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!
This documentary are very fascinating and interesting, because they have found so much fact about Titanic, passangers and the crew.It is also fascinating when they shoot the real Titanic on the see bottom.James Cameron has made a brilliant documentary about Titanic. It is both fascinating and captivating film which show how the pass-angers and crew made their best to survive the disaster in 15 April 1912.Ghosts of the Abyss is a film you must see and will to imprison your heart.Titanic sank in North Atlantic about 100 years ago.
I agree about the ending song, "Darkness, Darkness." Best thing about the movie IMO. Here's what I've found out -- the song was written by Jesse Colin Young (of the Youngbloods...wrote the 60s anthem "Get Together" as well). I found a used copy of Jesse Colin Young's Greatest Hits and it's on there, but his version pales in comparison to Lisa Torban's. She's the artist that does the song on the movie. She seems to have vanished. Had a web site, but it's gone. The ONLY place to get this recording that I have found is on the movie soundtrack, which sells for something like $50 on amazon. I guess it's now a collector's item or something.I tried searching for a download, hoping, hoping, but nada. I sing folk locally and would love to do a version of this song. Have the lyrics. Guess I'll have to come up with my own take on the melody. If you find out any more, please let me know! Georgene
One should see this film in an IMAX theater to get a real sense of scale. Other than Titanica no one has ever witnessed the the scale of the ship short of diving on the wreck. Its a magical experience.As a movie its odd. First off it was shot not on IMAX film but 35mm and blown up so the film is very grainy. Much of the non-Titanic stuff was shot badly for the IMAX screen. We see close ups that are too close and the camera moves much too fast. There is also the over use of multiple images which give us too much to look at, frankly its too much to take in. Cameron is a great filmmaker who needs to rethink his use of the format.There seems little point to the film other than being a 3D Imax exploration of the wreck. This isn't a bad thing, but seeing it as a 2D Imax film it kind of loses its reason for being.(I understand that the DVD has more material)That said if you have the chance see this IMAX. Its over powering to see the scale of the ship and to understand that people walked and died in this very spot.As an awesome IMAX experience 7 out of 10, though try for 3D rather than 2D.
