certain movie websites, however, say this movie may be a mock of the 1997 hit movie. the movie "titanic ii" is about the "ss titanic ii" luxury liner sent on a maiden voyage exactly 100 years after the original rms "titanic", except the "titanic ii" is operating in reverse opposite the original ship. the more recent ship exits new york city and heads to united kingdom at southampton. like the earlier ship, however, she crashes into an iceberg, killing most of the ship's passengers and crew. only a handful of people survive. "titanic ii" was condemned by many critics as a rip-off of james cameron's 1997 movie. the criticisms involved mostly plot and movie directions.
