- Quotes
Sara Lewis: Surely you're not saying that God is in favor of war?
Captain Barrett: What do you think, Chaplain? Does God pick sides?
Sara Lewis: Of course He would be on our side, wouldn't He?
Reynolds: With so many men dying on both sides, I wonder if He favors either of us.
Captain Barrett: There's a terrible paradox. War is the perfect expression of free will. Which is, of course, God's gift to us.
Reynolds: And like most of His gifts, it is unappreciated and often misused.
Townsend: As I recall, the Bible is filled with stories of God giving His blessing to men who fight for a just cause.
Doctor Baker: Come now, Townsend. You do not believe all this senseless killing warrants God's approval?
Townsend: Are you saying He does not approve of courage and sacrifice?
Sara Lewis: I assure you, I would be willing to do my bit. I realize that, as a female, my options are limited. I shall have to content myself with being the woman behind the man.
- Crazy creditsThe opening credits are set against footage of World War I and the Britannic's launch (which is actually footage of the Lusitania's launch).
- Alternate versionsThe movie on Tubi has a different CGI shot at the 4:31 mark than the DVD; a closer view of the tender dropping off the passengers next to the open gangway door of the Britannic at Southampton.

The characters are even less interesting than they were in TITANIC, and the special effects and camerawork and not nearly as good. And this is not a good thing, especially since the producers obviously made sure that everyone knew this film was coming, so that they would watch it. And when it finally arrives, it is a complete and total flop. This did not keep me from buying again for my video collection when I saw it at Hollywood for under five dollars. All together, the storyline is slightly more interesting, as there are several gunfights and thrilling moments in which people are chased around. The film is not the thriller that it says it is. It is just another average film based on your true story (with the facts altered of course) and tries to rip off of the success of its predecessor. BRITANNIC gets 2/5.
