Cutting about 1/2 of the contrived romance would've made a great movie

Rating: Null/10 (9 April 1999)

OK, so there HAS to be a romantic story intertwined to make a real blockbuster. I like romance, but too much is too much. If half the time spent on the romantic fling had gone into historical or technological accuracy or even developing some of the stories of the lives of the hundreds of others aboard, I would no doubt rave that this was the best movie of the year. But they didn't... and I won't. It was a good movie that could have been a great movie. 'A Night To Remember' is far better for my vote.
