This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

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."

Titanic: Final Word with James Cameron (2012)**** (out of 4) Excellent documentary has director James Cameron sitting down with eight experts as they try to discover what really happened that tragic night when over 1,500 died. The nine men are basically locked in a room where they look at updated data, new animation, actual photos and various other bits of information. The group basically want to know why the ship sank so quickly, why it broke in two and at various speeds that all of this happened. People can say what they want about the attitude or cockiness of Cameron but there's no denying that he knows how to make a movie. This documentary was meant to be his final word on the subject and it's clear that he wanted it to be the final word on what really happened that night. I'm sure others will come along to debunk the evidence shown here and I'm sure there are a few members of this panel that doesn't agree with everything that is said. It does seem clear that Cameron had the final word on everything but there's no denying that this is an incredibly interesting documentary because it brings to life so many new theories on what happened and we get some wonderful computer animation showing what might have happened and when. We also get some beautiful diagrams of the ocean floor and we get to see where everything was located. Not only do we see it but we also get diagrams of how the stuff got where it landed. The documentary ends with some very interesting segments including one where they debate what could have been done to save everyone on board. Cameron also talks about some of the mistakes in his movie but thankfully he says he's not going to fix them and is going to let the movie stand. History buffs and those just curious with the romance of Titanic should really enjoy this documentary. Who knows if it will really be Cameron's final word on the subject but it's certainly a terrific document of the events.

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.
