You can see in the outlines of the OceanGate tragedy the sickness writ small, like the seed of a virus from which a vaccine is engineered. Our immunity is still too weak.

The Titan has been the subject of documentaries before. It will be the subject of documentaries to come. But director Mark Monroe’s nearly two-hour “Titan: The OceanGate Disaster” is the most exhaustive exploration thus far.

James Cameron’s Titanic was largely about how the Titanic was sunk by human hubris, and that’s also the case with this Netflix documentary about the Titan submersible,

... maddening both for what it reveals but also for what it doesn’t explore. ... There are scraps of a broader statement below the surface here about tech-bro hubris and the complicit or intimidated mindset that does nothing to stop it.

This documentary capitalizes on lingering public fascination with a deep-sea disaster and keeps your attention with nearly a dozen insider perspectives and brisk pacing.

It was nice and providing great information. The only problem was the repetitiveness. It could have been shorter. Also, I am wondering if the families of people who died wanted to comment on days before the journey (or if the documentary crew thought about this)

Well documented and well showcasing how blinding arrogance and idealism can be. Would have appreciated just a tad more coverage on the final tragic day.

With first-hand accounts, an accurate dissection of a tragedy is made; a tragedy in which the main ingredients were arrogance and negligence. 109 minutes that are well worth the risk.

People leaving negative reviews wanted morbidity to be at way higher level and focus on the implosion and the whole tragedy and this documentary is not showing that because WE ALL seen it already.

One of the best, if quite devastating documentaries. Truly showed the issue of people with deep pockets doing whatever they want with no regard.

engrossing, and a genuinely sad story. most CEOs downfalls are resulted from blind ambition, and this documentary is a tale as old as time.
