The TITANIC II concept could be better served

This movie, TITANIC II, is a function of its economical budget. That's most objective assessment I can render about it.

The concept of a, 'Titanic II', is not new. Back in 1999-2001, a Dutch shipbuilding corporation reportedly entertained serious consideration for constructing a duplicate of the original Titanic. Of course an actual duplicate was not feasible. Advances in ship design, shipbuilding technology, navigation technology, changes in international maritime law and safety all rendered an EXACT duplicate infeasible. Still, a close, outward-looking facsimilie was the intent.

Given a much bigger budget, wider screenplay, and special effects budget then an outstanding TITANIC II could be possible. In fact had the producers of the POSEIDON remake had instead invested their big budget in a TITANIC II, then we would have seen something else.

It's not superstitious to rename a ship after a doomed predecessor. There were two YORKTOWN carriers in World War II. The first Yorktown suffered a spectacular, heroic demise in the Battle of Midway, June 1942. The U.S. Navy honored the Yorktown by naming a new carrier, the Yorktown in 1944. The U.S. Navy makes a point about not being superstitious by painting the number, 1313 on one of its modern destroyers. P.S., I even saw the number, 13, on a college football player's jersey, two weeks ago. How's that for sticking a thumb in the eye of superstition?
