I had the chance to sit down and watch the 2009 National Geographic documentary "Titanic: How It Really Sank" in 2021. And I hadn't even heard about this documentary prior to sitting down to watch it. Given my interest in the Titanic and the tragic sinking, of course I found the time to sit down to watch this.
And I must say that the documentary, while running at 51 minutes, actually felt rather superficial. It doesn't really delve deep into the promise of finding out how it sank. Sure, it shed some hitherto unknown fact for me, the stuff with the inadequate rivets, but ultimately I thought it would have been a more thorough investigation shedding more lights upon matters.
If you are a newcomer to the events and tragedy that happened on April 14th, 1912, then I am sure that "Titanic: How It Really Sank" will prove to be more interesting than it was for someone like me, whom has been having an interest in the matter since around the 1990s.
The narration of the documentary was good and pleasant, and the reenactments definitely helped to further the understanding of what was being talked about and portrayed on the screen.
"Titanic: How It Really Sank" was watchable, it just didn't fully provided enough enlightenment to properly satisfy me. My rating of this 2009 documentary lands on a mediocre five out of ten stars.
