TheGMang Review of Back to the Titanic

Back to the Titanic (2020 TV Movie)

disappointing reality tv schlock

[3/10 · 15 January 2021]

National Geographic continues its decline into dumbed down mediocrity. This 'documentary' plays like a cheap reality show. The fake drama is so forced it's almost impossible to watch this. There is almost no good 4k footage of the wreck in this. Mostly the same footage over and over and then reaction shots or b roll inside the sub. These are the people who crashed into Titanic but there's no mention of it here. Poorly directed and shot this is really a shadow of what it could have been. 5-6 minutes of great content stretched into 45+ min of stupid tv tropes. The expedition itself seems half baked, especially with technology available today. The narrator is awful. The only interesting person is the historian.
