Le Titanic redévoilér

They are way better titanic docs out there, Boring.

Appreciate the team that has worked on the mission. Kudos to them.

A great story which is told in a most boring way possible.

The script is so repeatetive, I would be a millionaire by the end of the movie if I had gotten a dollar every time the narrator said "drained on the ocean floor", "never seen before", drain the water" Arghh.. Gave me headache.

The conclusion they made about when the Titanic broke up is tenuous at best. They use the 'relatively' small size of the debris field to theorize that it broke up after going underwater. That doesn't add up. If it had then the stern might have been in better condition and I don't think they would have the great sliding feature in the mud near the stern. Also ocean currents are unpredictable so you can't say for sure whether they would have carried the artifacts far away.

So much time is devoted to whether the ship broke apart at the surface or further down, and the show teases you it might be answered or given info to suggest a possible break up, but then all you get is some mysterious model about debris fields that never really is explained, video of stoic men looking at computers, some fancy graphics and no answer or data to back up an answer or model of the sinking. Then a blurb about what it might look like in the future and some stuff about preservation. Waste of time.

As others here note, the repetition and faux "drama" blunts the pleasure and value of seeing this, even to someone interested in the topic.

Instead of a calm and sane review of what was accomplished, and time to look over the new model, we get an incessantly ominous junk-music soundtrack, constantly tense narration, and camera work that cuts away from every remark as if to mark it as profound or revelatory.

Pretty soon, I too cut away.

Who's minding the store at National Geographic? Who sets the goals, the story-line, and the style guidelines?

Who thinks that "if some drama is good, then more is better, and too much is just enough"?
