I was orginally going to rate this movie a bit lower as we don't have a main character that we follow as closely as we are used to. Second Officer Charles acts as our main character, but due to the amount of people on the ship, we are always shifting focus between [sets] of characters to get to know all of them at least a little. Up until around halfway through the film, I thought this to be a flaw, but as the ship began sinking further I realized that this is probably the best way to handle the story. No one is really watching this to see relationships--we really just want to see the ship sink. We learn enough about the characters to care about them as the ship goes down.
The giant sets and the Titanic itself are fabulous to see onscreen as we know there was no such thing as computers, let alone CGI. The cinematography is beautiful and all of the actors do a very good job.
