This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

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. There you will find more than you bargain for, and, if all is as it should be, meet the nanny of your dreams.The hatred of the aristocracy is entirely natural, but one's affection for the coal miners, sweepers, or shovelers must be brought to the screen to be believed.Now for the Volta of text: Many Germans are in fact spies. Many nannies are in fact spies. Many nannies are in fact available.Finally: I only was able to discover the film (the film in question, that is) by virtue of a fortunate Flaw in the Matrix: All cable channels numbered between 26 and 52 were mysteriously frozen for a certain period on a certain date. (By way of an afterthought: the scrawl on Fox News Channel at the time read "Biologists discover a huge ---")...

I wouldn't say this movie was tacked together to take advantage of the Cameron Titanic's fame and box office success. Honest! First off it's made for t.v. and contrary to how the film tells the story of Britannic, there are some pretty good CGI effects. So being on t.v. there is no box office to appeal to. I just wish the Fox Family channel who produced this would have pertained more to what really happened on Britannic. Perhaps that's what documentaries are for as in the Discovery Channel's excellent docu on the Britannic's story and filming of her wreck. But if you go into this movie with prior knowledge of the real Britannic, you can enjoy this movie for what it is. Like I said there are CGi effects in this that could rival the Cameron Titanic. The story concerns a female undercover agent recruited by the British in 1916 to fish out a German Spy on the ship. I won't say what happens except that she gets him in more ways than one. The film makers spend much time recreating and touring different sections of the Britannic as they tell their story. What the ship looked like in the engine room or on the bridge or the lifeboat area etc. So those are pluses in the movie. John Rhys-Davies as the Captain is improbable here(he doesn't look anything like the Britannic's real Captain Bartlett). But I like Rhys-Davies as he is very portly and looks 'Captainly' ... is that a word. Don't take this story about the Britannic 'too' seriously. It's not what happened except that the ship sinks. But enjoy it for the 2 hours it gives you. Better yet go to the web or to a library to find much more bonafide info on this somewhat forgotten tragedy.

This film isn't a top movie exactly but its history is interesting. The Titanic is world famous for its destiny but her sister the Britannic who followed the same fate is almost forgotten. I think it was very interesting to learn about the Britannic and it's destiny. It's important not to forget such incident. I really recommend you to see this movie even if it isn't the best made.

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?I am shocked at the fact that the film makers had the nerve to use the name Britannic in this steaming pile of a movie.Don't even bother seeing this movie for yourself, the real story is far more dramatic. For instance, Violet Jessop, who was a nurse on the Britannic, was also on the Titanic 4 years earlier, and she was onboard the Titanic's other sister ship, the R.M.S. Olympic, when she collided with the British cruiser, the H.M.S. Hawke, in 1911. This poor women was on all three Olympic-Class liners (as they were called) when they experienced tragedies, and she isn't even mentioned. However, I believe that the main character in the movie is loosely based on her.
