With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, 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's ever wondered how they'd survive and fans of giant monsters and bigger battles. The tension comes from simply getting through the next day. The scale is huge: humanity is very much the underdog.
- The mood
- Eye-opening.
- The pace
- Well paced for a documentary, at 1 hr 14 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
- What might put you off
- Skip it if you want made-up drama tonight.
On April 10, 1912, the RMS Titanic embarked on its maiden voyage, sailing from Southampton, England, to New York City. One of the largest and most luxurious passenger liners at the time, the Titanic was also equipped with watertight compartments, which led many to consider the ship unsinkable; an anonymous deckhand famously claimed that “God himself could not sink this ship.” On April 14, however, the ship struck an iceberg, and early the next day it sank. Some 1,500 people perished.
