Movie Reviews of K-19: The Widowmaker
Movie Review: Rip-roaring intensity from start to finish
Summary: 5 Stars
Based on a true story of a Russian nuclear submarine with a reactor that has run a-muck, and threatens a tentative peace between Russia and the United States during the cold war. Ford and Neeson are up in arms over how to handle the crisis when the reactor cracks and starts to leak its deadly radiation. It is one roller coaster ride after another. The hardest part is in the knowing that these men lived this insanity, and in the glory of their undertakings were forced to keep silent about it for some 30 years. This was a well done movie, an edge of your seater from start to finish. You can't go wrong with this as a pick for a night out...enjoy. Kelsana 8/6/02
Movie Review: Without a doubt - the best TRUE movie
Summary: 5 Stars
As for the person, who was born and lived in the USSR, "K 19: The Widowmaker" is a flashback... Flashback from times, when brave men have suffered from the Communist Government because of their crazy ideas. Afganistan, Chernobil and K 19.Kathryn Bigelow's movie is not the new fake about the cold war, like any other film made before. This is the REAL tragedy, which will make you cry. At last American Movie Industry tried to tell the truth.
Casting is perfect and on the top of it briliant artists - Harrison Ford and Liam Neeson.
There are more secret stories from the history of the USSR to discover.
Movie Review: Tragedy at sea
Summary: 5 Stars
This has to be one of my all time favorite movies. For some reason though, it didn't stay in the theatres all that long. K-19 was the USSR's first nuclear powered submarine but it was doomed from the start. When they tried to christen the sub, the bottle didn't break; which is a bad omen. The most tragic part of the movie for me was when the reactor was very close to a meltdown. Not wanting another Cherynobyl, crewmembers volunteer to try and fix the reactor knowing that they will most likely die. Watching that part was difficult because you feel like you're there. This is a movie that everyone should see.Movie Review: Просмотрение K-19
Summary: 5 Stars
For those who don't know russian the title of this was (Просмотрение K-19 - Review of K-19, thought I'd be funny there)
This movie is not so much a combat movie it's a what happened movie. The flagship of the Russian Navy though not quite ready for sea gets put underway with 2 Captians, yea that kinda don't go over so well. They have a reactor accident and it seperates the men from the boys. It is quite a gripping movie though. This is also one that needs to be bought not just rented.
Movie Review: Serving the Soviet Union, Comrade General!
Summary: 5 Stars
K-19 The Widowmaker is a great dramatic depiction of this real life event from 1961, when a Soviet nuclear sub almost had a meltdown. Harrison Ford and Liam Neeson rise to the occassion by making it believable and intense. Ford portrays the overly harsh commander and Neeson the captain in touch with the men. Probably the best submarine movie there is, especially when compared to the ridiculous "Crimson Tide" and "U-571". The cold war aspect pervades the film and the men heroically risk their lives stopping a nuclear meltdown.
