UnowPriceless hyped garbage

FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

Yvonne Jodi Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

blueroots LOL.Some of the previous "reviewers" seem to have forgotten that this TV Movie wasn't intended to be a history class!If you're looking for a documentary on the Britannic this isn't it.If you're looking for a well acted,entertaining hour and half than you might like this movie.I do agree with the person who mentioned the cheesy special effects and some of the cringe-inducing dialoge.

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.

scarlet-23 Jacqueline Bisset a once and still magnificently beautiful and talented actress is regrettably the most notorious name in the cast. It is so unfortunate that she allowed herself to become a part of its ensemble since the film has little, if any, value at all. As can be expected, the film attempted to ride on the coattails of the enormously successful, Titanic, but fell far short of its expectations. Most importantly, it is not historically correct. The same argument could be made regarding Titanic, as the characters were fictional. However, in the case of The Brittanic, not only are the characters fictious, so is the plot. In addition, the rating is decidedly incorrect, as the film is full of violence and should have received an R rating for its violence alone. I surely regret having to pan a film starring Ms. Bisset. However this film does not deserve to have been distributed and certainly not under the guise under which it was. Hopefully, having received as little publicity as it did, it will not reach a much larger audience than it has to date.
