Well-made Film About a Ship That Wasn't

Rating: 7/10 (5 January 1999)

A truly beautiful film ... though the dialogue was meaningless. It would be just as emotional with the sound off but for the score. Nice performances, but nothing special (again: terrible lines). I cared about the characters, but as usual, had no idea why our two protagonists fell in love. Hormones, perhaps? Had there not been a tragedy, I don't think Rose and Jack would have lasted more than a year.
Lovely ending (not the ship sinking; the final scene) ... with a cheery sentiment (I'll never forget you). For sure, it's sappy, but it's also very well put together. The costumes, set designs, special effects ... all superbly done.
