I enjoyed this far more than I expected to. I have always found disaster stories fascinating, and this one is especially well done. The slow build is effective, setting up the theme of class inequality that is just as relevant now as it was in 1912. The scenes of the ship filling up with water are heartbreaking. James Cameron truly understands how to convey scale and spectacle.
I could have done without the “old lady looking back” aspect, which adds little and could have been cut entirely, but I suppose they wanted to make it a century-spanning epic.
Kate Winslet and Leonardo diCaprio are fantastic as the doomed young lovers.
