Movie Reviews of Titanica (Large Format)
Movie Review: It has become a circus
Summary: 5 Stars
The Titanic wreckage has lost the human and scientific meaning it should have and has become just a show. I guess that is the reason that most of reviewers gave low scores to this magnificent documentary. They just want to see the undeniable interesting scenes of the actual ship on the sea bottom. I want that too.
But Titanica is above all an excellent History of the Titanic AND its time. I think that is the best achievement of this DVD: to put the Titanic and what happened to her into an historical context so we can understand the reasons and the meaning of this human tragedy.
This said I think Leonard Nimoy narration, music and visual material are top notch. I recommend this Titanica to anyone with and interest above the understandable curiosity for the actual wreckage scenes.
Summary of Titanica (Large Format)
Plunge two and one half miles beneath the surface of the North Atlantic and immerse yourself in a once-in-a-lifetime adventure of discovery -- TITANICA. The world's greatest deep-sea scientists and award-winning filmmakers are your guides in a high-risk journey to the resting place of one of this century's darkest tragedies. Narrated by Leonard Nimoy and shot by IMAX(R) on 70mm film, TITANICA reveals the clearest motion pictures ever captured of the Titanic. Witness startling images of the long-lost ruin contrasted with never-before-seen 1912 archival photos showing her in all her splendor. Feel the passion of the explorers, each obsessed with a different aspect of the expedition. Relive the memories of two survivors -- an exclusive interview with Frank Goldsmith and the poignant recollections of Eva Hart. An IMAX film of extraordinary power, TITANICA sheds breathtaking light on the legend that is Titanic.Two years before James Cameron's Titanic became a pop-culture phenomenon, this 1995 IMAX documentary utilized the large-frame movie format to journey to the ocean-floor gravesite of the legendary Titanic, which struck an iceberg and sunk on that fateful night of April 14, 1912. Using re-creations of submersible missions and actual IMAX footage taken at the site of the Titanic wreckage, this spectacular film takes you two and a half miles below the surface of the Atlantic, using state-of-the-art deep-sea technology to capture some of the most eerily detailed footage of the great ship's ghostly remains. It's impossible to re-create the awesome IMAX experience in any home-video format, but this film translates remarkably well to smaller screens, and with its vivid photography and informative historical background, it's one of the best Titanic documentaries available. --Jeff Shannon
