Titanic

Titanic is an entertaining and dramatic made-for-television film that’s quite compelling. Aboard the maiden voyage of the RMS Titanic an estranged couple rekindle their romance and a pair of thieves plan an intricate heist, but destiny intervenes. A number of impressive stars form the cast, including George C. Scott, Catherine Zeta Jones, Tim Curry, Marilu Henner, and Barry Pepper. However, most of the acting is subpar, though some of the actors like Scott, Jones, and Curry really shine. Additionally, the film is surprisingly ambitious; attempting to tell the entire tale of Titanic, from its launch to the survivors’ arrival in New York. It also attempts to incorporate a number of CGI shots to capture the scope and grandeur of the ship, and although the CGI is rudimentary, it works fairly well. The made-for-television format limits the film, but Titanic still delivers a captivating adventure.
