Trailer for Greyhound. WWII naval movie starring and screenplay by Tom Hanks.
- Thread starter Lionel Mandrake
- Start date
Dammit, signed up for a free + trial only to realize sony tvs aren't supported. Should have done my research first. Will figure something out tomorrow.
Excited about all the positive impressions.

Hanks was on Hardcore History??? Holy shit. I haven't kept up with Hardcore History in the last year or so but I need to check that out.
You can access the service from within a browser so if you have any device that can plug in or mirror to the tv that should work
I hate this forum sometimes lol.
Just watch the goddamn movie.
I want the hdr/atmos goodness so that rules out my old laptop and phone sadly.
You can't blame the people for being wary after a shitty trailer.
He's talking about people so anxious to post that they update you while watching a movie instead of just waiting 90-120 minutes to finish the thing first.
Well my post was the first since mid June in this thread so got people talking again. And honestly i dont see a problem with me taking a bathroom break 50 minutes into a streaming movie I can pause and posting that this was way better than i expected.
So uh, loosen up is the kind way to put it.
You never check your phone when watching a movie at home, Sculli? Never? Never ever?
Why does Apple make it so hard to stream their content? I can't get the app on consoles and not able to get it on my TV. Just let people stream shit like every single other service.
Yeah it sucks that the app is only available on some devices. Cheapest way to get the Apple TV app seems to be the Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K, I bought one to access my iTunes movies and Apple TV+. But you can't use Apple Music or AirPlay with the app, unfortunately.
Really pleasantly surprised by the movie. Definitely a history/military buff movie as a ton of the dialogue and tension is built through relaying commands.
The sound mixing and choices are a real standout though.

Not unless I've seen the movie before or my wife is forcing me to watch something that we both know is bad - like the other night when I had to watch Jewel of the Nile.
My condolences on Jewel of the Nile. Watch a good 80's movie as a palette cleanser.
I'll be watching Greyhound tomorrow night. I will do my best to pay attention and not multitask.
phew - happy to hear good impressions. honestly the shit trailer and the saturation advertising that has me actively muting my ipad anytime it come up so I don't have to hear 'rain hell from on high' for the millionth time had put me off completely even though TH and the premise had me interested.
Its like Michael Bay did the audio mixing for the trailer its obnoxious

Same. The only way I can watch Apple TV stuff is a chromebook attached to a TV via HDMI. It's really not ideal. The apple player on chrome frankly is subpar. I watched the Beastie Boys this way and it just wasn't great. I would like to see this with good picture and sound. I'm sure it'll be "fine" (the experience not the actual film) but it sucks.
Looking forward to watch the movie in the coming days.
For the people complaining about a warship "drifting"... Different circumstances obviously but how about a Supercarrier doing a drift?
Every new carrier has to perform high speed tight turn manoeuvres during the testing process.

The funny thing is that line is taken completely out of context for the trailer, it's said in relation to
what will happen to two sailors who got in a fistfight if they do it again.
Loved it. The only downside is that it was a bit on the short side, but other than that a very enjoyable experience.
If I could only watch one type of movie the rest of my life, it would be WWII movies starring and/or produced by Tom Hanks.

I really wish they would do a band of brothers/pacific style series for the Pacific Theater Naval action. I mean ships like Enterprise were basically there for the whole war and at times were almost the only ships the US even had at sea when things were at their darkest hours.
I imagine the cost is the biggest issue as Navy action is not something you can replicate with guys running around in the grass etc.
You mostly listed fairly recent stuff.
Judgement at Nuremberg
Black Book
The Guns of Navarone
Hell in the Pacific (low key underrated classic, I'd watch it for Toshiro Mifinue and Lee Marvin onscreen, you don't really get legends like that together anymore.
The Bridge on the River Kwai
Army of Shadows
I am a ww2 buff and enjoy watching well made war films. But i don't know, it gets a bit samey with him.
Unexpected bump, but thanks for the recommendations! Always looking for more movies to watch while stuck at home
This movie was like the john wick of navy movies. So great. Hanks was great. sound was great tension was great.
It was so-so. Not much of a climax in the 3rd act. Only 80 minutes.
There wasn't much tension. Uboats immediately detected. Respond according to protocol. Results in defeat or escape. Repeat as necessary.
That opening scene in the hotel foyer set a really bad tone for the movie. The rote recitation of lines. The total lack of reaction to the gifts they were exchanging. I couldn't tell if she was meant to be his lover, sister, or even at one point a colleague in the service until he said the "marry me" line.

Not at all. On a ATV 4k it offers the best quality of any streaming service by far. Bitrates have been measured to be >30Mbps for a stream.
checked it on my fire stick 4k/oled and it's perfect. Not sure why win10/lan connection/ie is so poor in my home theatre.
Oh I never did see Fury, got to check that out this weekend. Thanks.
I thought HBO Max turned out to be higher. Regardless, ATV and Max look the best of any service I've used. I just wish ATV had more content, but what they do have has been generally really good.
Maybe for 1080p content, but for 4k (which HBO doesn't offer) Apple TV+ is the highest (besides the occasional YouTube stream).
Really enjoyed it, very tense throughout the whole thing. I enjoyed seeing how they calculated trajectories.
The sound cues were drawn from orcas, like how they coordinate and hunt seals.
That was a great movie. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Tom Hanks love for the details and the time period is really noticeable. I would watch more movies like this in a heartbeat. Military procedurals are fascinating.
Scullibundo, I didnt touch my phone or iPad once. To be honest, there is no lull in which to do so. It's tense and nerve wracking from start to finish.

I liked it a lot. I thought all the stuff they tried to do with Tom Hanks character was DOA, but other than that good war movie
