James Cameron's "Titanic" is an epic, action-packed romance set against the ill-fated maiden voyage of the R.M.S. Titanic; the pride and joy of the White Star Line and, at the time, the largest moving object ever built. She was the most luxurious liner of her era -- the "ship of dreams" -- which ultimately carried over 1,500 people to their death in the ice cold waters of the North Atlantic in the early hours of April 15, 1912.

Critics Consensus

A mostly unqualified triumph for James Cameron, who offers a dizzying blend of spectacular visuals and old-fashioned melodrama.

Easily one of the most well known movies of all time, for making one billion at the global box office, I was quite surprised to learn that it was 3 hours and 15 minutes, I mean, that's longer than it took the actual ship to sink! But, oh my God, James Cameron, Leonardo DiCaprio, Kate Winslet, Billy Zane, and Gloria Stuart make this one of the best romantic and terrifying movies of all time. The underlying suspense combined with the sexual tension makes for a true filmmaking classic.

This was a huge achievement in film making. You could tell throughout that this was pure acting from all characters. Probably one of if not the best Leonardo Di'caprio Movies that he's been in. James Cameron paid attention to as much realism (beside the love story) as possible. Of course everyone says that things such as Jack being able to fit on the door "Ruined" this movie, but that would quite frankly be boring. Watch this on Apple TV right now if you haven't already. You won't regret it.

Undeniably dramatic ending, but underwhelming cast appearance. Perhaps too non intellectual for this, but it was too long with edgy moments throughout to help you not leave the theater

My favorite line in the movie comes from Kathy Bates’ Molly Brown, who instantly sizes up the tension between Billy Zane’s arrogant Cal and his betrothed Rose...

Titanic is, in the end, and despite being prohibited to those under 12 years old, a film for children of all ages, for those ready to gasp at a parade of wonders and eager to be swept away.

'Titanic' isn’t shy about reaching for the heartstrings, but it’s so well made and acted that it’s impossible to look away from.
