I saw it last night in Houston. Audience reaction was more like satisfaction that someone, somewhere, finally gets it.
Kudos to the operators, the depiction of their ops was amazing and inspiring. I've never seen a nuclear submarine from that perspective before.
Ha...I laughed when I read your post! As my brother and I walked out, I said "This is odd, but you know one of the things that stuck with me? When they looked down at the top of the sail as the sub dived! I have seen subs in a lot of different ways, but never that one, and it was awesome to see."
Good to see I wash't the only one.
