With almost no lasting buzz and soft box office, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Right up the alley of anyone who likes their monsters enormous and anyone who loves a strong drama. The scale is huge: humanity is very much the underdog.
- The mood
- Thoughtful and character-driven.
- The pace
- Character-first and patient, at 1 hr 30 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
- What might put you off
- Made in 1929: an older pace and style.
- Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.
English-language version. "Atlantic" is a drama film based on the sinking of the RMS "Titanic" and set aboard a fictional ship, called the "Atlantic". The main plotline revolves around a man who has a shipboard affair with a fellow passenger, which is eventually discovered by his wife. The ship also has aboard an elderly couple, the Rools, who are on their anniversary cruise. Midway across the Atlantic Ocean, the "Atlantic" strikes an iceberg and is damaged to the point where it is sinking into the Atlantic.
