DVD Review: “Raise the Titanic”

Raise The Titanic (BluRay/DVD Combo) [Blu-ray]

Released:  January 21, 2014

Studio:  Shout! Factory

Running Time:  114 minutes

Join the underwater race to salvage the Titanic and its vital defense cargo. Adapted from Clive Cussler’s international best-seller, the story follows the exploits of American special agent Dirk Pitt as he sets out to recover vital material from the Titanic which could make the US impregnable to atomic attack. The ship is down too deep for divers and the only solution is to raise it. The incredible project must be managed in absolute secrecy because of deadly interference from a rival nation. The Titanic is finally, and majestically, brought to the surface — but the vital, rare mineral is missing…

This is a movie from 1980 that was remastered onto BluRay and DVD, but until I watched it I had never heard of it.  Basically it is a mystery movie with a story line that has the United States soaring to the bottom of the ocean.  It is discovered that a mineral that could be used as a weapon is on the Titanic, so there is a mission to raise the ship!  There wasn’t anything scary, which honestly I wanted more action or mystery.  I think it could have been so much better, but it was still a decent movie.  I love anything Titanic-related and this was a neat adaption of it.  I never read the book, but still liked the movie.
