Thanks for posting the trailer.

New stuff @2:00 and forward. Bad sound quality?
From an ex-SEAL:

is that this is the most technically and tactically accurate Special Operations movie ever made in my opinion.

Still, hollywoodish and big ad for the NAVY. Said.

This is going to be a very big advertisement for the Navy

Wow. That really looks badass. Much better than that ST6 movie trailer from 08. that looked like garbage. It's nice to have an honest-to-goodness good guys v bad guys scenario instead of some artificial "But are we really teh good guys?, cuz those terrorits are just fighting for their homeland too" BS. Looks like it will be pretty realistic too. (Plot inbetween raids and explosion effects nonwithstanding) Hope this goes well!

Long trailer for a "short" film, I fear disappointment.
Still going to see it anyway.

I'm pretty much done with those 'America, fuck yeah!' kind of movies. Still, if they get this done without resorting to over the top Hollywood action and 'oh we are honorable warriors fighting for freedom against the world of nonbelievers' I might watch it. Might.

I gave up on expecting honest war movies from anybody. I mean, the Pentagon-funded ones are obviously going to be mostly propaganda, but some producers can try and appeal to the more 'patriotic' crowds Since plenty of big-budget pictures tend to be US, that's the crowd they're aiming for. Of course, lately, it's gone from the 'America, fuck yeah!' side and shifted to the 'Yeah, fuck America!' side, but still.

When another country gets off their collective asses and becomes the new hero or go to military force then you can bitch and complain if you ask me.

Looks pretty awesome to me, if unrealistic.

How is it unrealistic? The plot or the technical side of it? The story might be unrealistic (it's fiction), but technical stuff is correct, such as the way they operate, the terminology, the technology, the fact that there's no CGI, it's all real, etc. If the Navy Seals say it's technically accurate and realistic, then I take their word for it. Although, yeah, at the end of the day, it's still an action movie. It's still hollywood, so it will be dramatized. Still doesn't stop me from wanting to go see it.
