Tenggelamnya Kapal Van Der Wijck Pencuri Movie [better] ⟶ | LATEST |

Interestingly, the mystery of the real SS Van der Wijck did not end with the film's release. For 85 years, the exact location of the wreck remained unknown. Then, in , a team of underwater archaeologists from the BPCB Jatim (Balai Pelestarian Cagar Budaya Jawa Timur) announced that they had found the wreckage of a large ship near the waters of Brondong, Lamongan, in East Java. The discovery was made using sonar technology, which helped the team locate a shipwreck at a depth of 28-38 meters. The size and features of the wreckage, including its length of more than 150 meters and its passenger cabins, strongly matched the historical records of the SS Van der Wijck.

Some critics accused the film of misrepresenting the main female character through her costume, which was considered culturally inappropriate for a high-class Minang woman. The sinking scene itself was criticized for its poor CGI. Critics also felt the film omitted essential plot details, causing confusion or making the story less impactful for new viewers.
