Seal Team Six vs Zero Dark Thirty
Due to unequal budget, comparing these two movies is a bit unfair.
Anyway, Seal Team Six is a mockery for SEALs and inferior in almost every aspect:
1. The worst - SEAL's appearance, they look like boy scouts
2. Rest of cast is third-rate
3. Impression - pretty much as propaganda for Obama
4. Some facts around assault that are missing from Zero Dark Thirty, are here mentioned, particularly wider air support concept, contact with Pakistani jets and preparedness for clash with Pakistani military. Very interesting was agent's activity on site, around compound, which was not shown in Zero Dark Thirty.
Zero Dark Thirty is better in:
1. Overall cinematography
2. scenery and equipment are very authentic
3. likelihood of events is quite convincible
4. It goes much deeper in details
5. Dialogs sound closer to reality
6. Cast - perfect selection
7. Seal team characters look very authentic. Probably many of us already have seen pictures of real special forces soldiers from multiple sources available from Internet.
8. Maya is awesome - Jessica Chastain did excellent job
9. As we already know - SEAL's combat chatting and assault longevity were ridiculous - unnecessary failure.
Zero Dark Thirty is highly watchable; due to visual luxury and story comprehensiveness, it is multiple times better than Seal Team Six. In spite of missing critical facts shown in Seal Team Six and misrepresented SEAL's combat behavior it is absolute winner
