It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.
A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.
It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
This movie is about US nuclear submarine armed with ICBMs, which is send to Pacific ocean for quite a long term. After some time some team members became sick with some unknown "lepra"-like contagious decease. They got orders not to return to base but stay in open ocean. Submarine commander discovers that this decease was spread out from missile warheads, which were not usual nuclear devices but some biochemical weapons. Meanwhile commander befriends dolphin, who starts to follow submarine all the time - apparently it's because Commander is a decent officer who is able to maintain dignity in such difficult situation. When team became tired and dangerously crazy Commander decides to disappear whole submarine and open piracy at high seas to allow his people some way to spend their last days with pleasure of plunder and rape. They prefer to hijack tourist ships, take supplies and pretty prisoners and hide all evidences under water. But when crazy team members decides to launch biology tipped missiles to avenge whole world for their fate, Commander maneuver submarine too deep underwater and crashes it. Friendly dolphin make nice farewell scream. That's all :)
