Titanic 3D *

It's the era of 3D and 3G where the two-dimensional realms are becoming passe. While Indian film industry is planing to digitize it's colossal collection of block-busters, Hollywood is one step further. Re-releasing the legends with an added dimension. And James Cameron is the apparent torch bearer fallen so deep in love with the ocean that he managed to reach the Challenger Deep of Mariana Trench.

This opportunity is actually for those who haven't seen the class act yet. But for those who have seen it even on the small screen, it is sheer waste. And also it's 3 hours 15 minutes long. There is nothing 3D about it. No difference whatsoever from the original. And the fuzz created by the newspapers that the censor board hasn't censored anything is apparently a rumor. You don't get to see Kate Winslet's assets in 3D. What a disappointment!

Things have changed now. People's taste has surely. No body likes stretched and tortoised screenplay. After witnessing the mind boggling heights of animation in flicks like Avatar, Transformers and so on, the viewers expect much more than what this 1997 cult has to offer. It did win 11 Oscars then, but today even in 3D, it's not worth even one. Yes, the original did deliver stuff that will stay forever. The duo stretching hands and embracing the sea. The collapse of the titanic into two parts and the sheer gigantism of the efforts needed. The 3D adds nothing. Except it makes Kate look real fat and almost like a motherly figure to Dicaprio. In all possibilities, avoid it.
