Sam Adams Slate 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. Jun 13, 2025 Full Review John Anderson Wall Street Journal 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. Jun 12, 2025 Full Review Natalia Winkelman New York Times “Titan: The OceanGate Disaster” offers an adequate rundown of the story. Jun 11, 2025 Full Review Stephen Silver The SS Ben Hecht 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, Jul 3, 2025 Full Review Valerie Kalfrin AWFJ.org ... 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. Rated: 3.5 Jun 27, 2025 Full Review Jennifer Green Common Sense Media 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.

Alejandro E 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. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/23/25 Full Review Joanna W 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. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/30/25 Full Review Mark J One of the best, if quite devastating documentaries. Truly showed the issue of people with deep pockets doing whatever they want with no regard. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/11/25 Full Review Austin G. engrossing, and a genuinely sad story. most CEOs downfalls are resulted from blind ambition, and this documentary is a tale as old as time. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/06/25 Full Review Brian D 76%. 6/22/25. Really paints the CEO in a terrible light. He ignored so many of his employees' reservations and just kept pressing on. Sad story. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/30/25 Full Review Oaklee D An in-depth (pardon the pun) look into the insane events leading up to the titan disaster. A mission that was doomed to fail from the start. The final few minutes are chilling. Worth watching at least once. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/28/25 Full Review Read all reviews
