Reviews

LemonGrove My review of the plot of Britannic would only mirror other reviews, it's a good movie and does well with it's budget. It is a little to similar to Titanic for my liking in that there is unexpected romance aboard a large ship that sinks. It's still very watchable until right at the end when the ship actually sinks.It switches from real footage of the characters to a computer animation of the ship sinking. The ship then topples over and sinks in all of about 10 seconds. The fact that it's animated couldn't be more obvious. It's such a let down, they coped well with the low budget throughout, then at the climax of it all they cheap out with some very nasty CGI.

IanCX The "special effects" are nothing to write home about,and there is some corny dialogue,but it is entertaining to watch.The acting is terrific by all the actors,but the two kids got on my nerves.If you're a fan of Ryan,than you'll love it;she is wonderful in the role of Vera Campbell,and she is in practically every scene.

de_niro_2001 Another reviewer compared this to Young Indiana Jones and it's a fair comparison. The presence of John Rhys-Davies reinforces the comparison. Amanda Ryan is a lovely looking actress. I'm surprised I hadn't heard of her before. I didn't think Britannic would be particularly good as it is a made for TV movie and they tend not to be too memorable but I was pleasantly surprised. Naturally the effects are not as good as those in James Cameron's film. Some shots, though, do remind you of shots in Titanic but mostly they're the kind of graphics you see in historical TV documentaries. There is quite a bit of suspense in it and the presence of the two kids makes it a good family film. Miss Ryan goes undercover as a governess and this is a departure from the way they are usually portrayed, as sadistic tyrants who abuse the children in their care. It is definitely better than SOS Titanic and the Catherine Zeta-Jones mini-series Titanic. Jacques Cousteau's discovery of the wreck is referred to at the end of the film and if anyone's interest in the Britannic has been kindled by this film I'd recommend that you try and get hold of the National Geographic video of Jacques Cousteau's 1976 expedition. It is very interesting. In 1976 some of the survivors were still alive and they give first hand testimonies in this documentary. One survivor, an elderly lady from Edinburgh, Mrs Sheila Macbeth-Mitchell went down in one of Cousteau's submarines to the wreck. She must have been 86 at the time but still brimming with enthusiasm and fun. She definitely would have been interested in this film.

quacker31 HiI loved this film, i thought it would be dull but it was exciting and the actors where very good, if people think it will be like Titanic then they are wrong this films story is much better and its about time there was a film made on the Britannic.Thanks quacker31
