The marine historian adviser on the movie said "You don't want to be so technically perfect that the audience has no idea what they're seeing, then you've lost them." (source). Well I wonder what would be the technically perfect version like, because this one already is an avalanche of technical orders which are impenetrable for the layman. Just 90 minutes of basically non-stop action where I was like "Yeah this guy surely looks like he knows what he's doing. BOOM TAKE THAT YOU NAUGHTY SUBMARINE." Interestingly, this is also written by Tom Hanks (adapted from a book). I didn't know he was a naval warfare nerd.
