Titanic. The name of this famous ship (or infamous, depending on the way you look at history) reverberates throughout the century since she sank in 1912. Her sinking was the instigator of many changes, developments and innovations not least the genesis of the US Coast Guard and SOLAS. Among the innovations of how to detect obstructions at sea, like an iceberg, was one conceived by a Canadian born radio engineer, Reginald Fessenden working as a consultant to the Submarine Signal Company to enhance their system of underwater bells for shore-based stations, buoys, and light ships and for sound detection on ships.
Highly under appreciated large scale production. Superb photography, and effects involved in Submarine, Warship, Missile attacks; with well executed choreography for a covert mission to a Russian naval base, to rescue the Russian President, who has been captured by a Russian minister, with his military team, intending to orchestrate a nuclear war between the US and Russia.
Gerard Butler is always worth watching (Den of Thieves, Greenland, The Vanishing, to name three) and the supporting cast are convincing, rather than mainly "set furniture"; although Gary Oldman spends a lot of his screen time just shouting and running across the sets.
