I immediately thought of Titanic as well, and couldn't help smile at the way the camera kept panning to Vesuvius every five minutes :) It wasn't really a bad movie, but very unimaginative. I'd give it maybe 3 stars, and half of that was just the attention to detail in the volcanic eruption and the depiction of Pompeii, which admittedly were both superb. The characters could have been a lot more interesting. Why not have Pliny the Younger as a character as well? He saw the eruption from far off, and gave the historical description of it. His uncle - Pliny the Elder, died trying to save people in the harbour. Sure you could keep the love story, but why not put some interesting historical characters in it as well? Pliny the Younger would also have been the only major character to survive, which I think is a nice touch.Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15476638113012400672noreply@blogger.com
