Titanic II (2010)

On the hundredth anniversary of the Titanic tragedy, the maiden voyage of the Titanic II sets sail on the same course. The playboy who owns the ship used to date one of the nurses on board. The nurses father is in the coast guard and when he hears a tsunami is pushing an iceberg into the path of the Titanic II, he jumps in a helicopter to rescue his daughter.

There is ridiculous flailing done by the extras trying to make the ship look like it is rocking. There is pointless running about through the corridors and lobby. The ships crew uses the elevators to help passengers get to the top decks, which doesn't seem like a good idea since the ship is sinking and the power could go out. And the plot gets very much like the Poseidon Adventure after the ship flips upside down.

In an odd coincidence, the Titanic II does not have enough lifeboats to save everyone on board. It seems that to save money some of them are only for show, not to rescue people. Now really, if you were going to name your vessel after a boat that is famous for letting people die by not having enough lifeboats, wouldn't that be one of your first concerns? People would definitely ask about it and it would be in the fore front of any safety inspectors mind.

Anyone familiar with movies put out by Asylum should know what they're getting into with this, but it's still shockingly ridiculous. Here's a few things that struck me:

1. would a surfer really wait for a good wave by sitting in the ocean hoping a large part of an iceberg falls into the sea?
2. the cgi is atrotious - I wasn't sure whether I was looking at a cloud or an iceberg.
3. as the ship starts sinking, the outside deck is tipped at a 45 degree angle and people are sliding by on their sides because they can't hold on. Yet inside the ship, the floors are still parallel to oceans surface and easy to walk on.
4. is it possible for a hunk of ice the size of Manhattan to fall into the ocean, and if so, wouldn't a concern be what would happen when the tsunami hits land?
5. the Coast Guard warns to stay out of the lifeboats as the tsunami will sink them, but the lifeboats look like little submarines and appear to have covers. Also earlier in the film it was stated that tsunami's weren't a threat for boats, instead it was the ice that was a threat.
6. when they try to find the engine room, the corridors have concrete walls and floors.
