Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.

Go in cold, and you're likely to emerge with your blood boiling. This has to be seen to be believed.

Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

What a waste of time, maybe it was made entirely on a swimming pool, very poor directing and acting and the story is bad

Written, direct, and starring Shane Van Dyke. This disaster movie is indeed, a disaster. Produce by the infamous Asylum Studios for the Syfy Channel, the film has a modern luxury liner christened "Titanic 2," set sail on the 100th anniversary of the maiden voyage of the original passenger liner. Like its original namesake, an iceberg once again, strike the new ship's path, causing the passengers and crew, on a path for survival. Without spoiling the movie, too much, I have to give the film, some props. At least, this movie was not as bad as the three Italian/Spanish's animations movies (1999's 'The Legend of the Titanic', 2000's 'Titanic: the Legend Continues' & 2004's 'In Search of the Titanic AKA Tentacolino" were. It wasn't really that offensive to the victims of the 1912 ship sinking as well. Last, but not least, it was also a good thing that the movie wasn't a total knock off sequel, of the 1997's classic, 'Titanic". It did try to do, something unique, by cutting down on the fantasy-romantic overtones, and having no flashback sequences. Instead, it took a different turn, by introducing a few other things into the story; such as a global warming message, follow by coast guards & the navy trying to warn the ship. Because of that, the film felt more like a rip-off of 2004's disaster film, 'the Day After Tomorrow' than a 'Titanic' rip-off. Nevertheless, those parts, felt like filler & the main survival story felt highly generic & clichés as it felt, too similar to 2006's 'Poseidon'. Plus, it was still poorly done. None of the science makes any sense. While, it's true that Manhattan island size ice sheets has fallen in the water, before. None of them, have cause a major tsunami that carry out, throughout the ocean. The reason why, is that collapsing ice sheets only have the potential stored relative to its rough height above water level and will stop moving water when it floats. Even if, a tsunami was cause by an ice sheet collapse, it would local and barely noticeable, by any ship in mid-ocean. Waves only increase in height when the ocean depth decreases near coastal areas. Another thing, while, scientists couldn't begin to speculate whether a wave could move through water faster than the speed of sound. According to National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration AKA NOAA, major tsunamis travel approximately 475 mph in 15,000 feet of water, which is about the average depth of the ocean. It would take a force like the 1883 eruption of Krakatoa to generate a wave, close enough to move at 800 miles per hour. Nevertheless, such events depicted in this film is nearly almost impossible to happen. Plus, it highly unlikable of tsunami like that, would take out a nuclear submarine below water or an aircraft flying above. I would find a rogue wave, a little more believable. Still, the artistic license toward science didn't take me out of the movie. It was the bad CGI. Every special effect in this movie was a failure. It looks highly fake-looking. The film also became very jarring, whenever, it badly edit, mix real-life location like the RMS Queen Mary, with graphic models that they made on a limited budget. None of them, really looks like it belong to a ship supposed to be a replica of the first Titanic. What also ruin the film for me; was how none of the surrounding supporting characters seem like they belong in a film like this. Their surface level, lack of depth, rag-like appearance, and highly annoying, clumsy & idiotic nature, such as running to elevators, them, never anticipated being hit from the side, & using credit cards as bandages in a room full of medical supplies, made them, look out of place. Even the acting from them, weren't any good. Highly acclaim actors like Bruce Davidson were highly mediocre, despite possesses genuine charisma. As for the two main leads. Marie Westbrook as Amy Maine was cringe-inducing. Her character was highly useless as a damsel in distress with no likeability. Also, Westbrook is awful actress, whom can't act, if her life depend on it. As for Shane Van Dyke, as young engineer/entrepreneur Hayden Walsh. He was alright in the role, but highly inadequate at parts. Also, the lack of character development or depth from them, cause a lack of empathy from me. None of their deaths matter. Even with the highly depressing ending with nearly everybody dying. Titanic II still lacks an emotional punch to stand out. That's how much, audiences didn't care. It wasn't compelling. In the end, like, Australian billionaire Clive Palmer Titanic II idea, this film should had never been made. However, since it did. This is one movie, not worth sailing for. Highly don't recommended seeing. Don't check it out. It sunk.

If I could I would rate this movie 0.5/10! Somebody tell me who wrote the script. This movie is just nonsense! The ship switches between a bad CGI of the ship and the Queen Mary in Long Beach California! I also don't know why Bruce Davidson even signed on with the cast. Also, this ship is supposed to be a replica of the first Titanic, however, the extras are not dressed in 1912 clothing but instead wearing street clothes, and not one single set is based on Titanic blueprints, the shooting took place on the Queen Mary's deck and was also probably shot in a hotel hallway. The funniest part perhaps is when the captain orders an evacuation, on the stairway, people forget how to walk and start slipping. And some extras were not enthusiastic about the shoot. And speaking of extras, there were only like 25-30 extras! This movie is poorly edited, however, you should watch it just to see how bad it is.

Not being familiar with the work of Shane Van Dyke, I was stunned to see that he both brilliantly directed this film while giving a superb lead performance of power and sensitivity. Quite a feat when directing a large cast in a special effects extravaganza. Working from an intriguing concept and a very strong script, Van Dyke gives Cameron's version of Titanic a run for the money with ground breaking creative choices that make the very most of the resources at his disposal. His camera work is magnificent and it is clear he has studied many of the past great cinema masters. However, his style is creatively unique and all his own, even if inspired by the best in film history. With incredible excitement and overwhelming emotion, this is an outstanding story of man against the elements, the sea, and his own hubris. A strong supporting cast does truly fine work in depicting how ordinary people face possible catastrophe and rise to the occasion heroically in many instances. The final scenes are some of the most spectacular in the film and filled with heartbreak, sacrifice, and overwhelming human courage. This motion picture is certainly required viewing for anyone with a popular or scholarly interest in the grand but tragic tale of the original Titanic in 1912. The differences in what happens with the Titanic II are technologically, historically, and dramatically satisfying indeed. Shane Van Dyke is a name to remember and a creative auteur of untamed vision and his next work is one that will be highly anticipated by anyone devoted to cinema.
