R C Having read the book by Clive Cussler I had high hopes for this film as the book was excellent. They filmed the sinking of the Titanic but cut it from the film why I don't know??? One of the main characters in the book wasn't even mentioned in the film Dirk Pitt's friend and partner Guiordino. The premise of the story is excellent, needing a ore to power a missile defence system which would cover the USA, which was being transported from Great Britain to the United States on the Titanic.... So the only way to retrieve the it, is to raise it. The special effects are superb as is John Barry's score, when Pitt walks through the ship to put the White Star flag on the stern its quite moving. As is when the Titanic reaches New York. Some of the dialogue is awful...put the wormy on the hookey.....! The underwater scenes are well done and the Russian subplot are all from the book. Richard Jordan a fine actor is miscast in this,not my idea of Dirk Pitt. Alex Guinness is good as is Jason Robards, overall a good film of an excellent book. Just ignore some of the dialogue and enjoy! Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/12/25 Full Review Mike P Also known as: Watch the Paint Dry! Or See the Grass Grow...Translation: boring. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 12/01/24 Full Review Megan e This is a really bad movie! Terrible performances, bad graphics, lots of plot holes, and way too long. Not worth watching! 1 star Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 08/29/24 Full Review David W My wife and I throughly enjoyed this genre mash up and whilst it's obviously not accurate in terms of the ships true fate, the cold war story woven around it is both fascinating and exciting. Just about believable enough to be taken seriously, with superb practical (not CGI) special effects and a very strong, committed cast. Excellent, memorable and criminally underrated on RT. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 07/23/24 Full Review R C Super interesting material but you could not more boring movie if you tried. Please save your time. I lost 2 hours of my life I will never get back. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 07/13/24 Full Review Blu B This is a stupid idea for a movie but still how the heck do you make a stupid but awesome fun idea like this and make it SO BORING. Everything about this is just beyond boring. Even when the ship comes up with amazing effects it's still somehow boring because they shoot it in unneeded slow motion and drag a 1 minute scene out for three and a half minutes. The climax of the Russians trying to steal the ship which is insane because the they annouced to the whole world they were raising it so how did they think they were getting away with this is just a whole lot of nothing and is just pathetic. The acting really isn't acting it's just explaining plot for 90% of the dialouge and runtime. The underwaer scenes are super boring as well ebcause it's so dark half the time you can't see or when you can it's just them staring blankly explaining plot. Alec Guiness is the best thing in this, too bad he's only in it for 5 minutes. The music isn't good either and is so boring and lifeless to listen too and makes things worse rather than enhances the mood which is crazy given who made it. The acting, pacing, and cinematography are just horrifcally bad because again it's so lifeless, boring, and nothing but CONSTANT plot expose. The crazy part is the special effects are actually really good and none of the camerawork or technical aspects are like Plan 9 or The Room type broken here it's actually alright. The editing is ok enough though but again it's such a stupid idea to to make this into a poltical thriller. And how in the world you make Jason Robards boring is beyond me. The level of boring in this is like your watching a old nature documentary. Dear Lord Skip This. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/30/24 Full Review Read all reviews
