This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.
Beulah Bram
A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.
Billy Ollie
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Well... as a lot said before me, is not J.Cameron's version, but for a TV with a low budget movie, it has such a really good effects, credible, not ''marvellous'' but good enough to be nice at sight... the storyline is even more interesting than Oscar-winning TITANIC, because it has more than the ''rich girl and the poor boy love'', but a lot of stories, including historical people ones, like the John Jacob Astor and his wife story and the Allison's story, in fact are both true. And... not to spoiler you... we can add the fact that there is a lot of scenes really ''familiar'' to the people who has seen JC's Titanic... I mean... did JC take them for his motion picture? Who knows (we can suggest this but never the other way around because the first movie was the TV one). Adding more... the fact that the TITANIC have been damaged by losing her nails at the time the iceberg was hit by her is in fact a recently investigation and maybe it's even more possible than the holes explanation... things to think. Interesting movie. As a TITANIC history big fan I can say the music is outstanding, the scenes are really good, in fact as I said many of them taken and improved by J.Cameron. This movie is not about effect anyway, is about entertainment and storyline, and here we have both.

It isn't great, but I was impressed by the overall project. It is overlong, with a somewhat corny script and some of the actors don't convince. The rape scene halfway through was very brutal, and perhaps inappropriate. Some people say this is historically inaccurate, but I need to check my history. The performances are good generally with some exceptions (Catherine Zeta Jones is lovely here), the costumes are nice and the special effects for a TV mini series were close to superb. George C.Scott is a brilliant actor, and he was quite good here. Tim Curry, as a villain likewise. Though both men have been better. I wasn't entirely convinced by Ase and Jamie's romance, as it was basically a retread of the James Cameron blockbuster, which also suffers from its length. The music is also good( my music teacher hates the 1997 film's music) and this is the first adaptation when the ship breaks into two, which was nicely done. Not a bad attempt! 7/10 Bethany Cox

It is 1912 and Titanic went from Southampton to New York, but the voyage being a nightmare for the passengers and the crew.This Titanic-film with George C. Scott and Catherine Zeta-Jones is very good. The hole film look very realistic.It is a relationship between a man and a woman and they fall in in love. They have fun on aboard the ship. Between them it will being a struggle with life or death.This Titanic-movie show more than James Camerons Titanic-film was happening around the ship.For Example: The crew aboard California talk to each other how they can contact Titanic and how they see Titanic call back with a Morse Code. This detail didn't James Cameron show in his Titanic-film.

Hilarious TV miniseries that perhaps uses borrowed sets from the UK 1979 version ... maybe reused in the Meaning Of Life 'Titanic sequence" .....(SOS TITANIC of 1979 starred with Jerry Hauser and Cloris Leachman.... yes....) and adds glamourpuss Catherine Zeta Jones and George C Scott with what is clearly Tim Currie's most berserk characterization of any rocky horror he has ever played....in fact he plays it for laughs... and at such a 'Snidley Whiplash' level that must have just collapsed with laughter after ever 'take' . Wait till you see him 'disguise himself as a woman... even though he has a mustache and beard....!) Handsome JOHN DOYLE... (who...?) in a Jimmy Cagney role and various other TV and faded movie stalwarts add feathers and good haircuts to the luster of the doomed liner... but really this is no more than cheap tabloid TV 'clarrssy' movie watching for uneducated farm workers... in fact I do not believe it was made for anyone whose first language was English... even though it is in English. Capish? Bleached back projection, rabble hordes, religious fanatics, flimsy locked gates and bewildered potato head farmers and wives round out a really low budget 'oooh waaah' level of production. The best bit? The fantastic Gothic ceiling of the dining room. This is a version of TITANIC that actually dares to skimp on the actual sinking of the ship... that happens during a montage...!!!!! yep, during a montage......... urgggghh. a montage... huh??? the whole thing runs 170 minutes and the ship sinks in a montage..!!!!!!
