Titanic Scenes in 3D now (revisit it)

Titanic is a cult movie. Survey results tells us that almost all girls have it onboard on their hard disks and a third of boys like to watch its glimpses on a regular basis. Don’t you dare ask the source. Some things can be safely assumed.
The intent in this review is not to review the cult movie, but to review the experience offered.
Rating for the experience – 4.5/5

Story –
Are you kidding? Obviously YES! IF you are a kid. And may be Titanic may just be the reason for it (ask your parents, if you dare). The story is same, that of original Titanic. Incase, you have missed it…head towards the movie theatre (for 3d) or open your torrents (for 2D). 3D recommended for sure.

The 3D experience –
Titanic 3D offers you the best 3D experience. Haven’t seen any movie better in this format. The awesome feeling, when people run on the deck and the fall from the ship’s mast into water is breadth-taking. The romantic feel even comes to non-romantics when DiCaprio and Kate stand in that famous T-pose. The water gushing into compartments, etc – Titanic 3D is an experience worth visiting.

People to review –
DiCaprio – He is a stud anyway.
Kate Winslet – You will like her. Some will love her. Nobody will ignore her.
James Cameron – fantastic business opportunity created. This will definitely create a trend now.

What works – brand Titanic
What not – may be the timeline (incase you have problems with 3D flicks)
SPEAKing PICtures verdict - Please gear up the 3D specs and revisit the cult.

ps: A kind of personal trivia. Dad has seen only 3 movies on 70mm till date – Hum Aapke Hain Kaun, Devdas and Titanic. Speaks the importance. Glad to catch it again on 70mm. Memories come back sometimes and you kind of love it!

Noticeable trivia – The seductive "drawing" scene is the first scene that Kate and DiCaprio did together. (source)
