I'll pass on to you still more information about the film Titanic in 3D.
Nearly fifteen years after Titanic sailed on to the big screen in a film that won 11 Academy Awards and made superstars of Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio, James Cameron's epic returns to cinemas – this time in 3D. It's the exact same film – all three-and-a-quarter hours of running time – but this time, exquisitely rendered in the format that Cameron made famous with his last film, Avatar.
The success of Titanic's 3D lies in its subtlety, making this great film even more immersive and sweeping than it was fifteen years ago.
Every shot has been painstakingly rendered to maximise effectiveness. The ship seems even bigger, the corridors and staircase and state rooms even more vast than it all did the first time round. And the sinking appears absolutely realistic.
This film is a technical triumph of filmmaking – incredible cinematography, costume and set design, scoring, editing and sound.
Where modern films – with quick-fire cutaways and rapid shots – inevitably blur in 3D; Cameron's exquisite classic shots, lingering close-ups and slow, sweeping landscapes translate incredibly, adding a subtle depth to the film to enhance the immersive experience.
Winslet and DiCaprio – so young in this film – have an incredible chemistry that is often lacking in more-modern romances, and their pairing has regularly been cited as one of the reasons for the film's success. DiCaprio, so young and so good-looking, is possessed with a youthful, uncontrollable exuberance in wandering artist Jack that he has trimmed in his quest to become a serious actor – and one of the greats of the current generation. And Winslet, nominated for an Oscar for her role as the fiery Rose, is full of the promise of her glittering career.
It's the feelings that Titanic and its two leads evoke, rather than the words that they speak, that make this film a classic of the modern era. And the film's 3D outing, on the anniverary of the centenary of Titanic's sinking, is the film's crowning moment. Titanic is indeed Cameron's masterpiece.
Titanic is an epic film and watching it in 3D will be a different adventure altogether. As one of the biggest movies ever made, Titanic is still liked by millions
This time around, audiences have another reason to look forward to the film as the censor board has refrained from cutting the sensational scene in which actor Leonardo DiCaprio sketches a nude Kate Winslet.
The movie, which narrates the love story between socialite Rose Bukater and commoner Jack Dawson on board the Titanic, has been passed without any cuts and has received a clear U/A censor rating by the censors in India.
Once the film opened, with solid though unremarkable revenue and reviews praising its spectacular re-creation of the ship's sinking, girls went to see it again and again, pining over heart-throb Leonardo DiCaprio, who became an overnight superstar along with Kate Winslet for their shipboard romance.
Cameron's photo-realistic computer effects on Titanic helped propel Hollywood into the digital age. The results of 3D are dazzling, the images of the shipwreck now presented as though the audience is right there watching alongside.
Cameron had thought about a 3D Titanic for the past decade and eventually settled on April's centennial of the 1912 shipwreck as the ideal time to re-release the film.
Titanic's a no-brainer. It's a timeless film, it's visually sumptuous, it was shot in a way that's very conducive to 3D. Hollywood became sold on the idea once millions of fans started shelling out a few extra dollars to see new blockbusters in 3D.
James Cameron's 1997 film Titanic, for years, was the highest-grossing movie of all time. It won 11 Oscars, including, of course, best picture and best director (though it's worth noting it didn't take home any acting awards). It helped make Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet stars.
When James Cameron announced that he was re-releasing Titanic in 3D, the implication was that that was it. It's in 3D now, that is all, move along now. But it turns out that's not the case. James Cameron has gone all George Lucas on the beloved romance, making a key change that nobody will ever notice in a million years. Cameron was confronted by famed astronomer Neil deGrasse Tyson, who informed the director that the stars above Rose DeWitt Butaker at the end of Titanic are inaccurate. The freaking stars, people. And James Cameron has obliged Neil deGrasse Tyson, changing the new 3D re-release so that those stars will no longer offend audiences around the world.
Cameron and his team spent years adding computer-generated depth to each frame to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the tragedy. When the director screened 20 minutes of footage for journalists last October, they responded with warm reviews, but now the final product is ready to set sail.
Cameron has always stood by 3-D technology for film, through seemingly endless criticism, and now the reviews for his latest 3-D product are coming in as raves.
Drew McWeeny from HitFix doled out high praise for "Titanic 3D," calling it "the very best 3-D conversion of a film that I've seen so far." Though the quality of the 3-D impressed McWeeny overall, he concluded that nothing about the new version of "Titanic" is really that different. "Adding 3-D to that works technically, but I'm not sure it changed anything, one way or another, emotionally," he said.
When converting a film as iconic as "Titanic," expectations for the re-release can be very high. Lou Lumenick from the New York Post applauded Cameron's use of 3-D, saying that it even enhanced the quality of the film. "James Cameron's spectacular new 3-D version of 'Titanic' is everything I'd hoped for, and more," Lumenick said. "He judiciously — and sometimes with great subtlety — uses the technology to make a great film even greater." Lumenick said he found "Titanic 3D" "less of a strain on the eyes" than Cameron's "Avatar."
Scott Mantz from Access Hollywood, wrote that the post work on "Titanic" surpasses even films made for the format. "But what's amazing is that for a movie that was shot in 2-D, 'Titanic' looks amazing in 3-D — almost like it was meant to be in 3-D all along."
Titanic, starring Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio, earned more than $1.8 billion at the global box office. Before inflation is taken into account, it is second only to Cameron's 3D sci-fi adventure "Avatar", which grossed $2.8 billion, in the all-time ticket sale rankings.
Cameron thinks that remembering Titanic is remembering the history -- that's what the film was there for. That's why he made it. He was fascinated by the story, he was fascinated by the history, the people that were heroic, the people that lost their lives. He was genuinely touched by the tragedy when he was there at the wreck. Cameron wants all to remember the wreck and its message, the disaster and its message for all.
Thus the legendary Oscar winning film Titanic has been re-released in 3-D to mark the 100th anniversary of the marine tragedy that occured in 1912. The film is released India in English, Hindi, Tamil and Telegu. Do watch the film. Don't miss it.
