Upstaged By Reality, Still A Good Movie
|
When you watch this film today, you have to ignore the real world finding of the RMS Titanic that occurred only five years after this film came out. Remember that most people had thought that the ship had gone down intact.
The plot premise was that the United States had developed a anti-ballistic missle system, but a very rare element (byzanium) was needed to power it. Unfortunately, apparently the entire known world supply of byzanium was locked in a storage vault in the wreck of the Titanic. Don't you just hate it when that happens?
So, a plan is formulated to locate the ship and raise it to the surface. The Soviets catch wind of this plan and work to thwart it, through some very surprising and innovative means, I must say. The Soviets are not the simplistic thugs some films might have portrayed, but are cunning and subtle.
The acting quality is good and the underwater scenery was very well put-together. If you over-analyze this film, it will ruin it for you. Just go with it, ignore what happened in the real world and appreciate the film for the effort. |
