Did not receive ^ I never received the movie and made contact with the seller and I am awaiting my refund. It was lost in the mail.
Great Movie!! ^ If you enjoy action adventure movies you should love this one. While it doesn't cover everything in the book, I found the movie version was full of suspense and fun to see. While the styles and such are inevitably dated, even my teen enjoyed watching this with us, so it must have something still going for it! Highly recommend it....
Classic ^ Love this movie, it's a classic. At the time it came out it didn't get the greatest ratings because of the other movies it was up against. If your a Clive Cussler fan this is a perfect movie for you. Not to mention it gives you a little background on the movie Sahara.
Upstaged By Reality, Still A Good Movie ^ When you watch this film today, you have to ignore the real world finding of the RMS Titanic that occurred only five years after this film came out. Remember that most people had thought that the ship had gone down intact.
The plot premise was that the United States had developed a anti-ballistic missle system, but a very rare element (byzanium) was needed to power it. Unfortunately, apparently the entire known world supply of byzanium was locked in a storage vault in the wreck of the Titanic. Don't you just hate it when that happens?
So, a plan is formulated to locate the ship and raise it to the surface. The Soviets catch wind of this plan and work to thwart it, through some very surprising and innovative means, I must say. The Soviets are not the simplistic thugs some films might have portrayed, but are cunning and subtle.
The acting quality is good and the underwater scenery was very well put-together. If you over-analyze this film, it will ruin it for you. Just go with it, ignore what happened in the real world and appreciate the film for the effort.
forget all the other complaints, this is just really boring ^ Sure people talk about the problems with this movie and sure some people love it, but all that aside, the movie is quite boring. Not one thrill to be had,not one!!!!!
