Though the movie captures your senses......

Rating: 8/10 (3 April 2000)

Titanic
DIRECTION 98% Lovely amounts of accurate details and the ship sinking is a tour de force.

ACTING 73% The unsinkable Molly (Kathy Bates) was great. Kate Winslet got an oscar nomination. But the others may have to learn more for next time.
EDITING/SPECIAL EFFECTS 100% Can you get more realistic than this?!
PLOT 45% The weakest part of the film. but some people like pseudo love stories!
STRONG WORDS AND VIOLENCE ETC 86% A brief sex scene which should not be there. Oh of course people dying every second when the ship is sinking.
MUSIC 100% Sheer joy so get both James Horner albums, with Irish music sounding like this and Celion Dion rumbling away you probably listen to the music than watch the movie.
SOUND 96% Incredible effects like the ship sounds, the crackling of the stern and the human noises crying for help against the rushing of the waves and the debris.
HOOKABILITY 98% When you see the computer models and underwater cameras you want to do aqua driving as soon as possible!
LASTABILITY 98% You do want the ship to sink don't you. Then fast forward the middle 'non-romantic' section of the movie.
OVERALL 83% Though the movie captures your senses, it leave your brain in neutral.
