A great presentation of interesting new facts and I highly recommend viewing whenever possible. Well acted and cast.
I'm not sure why all of these reviews are so bad! Every movie has a budget, and what this team was able to do with their budget is AMAZING! Sure the CGI could have been a little stronger, but looking at the project as a whole I give it 2 thumbs up! I would have like to see more of the Gwen/Wilhelm story, and i'm sure if we were able to see more of the drama the above people wouldn't be complaining about the "lack of drama" or how it was so terrible. When you aren't given a proper amount of time for a story arc based on documentary needs, that tends to happen.
I think the information presented was fascinating, and it's all new information no one had before! You will always get those that disagree with you and try to bog down a project, but whether you agree or disagree this docudrama was well done. I gave 9/10 stars because I believe there could have been more story line to Gwen and Wilhelm, and more drama from Bill and Diana, but I can't give a poor rating based on "bad acting" when the actors weren't given a full story arc to realize. I think they did a GREAT job with what they had in the story!

If you want fictional and highly sensationalized drama only loosely based on historical events, and you can tolerate cheap CGI, bad acting, and clips that looked like they were borrowed from other treatments of the Titanic story, you might find this a tolerable way to pass a few hours if you're sick in bed and can't reach the remote to change the channel.
But the "facts" presented in this documentary are nowhere to be found in the primary source materials of the actual disaster, and the narrative and conclusions are speculative at best. There is a lot of "it could have happened like this" along with quite a few "this might be what happened" and "if this had happened, then that might also have happened" type of analysis here. But most of the supposedly new information that sinks the myths are invented, stretched, incorrect interpretations, and just patently wrong and easily disproved.
As for passengers declaring that the rockets were the wrong colors... does the woman who wrote the book for this script really expect us to believe the passengers knew more about the proper use of distress signals than the crew or the ship's owners did? Neither Capt Smith, nor any of the deck officers, nor Thomas Andrews, Bruce Ismay, the QMs in charge of firing the rockets would not have noticed "these aren't distress rockets..." Passengers would not get into lifeboats, did not believe the ship was sinking, and yet they knew more about distress rockets than the crew?
The people who made this "documentary" might think the crew was stupid, but the viewers aren't.
There are soooooo many things wrong with this documentary. And not just wrong, but demonstrably false. Conspiracy theorists will love this. As for anybody else... watch at your own risk. You've been warned.

Docudrama where the "drama" or performance is the weaker part of this. The information and commentary by the experts is the better part. Ed Adsner's whole story line is boring, contrived and weak, in my opinion. I love a good documentary, I'm open to a docudrama but this fell a bit short for me.
I normally don't rate documentaries or docudramas, but this one really stands out to me. The acting and interviews blended very well together!
Also, I loved Robert Michael as Wilhelm, very authentic. I appreciated his use of dialect. Most actors use a standard German dialect, but I appreciated his modification to specific regions.
I would have liked to have less interviews, but as a previous review stated I am not expecting a blockbuster movie. This is a docudrama, and some action has to get cut. I would love to see a longer version if it ever comes out, since the run time on IMDb is a little over 3 hours and the TV version was only 2.
Good stuff guys!
