Titanica (1995)
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.

I'll tell you why so serious
A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.
Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.
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
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.
This IMAX film did not give me what I was expecting. I wanted to see the ship more than I wanted to see the three guys talking in the sub. That's what most of the movie was. Just one long conversation. Definitely the worst IMAX film I've ever seen. Unless you're the eavesdropping type, I'd recommend avoiding this titanic failure.
Another great IMAX documentary film from, Director: Stephen Low. The footage is breathtaking,as well as hauntingly eerie. When you watch it you almost feel like you are right there. From all that has been written or said & filmed, on the Titanic, I don't think anyone can really imagine what the crew & passengers must have gone through on that fateful night. This documentary is a chilling remembrance.A must-see!!!
