Classic and Timeless

Rating: 10/10 (10 April 2012)

I just came back from watching it in IMAX 3D. The movie stands classic and timeless. If anything, with some revealing mistakes digitally modified (eg. The visible strings that pulled the cups off the fireplace where Mr. Andrews stood during the sinking; They re- colored the upper half of the funnel that fell upon those poor people; The metal reel that crinkled when it was hit by a man; The famous milky way shot where Rose was lying on the wooden plank) and the image enhanced, it looked better than ever and felt extremely intimate because of the "subtle" 3D conversion. The colors simply looked beautiful and bright and the change between blue and red intensified the drama and viewers' emotions very effectively. The "I'm flying" scene at the bow worked as if you were actually there, with seawater going by underneath your vision. The most wonderful thing was that as the movie went, the 3D effect gradually became "invisible" because all viewers got so deeply drawn into the film and they just got used to it. You will find yourself laughing at the "cheesy" jokes in the cheery and glamorous first half of the movie and quieting down and grieving for the tragic loss of so many lives as the ship sinks with the whole audience.
It lived up to what they promised it to be. It is just such a wonderful thing that so many people are willing to go back to the cinemas and share the experience with all the other audiences there again and again, even just for the old time's sake. The watching of the movie itself is just so pleasant, emotional and nostalgic. It is definitely worth watching again on the big screen.
