The acting or non-acting in this film sold me. It was very convincing. When I watch a movie and people are supposed to be panicking, I want to see running, tears, screaming, veins popping, sweat, everything.

Although the movie was "meh" I thought the two kids in "Jurassic Park" were great in the panic scenes. Especially when they were reacting to CG dinos.

The panic in "Titanic" was "meh" to me. I wanted to see more.
