV, missed the big screen but the movie was a great one start to finish...really liked it and felt it true to form for that heroic topic area! Tom Hanks is one of the very few best actors of our lifetime and on a very shortlist IMHO.

U-boats did not have the capacity to talk to other U-boats let alone to enemy ships.

My understanding too was that they could communicate with each other.
