Any movie based on alchemy is flawed to begin with. This was so improbable that I turned it off after super hero and superwoman kill all the bad guys chasing them

lousy plot, lousy structure ... don't waste your time

I'm a diver and liked the film. Only things that stuck out were the issues with diving. If I heard correctly they were going for 300 feet of depth - which is kind of out there in terms of possibility. I'd look more at the 200 ft level like in the Shadow Divers u-boat discovery. Also, anyone coming to the surface from a level that deep is going to go into instant shock with the bends in a very gruesome way - which could be awesome for effects - but no one would be able to follow them to the surface without doing extensive safety stops. Definitely advise reading Shadow Divers if you haven't already.

This is just an ol cowboys thought on this. When I viewed the early work I thought the storyboard had promise,and I still do. The ratings are positive. The story has come a long way.I wouldhave bumped up the scores but some fine tinkering in dialogue and structure will make this story, Solid. Four stars is within your grasp. I wish that it would've been possible to score 3and 1/2 on the 3 stars. Five stars from me (and whom am I) are reserved for the greats. ie Ben-Hur, Terms of Endearment, Serpico. etc. I believe that this story should go to film. It beats an (awful)lot of movies that were released this year. Go for it. I'll look forward to the finished product in the theaters.

Thought it was great..not sure that the idea that Germany would go to war with US over this works. That plus they don't have much of a Navy. I think the take over of US leadership does work.

Overall, it was a good movie, but it is non-stop action and made me tired. Some of the action was just unbelievable. It was like watching two superheroes take on the world and win. In addition, there was nothing about the male lead that made me connect with him in any real way. Frankly, I never cared about him or the female lead or why they were running around finding "keys" or whatever. The one real compelling moment was when his friend was killed by the pirate, but that moment never developed. There was no outrage or remorse. It was a forgotten point until the very end. Also I never got how they "saved" the President.

A nifty Bourne-meets-Bond by way of The Da Vinci Code thriller. Check it out!

The transitions (twists and turns) are, again in my humble opinion, not clear enough to take the audience from the search for a Spanish sunken ship to a Nazi U-Boat.

I really like the premise - scrap metal into gold and the power it will give the holder.
It doesn't appear to be clear in who are the bad guys, the twist from a Spanish 17th Century ship to the U-Boat of WWII, and the triumph of the good guys.
The coin is the only constant factor in the link to alchemy in my opinion.
There should be some foreboding factor in the set up scenes linking the story to gold.
Also, greed shouldn't be the only factor motivating the good guys, though it could be the strongest factor. Although that said, there is the point taken that if the bad guys get the alchemy agenda, they could do great harm to the world and its people.-That should be heightened through scenes of possible outcomes if the bad guys win.
Perhaps linking the hero to a relative that served in WWII on the winning side may improve the hero's motivation as well, a father or uncle that served in the American military.

I love me a good submarine movie. This wasn't a submarine movie but was still enjoyable.

The plot is good if convoluted. The characters were fairly well-developed and actual actors would only improve my emotional attachment. While filled with cheeze (super swimmer paired with aquaphobe?) and skirting the line between believable and comic book (60-year-old autonomous defense submarines?), I found the story interesting.

I'd go see this in theaters.

I was apprehensive about watching this test movie. I didn't like the idea of the "story board" look to it. After 5 minutes, I didn't even think about it. The story line and vocal acting was great. I will definitely watch this when it comes out as a movie. I don't even care that I know how it ends.

Right away I thought I was watching a Clive Cussler book made movie ala Dirk Pitt or Kurt Austin. Same kind of male oriented action adventure. I did enjoy the character development for the female character though - more than able to handle the rough stuff on her own. I'd go see it!

I hate to give this such a poor review but, I could not get through this format it is so hard to watch this type of presentation. It's boring and dull to sit through. I think you would need to use an insentive just to get people to watch it all the way through.

The premise for this movie - Nazi gold - has been around for a while and always seems to draw interest. This movie could go places. However, instead of making smart and going the way of the Bourne movies, this seems more like a crappy Matthew McConaughey movie that appeals to people who like The Fast and The Furious. You don't have to have tons of explosions and loose women to make people want to watch a movie. How about making it smarter, instead of dumber. While flashy things attract viewers at first, something more authentic will keep them coming back.
