Synopsis

Academy Award® winning director and master storyteller James Cameron journeys back to the site of his greatest inspiration # the legendary wreck of the Titanic. With a team of the world's foremost historic and marine experts and friend Bill Paxton, he embarks on an unscripted adventure back to the final grave where nearly 1,500 souls lost their lives almost a century ago. Using state-of-the-art technology developed expressly for this expedition, Cameron and his crew are able to explore virtually all of the wreckage, inside and out, as never before. With the most advanced 3D photography, moviegoers will experience the ship as if they are part of the crew, right inside the dive subs. In this unprecedented motion picture event, made especially for IMAX 3D Theatres and specially outfitted 35mm 3D theaters across the country, Cameron and his team bring audiences to sights not seen since the sinking 90 years ago and explore why the landmark vessel # more than any shipwreck # continues to intrigue and fascinate the public.  

More Info

This DVD delivers two versions of James Cameron's entertaining documentary, neither of which is the IMAX 3-D version that played in theaters. The 61-minute version is the same as the IMAX edition, just without the 3-D effect; one must assume, however, that everyone will--and should--watch the new 92-minute version. It expands on several scenes and adds new scenes on the Titanic's captain, the animal life found at the wreck site, and life aboard the research vehicle Keldysh. The half-hour "Reflections from the Deep" is part making-of, part extra scenes with interesting segments on how mosaics were used for the brilliant underwater photography, the Keldysh's "Zodiac Cowboys," and the near-human connection to the remote cameras (named Elwood and Jake). You can choose one of six camera angles for the deft "The ROV Experience" that takes about 10 minutes of highlights from one dive. --Doug Thomas
