Titanic's Forgotten Sister... Rememberable Movie [Posted on 2004-11-16]
The reason I watched this movie when it first aired on TV was because I was getting over a phase where I was interested in everything related to the Titanic tragedy. This movie of the equally tragic demise of Titanic's sister ship ranks in my to TV movies of the last few years. The cast were all perfect in their parts. Amanda Ryan is quite believable as Vera Campbell, John Rhys-Davies (one of my favorite actors ever!!) adds a special brand of comedy as the Brittanic's captain and the two kids are adorable!! There are a few moments that are some what unacceptable for younger children, including a couple of bullets and some blood-shed. However, the drama and angst is well balanced out by some comedy and adventure moments. The suspense is gripping, and all the good points overshadow the less-than-perfect special effects. If you liked "Titanic", this is a must-see movie!!

A for Effort [Posted on 2007-01-10]
This movie was made shortly after the Titanic movie. Unfortunately, it is a very low budget movie, so it leaves much to be desired. A movie like this could have been made almost as in sequel format to James Cameron's Titanic. Instead, it is a movie not alot of people know about, and will never be able to enjoy. Its sad, because I find the tragedy of the Britannic more ironic than that of the Titanic.

Not enough facts. [Posted on 2007-01-24]
The special effects on the HMHS Britannic sinking is the whole of this movie. The plot on the made for Hollywood about spies, and govenment plot is made up. The movie should have stuck with real events not a made up plot. It is a movie that makes one think whay did they bother. The HMHS Britannic, (Titanic's younger sister) deserved better. She struck an underwater mine in the Greek Kea Channel. Luckily loss of life was a minimal 33, or 35. Ship great --- movie lame

Britannic's name [Posted on 2007-04-20]
I haven't seen the movie but thought I would pass along this interesting fact. The name of Britannic was not the originally planned name for Titanic's younger sister. The original name was to be the Gigantic but due to the sinking of the Titanic, White Star thought it might be tempting fate to keep the name. Thought you might find that of interest.

My Review on the film Britannic [Posted on 2007-09-25]
I enjoyed this film although it is not in the same category as the story we enjoyed in the tragic events shown in the film Titanic. It is debateable just how accurate the facts are in this movie. What really happened on Titanic's sister ship leaves much to the imagination but nevertheless it is a very moving story.
