Review of Secrets of the Titanic (1986) by Alex R — 30 Nov 2012

This documentary is a phenomenal picture that chronicles the discovery of the great ocean liner, R.M.S Titanic. With terrific footage of the search and ultimately discovery of the great liner that sank on April 15, 1912, this is a splendid viewing for titanic history buffs.

National Geographic goes with Robert Ballard as he searches and ultimately finds the great ship, and this makes for a great viewing as we see the greatest find in marine history. The documentary shows also the sad tragedy and the cost of the human error.

This is a well crafted, insightful documentary that should be seen. Robert Ballard is a great explorer and finding the Titanic was his dream, his obsession and we see him accomplish his goals. This documentary gives us a glimpse of the Titanic wreck for the first time since it went down 73 years earlier (this was made in 1985).

The team manages to take video footage of the wreck and plenty of pictures and examine the state of the wreck. This is a well made documentary that chronicles the expedition and is a thorough and comprehensive documentary that will definitely please you if you're interested in the story of the discovery of the great liner, then this is a must watch.

Even if you're not interested in the Titanic, this is actually worth seeing due to its significance.
