had forgotten how much i love this film. true some of the dialogue is awful (hello bill paxton and billy zane) but it's still a big sweeping epic.
i'll tell you when i thought the 3d worked - when kate was lost in the corridors when she was looking for leo as the ship started to sink. you really got a feeling of 'depth' there

I agree with that, that scene where you saw the long corridor with water slowly coming towards the camera was quite impressive for a film not shot in 3D, they obviously put a lot of effort into the conversion, in places it actually looks better than some "true 3D" films. Oddly, it was the scenes that involved a lot of CGI that seemed to fare worse with the 3D (probably because not all of the CGI has aged particularly well, you can tell when it's a blue screen shot)
Overall though i enjoyed seeing it again, it was great on the IMAX screen. Billy Zane's acting is still hilarious though! Almost every line that he had made me laugh:D
I agree with a lot of people's comments. The corridor scenes were good and the scenes without CGI were more amazing.
I did find the scenes at the dinner table particularly done well and the scene that probably stood out come to think of it was the scene in which Cal throws the table while having dinner with Rose. Very well done.
I could not see ANY ghosting too which does annoy me when I see 3D movies. I recently went to see The Darkest Hour but was plagued with so much ghosting.
I probably won't chance to see this at the cinema, but I have watched the preview programme on Sky 3D, and was surprisingly impressed by the 3D conversion.
Hopefully we'll see a 3D Blu-ray / TV release before too long so I can enjoy this at home.
Goofs here: http://www.paullee.com/titanic/jc1997goofs.html - yes some are picky but I decided to make it an armchair viewers guide to the goofs for people to peruse. I may add a colour code to mark the goofs from "trivial" to "serious."
I saw it in 3D IMAX was excellent. First IMAX film I'd seen. Some of it was a bit creepy in 3D though like when she was going to jump off the ship and almost fell in it felt like you were hanging off looking over the water below too.
I quite liked that the 3D was very subtle and enhanced bits excellently but didn't have it too much in every scene.
Im looking to go and see this Wednesday and my local cinema since i never got to see it in the cinema in 98 since i was only 8 at the time. So i think it needs to be done
Saw it yesterday, and it's still as impressive as I remember it first time round.
Titanic really is a film that has to be seen on the big screen. The effects look terrific in 3D, though I agree with previous posters who have pointed out that the CGI looks a bit ropey now.
And whilst the film looks great in 3D, the main characters still firmly remain 2D...
I bloody love this movie so much! I was only 4 when it came out in 1997 so i didnt go to see it in the cinema. Ironically when I was younger I used to pretend I had seen it in the cinema and I told everyone about how my favourite part of the story was when Rose changed her mind at least i'm telling the truth now when I say I've seen it in the cinema. But I basically wanted Rose's wardrobe, and it's only really having seen in it in the cinema and in 3D that I can appreciate it so much more as a movie, and I think it's the acting that stands out. Winslet and DiCaprio are superb. My cousin and I were discussing it and we decided that it was Kate Winslet's facial expressions that do it. They certainly had me convinced, especially when shes on the wardrobe door and she's like "There's a boat Jack" and she's losing her voice and she starts to cry which is definitely contagious. overall i just love the movie
I seen it the first time it came out in cinema, but I was curious with the 3D and also I couldn't miss the opportunity to see it on the big screen again ..... Even though I watched it last month at home in bed haha
Cos I'm from east belfast, where the titanic was made, I have a particular interest in it....my relatives worked at the ship yard, on the titanic...
We seen it in the odyssey cinema which is right next to the titanic building and the slipway where she was made.... It felt a bit nostalgic sitting watching this major movie abut a ship that was built only a mins walk away.
After the movie was over, me and the OH walked put the back to the titanic building, we then drove the car up around the titanic quarter and looked at the SS Nomadic, the white star line building where Thomas Andrews and co would have walked through....we then drove past the pump house and slipway .... Lived in belfast all MetLife and had never been there!
My fiancé is singing at a memorial service on Friday in Thomas Andrews memorial church in comber where he was from...it will be special
As far as the movie goes, awesome...the 3D was brilliant CONSIDERING it wasn't made for 3D ... Obviously not as good as avatar etc but it was still awesome.
My only bit of neg comment was when the ship was sinking, and the lights went out and it was dark, I kinda found it hard to watch because it was quite dark with the glasses on and the 3D wasnt showing as well...also my glasses had some glare on them and it was rather annoying..
Ie joyed the 3D but I did feel it was a distraction at times...
Also, as someone mentioned, some CGI from when it was first made back in the 90s was really obviously...mainly just the birds eye views with the people walking around on the deck....was really obvious...
Something else about my experience tonight at the cinema, it was completely packed out at half 4 and we had to sit next to two wee girls (row of 4) , around about 11 yrs old...and it was clearly their first time seeing the movie...some of the comments they came out with...so cute... Like when jack and rose kissed on the front of the ship, one of the girls gasped and said "omg, she's engaged,...Huuuuhhhh!" lol..... It was great to see two young kids watching the movie and learning more about it ... Brought me back to when I seen it aged 10 bak when it first came out.
I was only 8 when it came out, so didn't see at the cinema. It's one of my favourite films, so I'm glad I got the chance to see it on the big screen. I liked the subtleness of the 3D, and think they did well with it considering it wasn't originally made for 3D.
I'd never seen the full film before, I think I was only 3/4 when it first came out and for some reason when I had watched it I'd never got to the end of the movie.
Anyway this was the first time I watched it in full and it's now my favourite movie ever! I actually fell in love with Jack Dawson and its actually got me really interested in Titanic. As soon as I got home from the cinema I was googling Titanic to find out more about the true stories.
When I first got asked to go I thought a 3 and 1/2 hour movie would be really boring but when it was finishing I was actually hoping for it to last longer, We went to see it again the next day too just because we really enjoyed it and still cried at the exact same times we did the day before :') I've just ordered the DVD too!
I've never really like 3d films but it works with Titanic, honestly an amazing film!

Get out.

You could see Titanic took time and effort.

Yes! Went in 1998, and it feels it's time to revisit it again, in the cinema.
What ever takes your fancy but once was enough for me.:)
I like this version.
