Info

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.

Titanica Audience Reviews

Interesteg What makes it different from others?
GurlyIamBeach Instant Favorite.
Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.
Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
Michael_Elliott Titanica (1995) *** (out of 4) Good, if rather routine, documentary about the sinking of the Titanic. The main attraction here is that there were seventeen dives down to the resting site of the ship, all with high tech lights as well as IMAX cameras. Having watched just about every Titanic documentary that I could get my hands on, I was a little confused by the mission of this film. I say that because the start of the movie talks about the various new bits of technology that's going to allow them to get some of the most amazing footage that has ever been seen of the ship. Great. However, once the film is over you keep asking yourself what exactly did they film for seventeen dives and why is it that so much footage appears to be missing here. The majority of the 67-minute running time (the home video version) is just like any other documentary in that we here about the building up the ship, about some of the passengers and then of course that deadly night when the ship hit the iceberg. We get several images of photos of the ship, newspaper reports and there's even some interview footage with historians and Eva Hart, a survivor. This is all fine but if the filmmakers were going to brag about this new technology it really does seem that they would have given us more images of the sunken ship and not just the same story. Now, with that said, I understand that some of the story was needed for those unfamiliar with the event but I don't think this should have been the main focus. When we do get images of the ship there's no question that they are quite breathtaking. The images are certainly haunting and crystal clear as well.
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
nucksfan4life 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.
Axiom-2 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!!!
