In lieu of composing a comprehensive summary of the film in question, I would simply like to submit this to the curious viewer: My advice, son, is go to sea. Too many facts are wrong in this film, either made up or worse still blatantly contradicting the real event - but taken as a work of total fiction, which it basically is, it is still enjoyable. October 11, 2005 It's not what happened except that the ship sinks. A cheap cash-in on TITANIC, replacing the heading-for-an-iceberg storyline with one involving a German agent (this is set during the First World War) with plans to sabotage the titular hospital ship. This film isn't a top movie exactly but its history is interesting. I didn't think Britannic would be particularly good as it is a made for TV movie and they tend not to be too memorable but I was pleasantly surprised. 30 or so people died when the H.M.H.S Britannic sank, 55 minutes after striking a mine, and this is how we respect them? There were not german agents onboard who tried to blow up the ship and sink it and the ship didn't get hijacked and crew members were not shot by german spys.
But, gasp, could it be that he may be the actual spy? 48,000 tons, the Titanic 46,000 tons, so Britannic was the longest, widest, heaviest, and largest of the 3 "Olympic" class ships (Olympic, Titanic, and Britannic). 0 out of 0 found this helpful.

However, in the case of The Brittanic, not only are the characters fictious, so is the plot. One survivor, an elderly lady from Edinburgh, Mrs Sheila Macbeth-Mitchell went down in one of Cousteau's submarines to the wreck. The Britannic's tragic story will never generate the same interest or emotion as that of her more famous sister ship. and contrary to how the film tells the story of Britannic, there are some pretty good CGI effects.

Directed by Brian Trenchard-Smith. But the story about spies on board, and that they were the ones that made the ship sink is not true. Most importantly, it is not historically correct. If you're interested in the subject, this is worth a look, but be prepared for a dose of fiction mixed in with the real events, but of course that was done for a more dramatic effect, very much like what James Cameron did with the romantic storyline in his overly awful and overrated film Titanic. Was this review helpful? This is odd because few women are given such a big job at this time but male agents are scarce. The Britannic was the sister ship of the RMS Titanic, and like her big sister before her, the ship sank. The Britannic's tragic story will never generate the same interest or emotion as that of her more famous sister ship. Was this review helpful?

Just below that it reads "Ticket Confirmation#:" followed by a 10-digit number. We won’t be able to verify your ticket today, but it’s great to know for the future.Regal Cinemark Amanda Ryan is believable, and has a brief nude scene when necessary to enliven the plot. But, the story, I personally thought, was very neat and the effects and settings were very well done and looked very true to life. With Edward Atterton, Amanda Ryan, Jacqueline Bisset, Ben Daniels. Because of WW1, it never hauled a revenue passenger, it was used as a hospital ship. John Rhys-Davies plays the ship's captain with the same subtlety that he showed in Sliders.
Who is it? But, now its WW I time and the B has just been given a new task. LOL.Some of the previous "reviewers" seem to have forgotten that this TV Movie wasn't intended to be a history class!If you're looking for a documentary on the Britannic this isn't it.If you're looking for a well acted,entertaining hour and half than you might like this movie.I do agree with the person who mentioned the cheesy special effects and some of the cringe-inducing dialoge. This is a pretty slow moving film.
