The film does a decent job of showcasing the first dives in years, but it sometimes feels like it’s treading water rather than making waves. The new footage is impressive and serves as a reminder of the ship's haunting beauty, but I found myself longing for more personal stories or emotional connections.

If you're a Titanic enthusiast or love documentaries, you might find value in it, but don't expect to be blown away. Show less
