Titanic II

Be warned that this is probably the worst movie ever made. At least it gave a good actor, Bruce Davison, employment. Nice concept, but so poorly made that you understand immediately that the makers knew zero about the 1912 Titanic and cared even less. With an obvious low budget, the movie made use of the 1930's Queen Mary permanently moored at Long Beach, CA. But, 1912 maritime design is very different from 1930s maritime design as was White Star Line, (Titanic), to Cunard Line, (Queen Mary). Shots included the sea wall enclosing the Queen Mary, rust on the railings of this "brand new Titanic II", and red funnels when the original Titanic had yellow funnels, (which they corrected within the movie and then went back to red funnels). Some scenes showed the ship with three funnels, some scenes she had four funnels. One of the best, laughable scenes was the cast running down into the "engine room" with concrete walls!!!? The Titanic II sailed with the name emblazoned on it's bow, then the name was gone, then it was back again? Where were the continuity people? Or could they not afford to employ them. The score even had slight reminisces of the movie Titanic's score in a shameful attempt to piggy-back on the success of the James Cameron movie. Gives new meaning to unoriginal and predictable. Do yourself a favor. Skip this movie. It's not even good trash.

It's laugh-out-loud BAD. The script, acting, plot are all woeful and my 12yr old could have done a more convincing job with the CGI. Most of it is filmed on the real Queen Mary which is now a hotel in Long Beach, Ca or in a concrete bunker, sorry, "engine room". They hired about 20 extras from the local homeless shelter by the look of them who wander around aimlessly or fall over their own feet during "action" sequences. There is some preachy stuff about global warming backed up by bogus "science" and a 800mph tsunami (that's faster than the speed of sound folks!). I hope this movie was released as a joke but fear it wasn't. But seriously, if you haven't seen it yet then please do so because it's hilarious and you'll have lots of fun spotting the glaring errors, continuity bloopers, wooden acting and super-low budget production. It's so bad it's good.

The opening credits were fairly sparse and went by nicely, and the ending credits had many words and names. I noticed most of the words were also spelled correctly. In between the beginning and ending credits there was a bunch of stuff that really could have been cut from the movie. Many of the scenes had people in them, and were in color. They exist in a sort of Adventure Time universe where reality is constantly changing - either that or the plot make no sense. No spoilers here, it's what the title implies: ship driving around the ocean, bashes into a big hunk of ice while frantically driving away from it, and hilarity ensues. If this was a high school project, I would say it deserved at least a B. As long as it wasn't a senior high school project.

Funniest quote: "The lifeboats are death traps!" - said by a guy in a chopper who obviously knew this in advance.

This has to be one of the best worst films of all time. I have seen better special effects in Boris Karloff films and that is when Boris Karloff was a young man. Some of the iceberg scenes must have been shot by somebody in a bathtub/Jacuzzi having a few jars, spilled his/her ice cubes and then took a few snaps with a mobile phone. I am delighted I saw this film, I am getting great 'mileage' out of reading the reviews to my wife, I have to stop every now and again of course because the pain in our sides from uncontrolled laughing is nearly as bad as having appendicitis. I always thought Bob Hope, Danny Kaye, and Gerry Lewis starred in some of the funniest movies ever made, I was right up until now. I hope your readers find this review helpful.

Really I can't Vote 0? Titanic 2 was an absolutely horrible waste of time. Awful acting and outdated FX, I've seen better from high school students. The story was highly unbelievable, however may have been more entertaining if better presented. The only thing that drew me to the movie and kept me watching was how bad it is. Its like when some1 says "careful its hot" you gotta touch it just to see how hot it is, I just had to watch to believe. I fully agree that Titanic 3 should never happen. Although, nor should have Titanic 2 which has left me in shock that this movie was ever made, and empathic of all involved with Cameron's Titanic for having their amazing work now associated with this.
