I think the effects hold up reasonably well. (spoilers)

Ok, so the close ups of the torpedo hitting the Akula are the weak point and they do alot of CGI trickery by hiding the primary object behind something to obscure the CGI but it works well. It's certainly better than the SyFy CGI seen in things like "SS DOOMTROOPER".

I just turned it off and my thought was that HDTV really hurts pre-digital films. - David Jun 18, 11:53 2
- That's a good point. I did not consider HDTV as we don't have one yet. -- nm - Mel Profit Jun 18, 11:55 1
  - But that's only because they are using old sources for broadcasts. If they went back to the actual film and digitized, it would be as good as anything - zork Jun 18, 11:57
