Synopsis

Titanica is a fascinating non-fiction drama which tells the story of the 1991 expedition to the wreck of the Titanic, the "unsinkable" luxury liner which collided with an iceberg and sank on April 15, 1912, losing 1,522 lives. Viewers experience the adventure, drama and danger of deep sea exploration through the activities of an international expedition team composed of unique and colourful characters, each with their own personal interest in the legendary wreck. Combining spectacular life-size images of the shattered remains on the ocean floor with recollections by survivor Eva Hart and computer-enhanced archival photographs, Titanica brings to life a remarkable tale of history, science and human ambition.

Crwthod A lot more amusing than I thought it would be.
Seraherrera The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity
Jenna Walter The film may be flawed, but its message is not.
Winifred The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.
Syl If you're interested in the Titanic, you will definitely want to watch this DVD video about the sinking and the ship's fate. Eva Hart, the Titanic survivor, is interviewed here. She is the voice of reason who lost her beloved father in the disaster. Her mother had a terrible premonition about boarding the ship. The documentary is about the ship's disaster and its history. Eva Hart was a lovely British woman. I didn't even recognize Leonard Nimoy's voice at first. Still a perfect choice to narrate this beautiful documentary.
Lee Bartholomew I do agree the film doesn't come across as well as it coulda been shown as an IMAX film. But that aside, I don't care who talks to who. Sometimes I don't mind a mix of the history of within something like this. This technically could be useful if you watch this and Ghosts of the Abyss back to back as they are using Mir 1 and 2 in GOTA. The best footage is the debris field. The Titanic has it's debris field and that is part of the Titanic. It is very short, but with the hour your given, it really isn't that bad. I'd say my rating has more to do with watching this before you watch Ghosts. Instead of going in to a dead ship. And I've got the book with the photos of some of the white star line. And I learned some stuff thru the short interviews I hadn't before. I'd have to watch again to remember totally :)9/10Quality: 6/10 Entertainment: 9/10 Replayable: 9/10
Lee Eisenberg So the ship sank on its maiden voyage. We all know that, but "Titanica" is quite an impressive documentary. They not only talk about the actual sinking, but we also see the ship's remains on the ocean floor. It's neat and haunting at the same time. And believe you me, this is truly THE documentary that could only have been shown on the IMAX. Some of the information is hard to believe, but it all grows on you. All in all, if you want to know about that ship, this is the movie to see, not "Titanic" (why were they using a disaster to try and advance someone's career?). If possible, you should see this one. You may never want to go on a cruise.
RueMorgue One of the main reasons people see IMAX films is because of the size of the screen. This is especially true of IMAX format documentaries. However, in the case of this particular film, the size of the screen is the ONLY draw.Filmed in 1992, this movie followed a wave of Titanic popularity that peaked when the ship was found on the ocean floor by Robert Ballard in 1985. In this film, one of the many film crews that have been down to Titanic since then brings back images of the Titanic that are huge, and the Titanic is certainly deserving of such a format.However, that is where the point of this film ends. All of the images that are in this film have been seen before, and there isn't anything surprising contained within. If one was to watch the National Geographic presentation that was shown on television a short time after the wreck was found, they could have seen everything that appears here, albeit a tad smaller. Martin Sheen did an excellent job at narrating that particular presentation, and Leonard Nimoy does an adequate job here as well.Being a huge follower of the whole Titanic story, I was just bored to tears with this film. I wanted to see it because I am also a huge fan of the IMAX format, but I wish I hadn't wasted my time. The least they could have done was try and find something original to show us, rather than the same old same old. The fact that Titanic survivor Eva Hart is seen in this film isn't even a draw (bless her soul), as she has been seen in almost every documentary ever done on the Titanic, and her story seems to change a little bit each time she tells it.Overall, the best thing about this film is that it is presented in IMAX format. Along with this, the music that goes with the film is extremely haunting, and matches the whole story behind the presentation. However, I can't even recommend this film to Titanic buffs, so I wouldn't recommend it to the average layperson.My Rating: 3/10
