Is bigger better? The people behind TITANIC 2 are hoping fans will think so. Arguably the most eagerly-anticipated sequel in cinematic history -- James Cameron's original was the first movie to make over a billion dollars world-wide, remember -- TITANIC 2 arrives on dvd (sorry kids, no sign of a blu-ray yet) in a visually opulent widescreen presentation that's sure to please fans and historians alike. While no one could have expected this belated follow-up to surpass Cameron's Academy Award-winning classic, TITANIC 2 nonetheless has a charm all it's own; the film is lightning-paced (you won't need to set three hours aside to watch this puppy!), and while Brooke (BAYWATCH) Burns is no Kate Winslet, her performance is riveting and real. Also, special effects have come a long way since TITANIC smashed the box-office record book over a decade ago, allowing director Shane Van Dyke to do things Cameron could only dream about in 1997.

So, is bigger better? According to the producers of TITANIC 2, the answer is a resounding yes, and while no one's going to forget Kate and Leo, TITANIC 2's greatest strength is that, unlike most sequels, you don't have to have seen the original to know what's going on.

1.0 out of 5 stars Even free, it's not worth it., Aug 16 2010

By Mr. Paul A. Calf - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: NEW Titanic 2 (DVD) (DVD)

This movie was premiered on the UK's Syfy channel last week, but if anyone is considering purchasing the DVD my advice would be to spend the money on lottery tickets or something more enjoyable.
We all know what to expect from an Asylum release (z-list actors, one-dimensional characters, cheap effects, lowsy music), and this film doesn't disappoint.
The whole premise does not bear thinking about (tsunami's from Greenland heading towards the Atlantic at 800MPH+, faster than sound??), the effects look like they were created for a 20 year old Discovery Channel special, the acting (oh, the acting!!), the scenes of panic on the ship seem to involve lots of people in a mall falling up flights of stairs, the continuity is all over the place (hero and 2 girls climb a lift shaft, hero at the back. Get to next floor and hero is at the front. Scientist on icefield can't decide if he's wearing sunglasses or not as they appear and disappear mid-scene, I could go on), and then it just ends (unfortunately not soon enough).
Hopefully Shane Van Dyke has been shunned by the rest of the Van Dyke clan until he can do better.
Just cross your fingers The Asylum don't decide to do Raise The Titanic II.

3.0 out of 5 stars Titanic 2 - Turn Off Your Brain and Enjoy It, Sep 18 2010

I am not an Asylum shill. I do want to be entertained by the movies that I watch. Some Asylum movies can do that, and some can't. "Titanic 2" entertains me.

"Titanic 2" - OK, what do you expect from a movie entitled "Titanic 2"? An Oscar-winning movie? If so, then you really need to watch less TV and movies and read more books and news magazines. Big ship, separated couple, tidal wave, big ship sinking, couple united, and then the last few minutes of the movie. Done and done.

Acting: Some of the pretty faces can't. The big names can. Bruce Davison is the best actor of the bunch.

Writing: Davison's character is believable as the senior government official and the concerned parent, though he is too calm and rational when he should be panicking. Van Dyke's character is an unwaveringly confident person; this is unrealistic and rather boring. Brooke Burns' character is a wildly inconsistent character who reacts to situations. Burns' character is happy, strong, intelligent, or lovestruck; whether this is a realistic character or not is a matter of opinion.

Effects: Good special effects. Snow fields, tidal waves, ships, explosions . . .

Final Review: Three stars because it was fun. Better movies exist, but none are named "Titanic 2".

1.0 out of 5 stars As bad as you would think, but....., Sep 16 2010

By RDtoo "Some guy in Detroit" - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: NEW Titanic 2 (DVD) (DVD)

I knew what I was in for when I picked this up at the video store, but being a Titanic buff I just had to see it anyways. It is as bad as you would imagine with grade z special effects, bad acting and terrible writing. Shane Van Dyke did seem to acquire alot of hot looking no talented women to appear in the film. The rest of the passengers and crew seem to be assembled from Shane's drinking buddies and people he pulled in off the street. You never once believe that any of the 20 or so passengers that are shown could actually afford a ticket on a luxury liner. While there are a couple of longshots of the "Titanic II" that look ok, you never feel like you are on-board a replica of the Titanic. It could be any old passenger ship. The Titanics appeal was the luxury and majesty of the ship and that is never even hinted at here. There are long segments during the films "climax" that are so dark you honestly cannot see or understand what is happening. I would not recommend this film even for laughs. That being said, I think the plot actually had some undeveloped potential. It was an interesting idea that remained undeveloped and filmed that way. It is too bad that Van Dyke did not go and find some writers with true talent who could have made something out of this.
