    Complete product of it's time. Disaster movies were real big in the 70's so why not make one out of the most infamous maritime disaster of them all?

    Not bad performances all around and the production values/effects hold up pretty well. David Warner (who funnily enough gets a sup...( read more)porting role in the '97 movie) and the other second class passenger really are the best part of the movie playing two teachers who are not of the rich fancy world or the lower class world and make a great point about how out of place they feel about it. Granted they get a little TOO platitude-y, states-the-obvious about it. Even so far as to actually SAY "Isn't this ship really a microcosm of British society today?" Uh, thanks, we get it- that's kind of why people are fascinated by the Titanic. Show us that, don't just TELL US that.

    The other good plot line was the of the group of twenty-something Irish immigrants who we see having fun and full of hope about their trip to America and then they're desperate struggle to get up top and their women in the boats and seeing the boys praying with the priests at the end will break your heart.

    All in all a pretty decent little movie that holds up pretty well considering- though a bit with the Captain Obvious at points.
