Titanic [DVD] [1997] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC]

It doesn't matter how many times you watch this epic there is always a moment you don't remember - Salvage and explorer captain and his crew hope on this occasion to locate the safe that is believed to house the necklace holding the diamond known as 'The Heart of the Ocean' they find the safe, however there is no diamond within but they find a picture of a girl wearing the priceless gem. when the picture is shown on television 'Rose' now 101 years of age recognises the picture drawn by 'Jack Dawson' 84 years ago on the day the 'Titanic' floundered. 'Rose' and 'Jack' are of course fictional characters used as a vehicle by 'James Cameron' to tell the tale. This is 'Rose Dewitt Bukata's' story, a 17 year old girl who's life seems to be planned for her by the man it is intended for her to marry 'Caledon ''Cal'' Hockley' when things get too much for 'Rose' she contemplates 'suicide' however 'Jack' realizes her intention and seems to have taken her back from the brink, she slips, 'Jack' saves her. to thank 'Jack' 'Cal' invites the young chancer for a dinner date in the luxurious restaurant in upper-class ....'Cal' intends to belittle 'Jack' ....not quite the way it goes down in truth. a romance develops between the unlikely couple. the film graphically portrays both the story of the couple during the final hours, along with the events leading up to and including the ships final moment. it tells of the panic, despair, bravery and self sacrifice, the ship of 2200 souls trying to find space on board the inadequacy's of the life boats. even had the boats been filled to capacity around half of those on board would of perished in the event only around 700 escaped, the thinking of course was that the lifeboats would never be needed, after all the ship was an unsinkable giant. ok, the film has many historical flaws, however the special effects on board from the time the ship hits the 'iceberg' through to the final moments are indeed a spectacle to behold. probably the most expensive movie ever made costing around $200,000,000, they need not have worried as it grossed around $658,672,302 up to mid-2012..... a pretty good investment. of course it has made one or two journey's to the world cinemas along with it's 'VHS' release, followed by 'DVD' followed by a special-edition DVD release with a bucket full of extras included since when it's 2012 (100 year anniversary) on 'Blu-Ray' and 3-D.....along with even more extras ( the format upgrade is brilliant ) always worth another viewing, there are always moments you had forgotten or missed. of course many versions of this film have been made down the years, for me, perhaps the most impressive of those was the '1958' film 'A NIGHT TO REMEMBER' although filmed in black and white and obviously lacking todays use of special effects it really is worth seeing. we always knew that 'James Cameron's 'TITANIC' would be transferred to this format along with the bonus of a 3-D version, me, I had hoped that the film would be released as an extended version which included the deleted scenes......of course that could still happen at some stage ? ( films such as this are always worth re-visiting ) There is a shed-load of extras with the 3-D box set, including the deleted scenes, in which there are references to the 'Californian' a ship that initially wasn't so far away as the eventual rescue vessel (just felt, the relevance of this should have been include in the theatrical version and subsequently on it's DVD and Blu-Ray release) Also thought the alternative ending was 'pure -class' would have been happy to have that as an alternative to the released version.

There was clearly enough room for Jack on the door at the end of the movie. And Rose tells him she’ll never let go before immediately dumping his ass to the bottom of the ocean. Bad form

Rookie mistake I guess, this does NOT work on UK blue-ray players! I haven’t tried PlayStations (as I don’t have one) but never the less, do not purchase if you are from the UK

Doesn’t work.

A very good movie-Last say at show in 1997-Bought now because the price was affordable.

The classic tale of how Billy Zane in the space of a day lost his girl, priceless gemstone and a non-refundable boat trip.

Best movie of that year and was the touching movie .

La calidad de la imagen de esta versión 4K de la película es superior. Se nota el excelente trabajo que hicieron para reescanear y remasterizar la película en 4K. A pesar de que es una película que ya tiene poco más de 20 años, la portabilidad que hicieron al formato 4K es de los mejores que he visto. Eliminaron por completo el grano fino del filme, lo que hace que la calidad de imagen sea muy nítida, y se nota el reajuste de la gama de colores para aprovechar al máximo el HDR. Y aunque no tengo un home theater compatible con Dolby Atmos, el sonido que estoy obteniendo es Dolby True HD 7.1, y aún así se escucha de una calidad superior a muchas otras películas 4K más recientes. Vale la pena tener esta película en formato físico 4K HDR. Al ver y escuchar esta película en formato físico, se da uno cuenta que la calidad es muy superior a lo que puede ofrecer el 4K HRD en streaming. La compra y el envío no tuvo problemas. Y a diferencia de Avengers Endgame, esta vez si me llegó con el slip cover. Gracias.
