I liked it because they actually went out of their way to make it as accurate as possible, and did one hell of a great job in re-creating the Edwardian/Gilded-Age atmosphere of the time. They also managed to present the most common-sense outcomes of the various officers and real-life folks that were portrayed. They could've added a few bits here and there - the Californian seeing flares in the distance but doing nothing about it, the Carpathia hearing the SOS and moving balls-to-the-wall to try and get there, etc... But, given the constraints, it was actually pretty good, and the best effort I've seen at cinematic accuracy concerning the events.
I'm not saying that the film didn't have it's positive points. What I did say is he got a target audience who repeatedly saw it, as it looks like is happening again.
Anyways 2 tickets, plus mandatory 3d glasses fee, plus two bottles of water, and two hot dogs put the cost of the movie into the $40 range. Way too bloody expensive for me for what I got out of the movie.
WARK!
