A Disappointing Continuation

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Loved it! It was such a great investigation, very immersed in the topic, they took all the details and explained the whole thing, in my personal opinion, really enjoyed the explanation accompanied with graphics, very great! I'm a really TITANIC history freaky, so I can tell that for anyone who wants to see a really accurate investigation with all the details that any ''fan'' wants to know, here is the place, this is the documental. As the TITANIC movie was, this one from J.C is such a work of art... it's the ''forensic facts'' as the old Rose said once in TITANIC movie from 1997. Also you'll love how the investigators are pretty interested in how was the disaster step by step, and recreate the whole thing again and again, also easy to follow, and nice graphics. A really good work!

I don't own the DVD (yet), but have seen this documentary on cable several times. It was quite interesting, but what drew my attention was the song played at the end called "Darkness Darkness." I have not been able to catch who sings the ballad or who wrote the song. By the time I can focus on the small print and see the song's name, the screen changes. Can anyone tell me who wrote the song, who sings it in this documentary, and if it is available? Thanks! :O)In addition, I would like to know what James Cameron sees in Bill Paxton. His acting in all his movies (if you call it acting) is truly awful. His narration in this documentary was just plain pathetic. His choice of words and his comments just did nothing for the documentary. All I kept saying to myself was "I wish he would shut up!" Mr. Cameron should have done the narration himself or at least chose someone else to do it...anyone other than Paxton. Other than that, this documentary was quite interesting to watch. The footage obtained was awesome. If anyone could help me with the music I've noted above, I would appreciate it. Thanks!! :o)

I did not get to see this in the IMAX theater setting, but at home via VoD. It was not presented in 3D, and it was 4:3 format which kind of annoyed me as my TV is 16:9. I have watched many movies, both fiction, and true to life/documentary about tragedy and historical ironies and such. This one takes the cake. I saw "titanic" in the theater, and i've even seen "a night to remember". Heck, i once saw a movie called "raise the titanic". None of them come close to the raw emotions this documentary will evoke. The one scene that really got me was the final sinking sequence of the stern from "titanic" overlayed with the tragically long series of quaint old photographs, each one representing one, two, a family lost. Even as i think about it now, and even though i know there have been worse losses of life at sea the irony of this story and its place in history make it both unique and quite potent. I highly recommend this movie to anyone who has ever wondered about Titanic and her fate, and the fate of the people she carried into history.

Rating: **** (out of *****)James Cameron's journey down undersea into the heart of the Titanic gets the IMAX treatment, with Bill Paxton as the narrator. The words "into the heart of the Titanic" may scare off some people, but don't worry, there's no wooden love story here. Instead, we get a fascinating, well-prepared and detailed documentary about the Titanic and some of its passengers, underlining how many of the ship's elements have stood the passage of time. Unfortunately (in my opinion anyway), it's a little pretentious, not always involving and sometimes self-indulgent. But I still highly recommend it to those really interested in either the history of the Titanic or the 1997 film, and also to general audiences who are looking for something a little more innovative than what we get in cinemas these days.
