Movie Review: Titanic

One of the most epic and monumental productions ever attempted, Titanic soared to the top of the box office charts in 1997. Winning 11 Academy Awards including Best Picture, this grandiose film often takes a lot of heat for catering too much to female crowds, a.k.a. the "chick flick". However, the historical tale of the doomed monstrosity of the sea packs quite a bit of action, amazing special effects, an excellent score and lavish designs that can appeal to everyone.

Brock Lovett (Bill Paxton) and his crew of deep-sea treasure hunters investigate the ruins of one of the most famous wreckage sites: the final resting place of the Titanic. When they discover a drawing of a beautiful young woman (Kate Winslet) wearing the "Heart of the Ocean" diamond, the jewel they've been hunting for, they announce it on the news. Rose, now a 101 year old lady comes forward to claim ownership of the drawing. Fascinated by the thought of uncovering the secrets of the diamond and details about the fateful night of the legendary ship, the crew patiently listens as Rose tells them about her adventure and romance with Jack Dawson (Leonardo DiCaprio) aboard the unsinkable Titanic.
