You have to see it

Rating: 8/10 (19 July 1999)

Look, I don't want to give away the ending, but the ship sinks.
If you want suspense, surprise, happy endings, or twists in the plot, then this really is not what you're looking for. On the other hand if you watched "Apollo 13" knowing the crew get home safely in the end anyway, and still enjoyed it for the personal insight into a significant historical event, then you have to watch "Titanic". As a film it is rightly to be considered a classic, both for the storyline (as seen from the perspective of the young lovers) and for the special effects.
Kate and Leonardo perform well in their roles, but it's the character played by Billy Zane which gives the story that extra bite. This is the guy you WANT to see going down with the ship.
