1990 American submarine spy thriller film, directed by John McTiernan, produced by Mace Neufeld.

Starring Sean Connery, Alec Baldwin, Scott Glenn, James Earl Jones, Sam Neill and Joss Ackland. Plus of course many talented others. Nothing inferred by list order.

Seen it dozens of times and will never tire of doing so.

The plot, script, acting, camera work, composition and framing, sets, continuity, sound reproduction, all beyond compare. Basically, brilliant, faultless cinematography.

If they could do that 34 years ago then why the hell can no one do it today?

CGI is all but destroying big film and cinema. AI will inevitably only make things even worse.

Unfathomable plots, boring graphics, ceaseless irrelevant car chases, inexplicable, incredibly poor imitations of explosions, all but inaudible sound reproduction. Poor casting of anyway crap acting by third rate, mumbling amateurs. Submission to nauseating 'positive discrimination' by mentally sub normal Wokes.

The Hunt for Red October filled my TV, filled my living room and filled my mind. Unassailable!

Depressing when you can scroll from top to bottom of Netflix, Plex or similar listings, hundreds of films, and realise that almost nothing created this century is worth watching.

Maybe an idea for today's Movie Directors and Producers to watch The Hunt for Red October once in a while! Maybe they might learn something!
