I have to say this at least.....


That the rollover scene, albeit the rollover it self was RATHER quick, was pretty frigging decent for what I expected from this made for TV remake. Anyone else agree?

Its a crock punching a hole in the side of a ship doesn't cause it to capsize but sink by th place where the water comes in. Just use a tsumani its a much better plot.

I'm not saying the REASON it capsized was believable or even entertaining I was just commenting on the actual rolling of the ship itself.

While the reason for the capsizing leaves a lot to be desired, the actuall filming of it looked good. I liked the fact that we got to see other parts of the ship during the capsizing rather than just the grand ballroom (and the brief scene where the wave crashes through the bridge and radio room in the original).

However, the scenes in the ball room (and the rest of the ship after that fact) just looked too "clean" and neat and tidy compared to the 1972 movie.
