Demonstration quality Blu Ray
This film, while injecting a romantic aspect to this infamous event, has so much to offer in terms of groundbreaking special effects, meticulous attention to scenic detail, and a marvelous musical score all adding up to a now iconic film. Predecessors, such as "A Night To Remember" from the UK and "Titanic," from the USA provided their own versions of the story, with many considering the British film to be the most historically accurate presentation. However, James Cameron outdid himself by extending the dramatic canvas to be framed by both real and simulated underwater footage, tied into the recollections of what is portrayed as the aged version of the female lead. This plot device, of course, allows Mr. Cameron to showcase his association with the first deep dives to find and photograph the wreck of the ship.
The technical quality of this Blu Ray, by those who know about such things, is considered "demonstration quality." I fully agree, and if one can enjoy watching a tragedy unfold, this film has to be the best example of such an effort. An easy five stars!
The provided "extras" yield many hours of enjoyment and information regarding the production of the film. For those who have friends with only a DVD player, the extra disc in that format allows them to view the film, as well. A true bargain, overall.
