Review of Raise the Titanic (1980) by Tristan M — 08 May 2014

One of, if not the, worst movie about the Titanic. Of course it has to involve the Russians, and how they want the Titanic, like every movie of the time, finding a way to integrate the 'bad' Russians into the movie.

One of the worst things about this movie, is how they don't even really care for the Titanic, all they want with it is the material hidden inside of it so they can built a superweapon. Bobody seems to care about the ship itself, all they want is the material and that's that.

The first 50 minutes just bored me, it simply wasn't very interesting, noting of significance happened, and it was dull. The rest after that got better, and the best and coolest part of the movie is when the Titanic rose to the surface, and my favorite part, when it broke through the surface in slow motion.

That was the only real thing that I found really cool, and after a brief celebration, it was all about the Russians again. But rear the end when the intact ship was towed into New York, were it should have arrived had it not sunk, because it was cool watching it finally finish its infamous maiden voyage.

The movie really shows the scale of ship well, but it's too bad the movie turned out how it did. It was an extremely expensive movie to produce, and it shows, but it also shows why the producers didnt get anywhere near making a profit.

So not a very good movie, in terms of cinematography, excitement, or realism, because nothing that happened could have ever happened in real life. It's also from a different perspective than we are now used to, because this movie was made before the Titanic was discovered, and the ship is now in two pieces, not the intact and perfect ship the movie portrays it as.

Just a fake, unbelievable movie in every way possible. Watch the 1997 Titanic instead.
