You won't be disappointed!

It is so daring, it is so ambitious, it is so thrilling and weird and pointed and powerful. I never knew where it was going.

The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

It's a real shame to see such a good movie be trampled by IMDb critics and left whit such a low score, more reason to never trust ratings as a whole.Never the less, K-19: The Widowmaker is a great movie. A true story hidden by the Soviet Union, about the then glory of the motherland "K-19" going through a malfunction that had the power to change the history books. Although its not really that hysterically accurate, it does show what basically happened.After i watched this movie i have came to the conclusion that this movie is a far cry from PG-13. Why you ask? Well all i can say is suspense! Suspense! Suspense! 20 minutes into this movie and i'm already on edge for a whole nother two hours! The special effects for a film made in 2002 are outstanding! Liam Neeson and Harrison Ford made an stupendous performance as main characters.If you like hidden history movies then this movie is for you!

K-19 is the story of a Russian nuclear submarine that bites off more than it can chew; hastily rushed into production, the sub goes on a operational mission to test-launch a nuclear missile. Problem is that their reactor malfunctions and turns them into 1.5 megaton H- Bomb waiting to happen. The engineering crew has to resort to desperate/suicidal measures to get the problem under control.This is a fine premise for a thriller plot, and indeed Harrison Ford and Liam Neeson turn in their usual outstanding performances. The problem, however, is that the movie seems somehow a bit overdone. The action is accompanied by a sweeping romantic film score that often seems to impose its will and intrude on the action. Some scenes are done with a flair for melodrama and overacting that takes away from the outstanding human story.Still, it is a decent popcorn muncher.

Long after Harrison Ford was Han Solo, he was Captain Alexi Vostrikov, and long before Liam Neeson was Brian Mills, Qui Gon Jin or Oskar Shindler, he was Captain Mikhail Potenin in "K-19: Widowmaker"For sown unknown reason I don't like submarine movies, I just find them slow moving and dull (That includes "The Hunt For Red October") "U571" is the only exception. Ford and Neeson are always watchable though, so I decided to give it a go when it was starting on TV tonight. Plot In A Paragraph: It's the height of the 1960's Cold War, and Russia launches the K-19, a flagship nuclear submarine. Aboard this submarine are Captain Alexei Vostrikov (Harrison Ford) and executive officer Mikhail Polenin (Liam Neeson) who is popular amongst the crew. Tension run high between the two, as they clash on regularly occasions . When the vessel's nuclear reactor system begins to leak, the two men and their crew must become brave countrymen to avoid a disaster.It was what I expected it to be (OK I didn't expect either of them to go with dodgy accents) a slow moving tension filled movie on a sub. Though it was a refreshing change to see a movie where Americans were not the brave heroes. The ending didn't fill me with the anger it should have (which was a shame) and I'll probably never watch it again, as whilst Ford and Neeson are as watchable as always, but these are not two of their finest hours.

This movie is a DISGRACE to its director! Tonns of pure LIES, some of which were 100% intensional, if someone could make a list of things that are wrong in this movie, it will be each 2cond second of this movie. Main investor of this movie was NationalGeographic.The movie itself is pretty good tho, if it was named "NOT k19" and there was no Russians or Americans, just red and blue. Otherwise, they used a real story and turned it to a ****** circus. Thre is a lot of things which are so wrong, it made actual veterans feel bad, this movie was successfully forgotten. Nice story, wrong real life events, and not covered attempt to make Russian navy look very very unimaginably bad.
