You can almost hear the studio pitch meeting echoing throughout Crimson Tide like the sonar on the soundtrack: "It's The Cain Mutiny on a nuclear submarine!" When radio communications problems aboard the USS Alabama prevent the sub from receiving its orders clearly during a tense confrontation with Russian warships, Navy officer Denzel Washington faces a huge ethical dilemma: countermand the orders of legendary Captain Ramsey (Gene Hackman) to fire nuclear missiles, or follow his command and risk launching an unprovoked nuclear war. It's really an actors' picture, and the fun is in the fireworks between Washington and Hackman, each of whose characters articulates solid reasoning behind his decision. There are no easy villains, and there's no easy way to tell right from wrong--that's what makes the nuclear stakes so terrifying. Director Tony Scott (who directed Quentin Tarantino's True Romance script) called in Tarantino to punch up the dialogue, which is why, for example, the sailors talk about Silver Surfer comic books. The digital video disc is in anamorphic widescreen; the sonorous underwater rumblings on the Dolby Digital 5.1 soundtrack will provide you with a good opportunity to show off your system's bass response. --Jim Emerson

 "Tide ain't a-rollin' " February 8, 2010

Received DVD in just a couple days, however, it was poor quality, kept stopping and starting, skipping erratically, quite a nuisance to watch. Only paid six bucks for it, so I guess the adage is true, "you get what you pay for". Would be hesitant to order from this site in the future.
 good movie January 27, 2010
Bonifacio F. Gulla (SoCal, USA)
It's a good movie but it's still a Hollywood breed. Pets are not allowed in US Navy vessels. Outright insubordination, mutiny, attempted shootout, and much more are inconsistent with today's Navy and, as a consequence, are not easily "dismissed" as the movie implied.
 Crimson Tide January 4, 2010
Arnita D. Brown (USA)
When a volatile Russian nationalist and a rebel faction of the former Soviet Union Army seize control of a nuclear missile base, it triggers the greatest global emergency since the Cuban Missile Crisis. With the world on the brink of disaster, the USS Alabama sets sail, patrolling Russian waters with enough nuclear firepower to start World War III. As the crisis escalates, the unthinkable occurs: the Alabama is given an order to launch its nuclear missles. In the resulting chaos, two dedicated naval officers--the Alabama's seasoned commander, Captain Frank Ramsey, and his brilliant executive officer, Lieutenant Commander Ron Hunter--clash over the validity of their orders and vie for control of the sub. This movie has everything you could want from an action thriller and a few other things you usually can't hope to expect.
A classic thriller in High-Def!!! December 17, 2009

I've had this blockbuster film on DVD for many years and was all too happy to upgrade to the Blu-Ray version of "Crimson Tide" recently. The picture is STUNNING in high def and the sound is AWESOME in Dolby 5.1 DTS! The viewing experience is exceptional with details on-screen and life-like audio that enraptures you and gives you that "being there" feeling. "Crimson Tide" on Blu-ray is a welcomed addition to my growing collection of classic films re-issued in the best media format to ever watch movies at home. I cranked my Pioneer Elite THX Digital Receiver with Boston Acoustic Surround Speakers with Sub-woofer which brought the movie audio to life with awesome effect! Now, if they (the respective studios) would only hurry up and release "Bad Boyz II", "Jurassic Park", and "Apollo 13" on Blu-ray... What's taking so long???
Still a great movie November 23, 2009
Samantha (CA)
We saw this in the theater when it came out. It still holds up and would rather watch this than what is out there now passing now for a movie. I'm actually having a hard time ordering DVD's because the movies (exceptions of course, ie Slumdog Millionaire) have been awful these past years. If a movie does have a plot, good dialog, etc. it tanks at the box office. Don't get me wrong, I love "popcorn" movies -Pelham 123 was really fun.
