Titanic: The Final Word with James Cameron (2012)

Best movie ever!

A very feeble attempt at affirmatie action

It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

Fine documentary over the famous Titanic on dark night when it sunk in north atlantic with several experts over the vessel,but James Cameron has your own opinion about the disaster,he asking for everybody answers for each single episode in discussion,but whatever the answers he has the final world as describe the title,a bit too long but very impressive details over that night,however highly recommended for those who want to go beyond!!Resume:First watch: 2018 / How many: 1 / Source: Blu-ray / Rating: 7.25

Once more, just because a billionaire can afford to pursue his HOBBY of diving shipwrecks doesn't make him a scientist.In "Titanic: The Final Word with James Cameron," the ultra-wealthy filmmaker attempts to convince a group of Naval SCIENTISTS that his imaginative musing on the sinking of the Titanic is as good as actual SCIENCE.Naval hydrodynamics experts watched Cameron's presentation with expressions of incredulity, then flatly refuted Cameron's overblown hypotheses to his face. The producers of this film give the REAL experts only a matter of SECONDS to state their case.I mean, has anyone ever thought of just standing up and telling James Cameron, "You're NOT a SCIENTIST, okay? You're a rich guy surrounded by a bunch of Titanic groupies and yes-men."

I won't get into the politics the previous reviewer brought up about Cameron, since one man's opinions and ideas and thoughts are their own - though you can't deny that Cameron does have a point towards the last conclusion. Instead I'll just quickly talk about my impressions of the documentary. It is very well put together. You have, first and foremost a panel of various professionals and researchers and throughout it there are interviews with them which provide a more emotional side to the documentary aside from the analytical talk with the scenes of the "roundtable" of researchers. Cameron provides various animations from beginning to the end based on factual data they've all come up with throughout the years and it's really fascinating to watch all of it. I especially loved the bits when Cameron's pre-vis artist demonstrated an animation of real-time sinking of the ship post break-up. Quite a sight. You have various other animations based on data that was eye-opening as well. You also have bits and pieces where Cameron and the team discuss the new information and relate it to his film - what he got right and what he got wrong. The overall production quality is solid, even down to the set they're in, very good music plays throughout it as well, sort of above standard type of pieces you'd normally see in these made for TV documentaries. Filled with more emotion that fits the interviews or the scenes. If you're an avid Titanic fan like me, who's been fascinated with the ship and its fate since 10 years old - you are no doubt going to enjoy it. That isn't to say people who don't know much or don't care wouldn't - it would actually be more informative for them. However all in all, it's a solid piece regardless. Well put together.

Cameron puts a panel of experts together to debate the aspects of the sinking of the Titanic. The graphics were excellent as they demonstrated the different possibilities of how the ship sank. In the end they reached a consensus and produced a final graphic. The last 5 minutes were destroyed by Cameron's political viewpoint which I really don't care to hear. Cameron went on a diatribe about the Titanic being the great feat of human engineering that was too big to miss the iceberg. He then relates this to today with "big oil", corporations and global warming. He states that global warming will be the next iceberg and greedy capitalist are not going to change the way they do things and thus global warming is inevitable. It amazing that he doesn't see the next iceberg as crashing economies from over-sized governments. Maybe he is too big the steer away from the iceberg he can't even see.
