Seal Team VI: Journey into Darkness



Highlight: the cover art
Based on the title of this movie, I think it's fair to assume that it's supposed to be about one of the most elite special operations units on Earth. It's impossible to tell this, however, from actually watching the movie. The team movement, shooting, communications, and constant yelling during firefights (don't even get me started on the macho bickering between teammates) were all hopelessly unrealistic. These guys didn't even look like JROTC cadets, let alone SEALs. There's a reason successful directors hire military consultants when making military movies.

The audio was so poor that I had to plug in headphones on my MacBook Pro just to be able to understand any dialogue. Also, many scenes have radio chatter in the background, which may have been inserted to help viewers understand what in the hell is supposed to be going on, but the chatter is often unintelligible.

A HUGE portion of this film is just edited together "B-roll" from various military...

Unrealistic
Excessive meaningless dialogue. Unrealistic
characters (i.e., arguing w/superior officer).
Competion between characters instead of
goal oriented. Total lack of military discipline.

stunk it up
Not even a b movie...more like an f minus...not worth the time I spent on the download or the time lost.
