Narratively, Titanic is a masterwork of big-canvas storytelling, broad enough to entrance and entertain yet precise and delicate enough to educate and illuminate.
The 4K UHD Blu Ray just released and seeing as how it's probably been over 2 decades since I've seen the film I decided to add the new physical release to my collection. All I can say is wow! The 4K transfer with Dolby Vision color grading is absolutely breathtaking. The quality of the image on the new disc really does make you realize how timeless this movie is. Aside from a few moments of dated looking CGI, the film looks as if it could have been shot and released yesterday. From start to finish the cinematography is phenomenal, as is the overall level of detail in the set design and recreation of the Titanic. The overall story and writing holds up incredibly well today. It is of course a disaster movie based on a real historical event with a love story on top to pull the heart strings of the audience, and other than one or two cheesy moments it achieves everything it intended to do with flying colors. Like I said, it's been at least 2 decades since I've seen this film and I remembered bits and pieces here and there but forgot just how intense this movie gets after the iceberg says hello. The scenes of Winslet and DiCaprio trudging through the slowly rising aqua blue water down long, narrow, white hallways as the lights flicker in and out while also periodically shooting out sparks is about as good as cinema can get. This movie deserves all the praise it has ever received and then some. Absolutely a film I will revisit periodically throughout my entire life. It is without a doubt a timeless classic.
This is the best movie I had seen. I think the romance and the general story were amazing, it had been about 20 years since I watched it the first time but the scenes are still impactful.
It's a powerfully ersatz experience, but at least it's powerful. There's a lot to like here: At three hours and 14 minutes, the film takes longer to watch than the Titanic took to sink.
It's both the shortest 3 1/2 hours you'll ever spend at the movies and spectacle of such magnitude that it's hard to imagine feeling you didn't get your time and money's worth.
Cameron manhandles the real story, scavenging it for his own puny narrative purposes. It's a film made with boorish confidence and zero sensitivity, big and dumb and hulking.
does anyone ACTUALLY remember this movie lol, total chick flick... PASS. gave it a three because at least it had a little "something something" for the guys heh
