I somehow caught this trash on cable over the weekend. I have no idea why it aired on TV in Australia before it even got a US release, but at least I didn't have to go out and rent it.
The movie opens with some guy surfing off what appears to be a Canadian ice shelf; when a large chunk of ice falls he rides the wave. Unfortunately for him, a piece of ice the size of Manhattan breaks off and that's the end of his story.
An old coast guard captain gets a call from NOAA and he flies out to the ice shelf. Lot's of mumbling about the evils of global warming and how they need to warn the planet that an epic tsunami is going to destroy the world... but most importantly it will destroy the Titanic II. It turns out the captain's daughter works as a nurse on the ship which has just set off on it's maiden voyage. The captain gets in his super-chopper and decides to fly all the way to the titanic to save his daughter.
His daughter used to date the guy that owns the shipping line and the Titanic II, he of course is on the ship. He has three girlfriends now but begins to regain his old affections for the nurse for some reason. The tsunami hits the ship conveniently wiping out half of the life rafts. I don't think the director was trying to be funny here, but all of the people bouncing back and forth pretending that the ship was falling over made me smile.
The boat continues to sink and the guy and girl run around trying to get out but don't. Fortunately they come across some scuba gear, unfortunately there's only one mouth piece. Rather than try sharing it, the guy just dies and that's pretty much the story.
Terrible acting, crappy CGI, hilarious dialogue The interiors of the Titanic II look like they were filmed in a rundown motel 6. They have a shot of the engine room and it looks like a dump truck backed into a loading bay.
How did this happen??
