August 13, 2008: I am a firefighter and i feel this move is semi-realistic. First of all, when they are speaking with their S.C.B.A's on (gas mask for those who don't know) they are easily able to be heard. In real life it is very hard to understand people when they have theirs on. Thats just an example. Overall this was a great movie and totally worth buying
