Titanic (1997) Blu-Ray



Though it is a film plagued with Cliche's and saddled with a corny love story, people often forget how much of a technical marvel and an achievement in film making on the grandest scale the film Titanic is and is filmed with masterful execution. I am a fan of historical events like this, Hindenberg etc etc. So I have always enjoyed this movie, not so much the love story (which is a bit corny) but the historical aspects of the film fasinate me. And as acclaimed as the film was with its 13 Ocsar nominations (most ever) and 11 wins (tied for most ever with 2 ither film) The Blu Ray is just as much of a technical marvel. This goes into the Top 3 discs I have ever seen for video quality, love him or hate him Jim Cameron knows how to make epic grand scale films and he certainly knows how to make his movies look positivly stunning on Blu-Ray. The Blu-Ray earns my highest recomendation and a no brainer for fans of the film or the event, but I urge even the most casual of viewers to check this disc out even if no interest is had for the love story skip it forward to the second half and Hold onto your butts, because it will blow you away and leave tour jaw on the ground with them visuals.I can see how the film might not be for everybody but the Blu-Ray really is a techniacal Marvel and is not to be missed. In a word Breathtaking could be used to describe the picture quality on this 4-disc Blu-Ray set. Then add in the 5.1 DTS MA and this disc is real winner. That dow not even include the bonus content. In this set there is over 2 and hald hours of mew documentaries commentaries and featuresttes and over 6 hours of total bonus features. It's a fully loaded disc of suppliments to go along with the completely restored film. This here is what Blu-Ray is all about taking something one has already experienced and turn it into a completely new experience. You have never witnessed this film like this and its hard to imagine one will ever see it look or sound any better and at for roughly 20-22 dollars, its a steal.
