A boy and a girl from differing social backgrounds meet during the ill-fated maiden voyage of the RMS Titanic.
'Titanic 3D' is technically impressive remaster but to what end?
With a 3D conversion from the medium’s pioneer-in-chief, Titanic is a big-screen romance that’s every bit as epic as you remember.
The retro-fitted 3D creates a weird disconnect between actors and sets, making certain green-screen moments glaring. It’s a needless distraction from what’sstill a spectacularly impressive, emotionally wrenching epic.
James Cameron and his team have applied 3D to 'Titanic' with intelligence, and often restraint.
The 3D conversion is impeccably done but proof that 3D adds little to the overall experience of a well-made film.
Only the snobbish or the obtuse could deny its ambition, verve and entertainment firepower.
If you fancy indulging in pure, unadulterated silliness and spending a night in the '90s, this is a good bet. Otherwise…
Still looking good.
Cameron put on a show and a half first time around, and here, using 3D, he again drives home the terror of that night.
The experience is that immersive you'll be checking your pockets for seaweed on the way out.
If you haven’t already seen the film, find the biggest screen you can and prepare to be blown away.
