Mccadoo

Most of what's here has been done before and better. The scans are impressive but most are a bit dark so it's hard to discern a lot of detail. Overall it's a great effort to show the entire wreck but it's nothing that hasn't been done already in other better done documentaries.

The biggest problem I had with it was the leaps they take with the facts. They present a simulation of the ship hitting the iceberg and the exact damage it did to the hull as if it's a forgone conclusion when in fact it's anything but. They are making educated guesses but in truth there's no way they can know exactly what the damage is because that part of the hull is buried in the ocean floor. They present their theory as fact when it's really just supposition. Struck me as very disingenuous.

They so this numerous times throughout the documentary and after a while it gets old. In truth they have no way of actually knowing what actually happened and are making some very large assumptions based on what's left of the ship. That's what I found most disappointing here. To the point that I almost stopped watching several times.

If you're even just an armchair expert regarding the Titanic sinking this documentary isn't going to show you anything new and the opining of the three hosts will probably begin to sound hollow to you very quickly. Still, the digital reconstruction is impressive if also very grim when you see how far the wreck has deteriorated since it was first discovered back in the 1980's. I suppose it's worth watching for that at least.
