    I hope it’s gonna be in 3d.

    This and Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince are the first movies that made me cry as a kid.

    I love this movie but this is a pretty awful trailer. It’s all romance and besides the last shot doesn’t really give off the titanic (pun obviously intended) scale of the film.

    The 2012 3D rerelease preview was a lot stronger. Gave off the romance, the tragedy, suspense, and action set pieces of the actual movie.

    I have never seen Titanic. Am I missing out? For context, my usual go-tos are movies by Paul Thomas Anderson, Wes Anderson (no relation), David Fincher, etc.

    I saw the movie for the first time during 3D re-release in 2012 and it was one of the best theatrical experiences I’ve had. It reallly is an Epic and 3D conversion was flawless.

    For those that haven’t seen this in theatres yet…DO IT. Those of us that were there in 97 know that this was one of those experiences that just hit different. It was this crazy phenomenon that hasn’t since been replicated. I think I went to it 4 times, and each was as epic as the last.

    Psyched for the re release (*first time* seeing it in theaters!), but this trailer feels somewhat half-assed. >!It doesn’t even have the “DOINK!” guy in it, for God’s fuckin’ sake!!<

    I teach writing and disaster analysis at my local university in the fall term, and the example I use for applying the analysis framework is the Titanic. The research for this led me to watch a bunch of Titanic movies.

    The funny thing about Cameron’s Titanic movie is that it is the ONLY one of the bunch that actually seems to *like* the ship. I’m not kidding – this movie is the only one that had any content demonstrating why somebody would want to be on board, or think the ship was something special.

    As far as the others go…

    *Atlantic* (1929) is this bizarre combination of two different movies fighting for screen time. The first is a tense story of survival, and the second is some people in a drawing room having a very slow and drawn out conversation. At the end of the film, the first movie invades the second for a drink, and the ship, very notably, DOESN’T sink…the movie just ends.

    The Nazi *Titanic* (1943) is **amazing**…in a “Rifftrax HAS to do this one someday” kind of way. It really has to be seen to be believed. Most of the film is obsessed with the stock exchange and manipulation of it. The iceberg acts like a U-boat. A German officer is the sole voice of reason, and his coat apparently grants anybody wearing it authority to give orders (even when it’s his Russian girlfriend). Sadly, it’s *Nazi* propaganda, and the behind the scenes stuff is truly horrifying, including the first director being murdered by the Gestapo, the set being the only light source in the German countryside at night during strategic bombing, and the ship they filmed it on being retasked to trick the British into bombing it and contributing to the Holocaust. But, that notwithstanding, it is worth sitting through the movie just for the “What the HELL am I watching” experience.

    *Titanic* (1953) is surprisingly good. It’s using a fictional couple as a framing narrative in a similar way to the Cameron movie, albeit with different details, but the characters are properly developed, and the tragedy we see through their eyes lands properly. The ending sequence with the passengers still on the ship singing a hymn as it goes down is pretty powerful, even if it never happened in reality. This is underrated, and I think it would have been much better remembered if a far better movie hadn’t come out only a few years later.

    And that other movie is *A Night to Remember* (1958), which is pretty much perfect. I’m not kidding there. I mean, yeah, the ship goes down in one piece instead of breaking in half, but this was decades before they found the thing. Everything else about it is a perfect film.

    1) The 3D conversion of this done 10 years ago wasn’t very good. I’m not sure they did a new one between now and then

    2) It’s not really HFR, it’s motion interpolation – effectively, a more expensive, “Better” version of the “Motionflow” setting on your TV, since Titanic was shot at 24fps. I’m putting “better” in quotes because they tried this on Avatar for its 2022 re-release and it didn’t look good.

    3) No part of this movie was ever shot or intended to be seen in either 3D or Motion Smoothed “HFR” so if you’re really interested in seeing the movie as intended, hopefully there are big PLF screens that AREN’T essentially showing you a fake-upscaled, fake 3D, fake HFR version of it, and are in fact giving you the original film as everyone involved meant for it to be seen.

    One of the jewels in James Cameron’s crown. A masterpiece that i missed in cinemas way back when. I’ll be there this time, can’t wait!
