Titanic - Page 2

One wonders why then you started this thread, and are all over this board every second of every day???

I'm the opposite I loved every minute of it. I cannot wait.

You have every right to express your opinion, I know there a films I like that many don't like ( and they made sure I knew ) , but that's the way of life.

Differences in opinions is one of the best things about the AVS Forum.
Unfortunately, in today's modern American society it isn't encouraged.

I'm right there with you on the melodramatic. Honestly, I don't care for the whole love story part and find it pretty cheesy. I just like the historical take and love the production design. Plus, it's got some good sound and visuals.

Spot on. I love the film and saw in the theater in April and have the BD on order. It's a pretty nice looking movie and Cameron doesn't disappoint

I love Titanic, always have. And I can't wait for the Blu-ray!

This disc looks amazing (2D.) There is some slight, and I mean very slight banding in some of the underwater shots but this may be from the cameras they had to use for those scenes. Also some slight mush is revealed in some CGI shots. Otherwise, this is top of the food chain. This is among the best Blu Ray images I have ever seen.

Some banding was evident in the 15/70 IMAX version I saw, so that's down to the source.

of course the moive is very good,but I want to say,some small mistake can make big trouble.

Agreed. The only reason one can see the slight variation in resolution between some of the CG shots and the live action is that this transfer IS that good.

I loaded this up last night just to sample the transfer before watching something else, and found it very difficult to turn off. Really gorgeous images, and completely engrossing on a relatively large (106") projection system.

Down to the digital master, you mean. Of course there is no "banding" in a celluloid print.

DVD vs. Blu-ray

Spectacular improvement, IMO. Look at the detail in the crowd on the pier as TITANIC is pulling away (cap #2). Look at the detail that was previously blown-out in the lampshade and in the window, in what I believe is the dining hall (cap #7). Love it!

wow!

Both the detail and colors are spectacular!!

Woah. For all the comments that Cameron had already T&O'd Titanic for the SE DVD, the Blu-ray version decides the issue once and for all. I don't mind it in the least, YMMV.

Stars/no stars in this comparison. http://www.caps-a-holic.com/hd_vergleiche/comparison.php?cap1=14062&cap2=14046&art=full&image=2&cID=1259&action=1&lossless=#vergleich

It could be that DVD resolution couldn't resolve them (and the Euro SE DVD was filtered a bit more than the US one, gonna check my R1 now), but I seem to remember that the background in that shot has always been pitch black. Another little Cameron tweakeroo, perhaps?

Well, duh. Titanic 3D's 4K origination has been well publicised, no?

Wow is right, the difference is startling.

Thanx for posting the link.

Saw a clip and there looks to possibly be some EE, plenty of noise and the CGI is now even more artificial looking (expected).

That said it was the best I have ever seen this movie look... by far.

I don't care for the movie but it's one of my wife's favorites so we'll be buying on release day.

There was actually quite a bit of digital alterations: I counted at least two instances of set lights removed, Baja was removed from the horizon in a few short scenes, stars were added to numerous night time scenes, including one with the corrected star field for 1912, one instance of obvious flexing foam set as a passenger crashed into has been fixed, etc. (Jack's window reflection and partially visible unfinished Titanic set remain unfortunately).

I know a lot of people are not big fans of teal/orange color grading, but apart from that, this is a tremendous 4K restoration job. As good as I have EVER seen. The detail is extraordinary, with very little present grain. Just marvelous.

This will be one of my favorite reference discs for years to come. It's a must own for any Blu-Ray collector.

10/10

Is some place selling this already?

Yeah, that's the shot that nagys mentioned. It looked be-yoo-tiful, too. I just wasn't aware that X amount more stuff had been fiddled with, apart from the wire removal of the whiskey glass sliding off of the mantlepiece. I was sad enough to be looking out for that one in the cinema.

That's right! The wire was removed as well It looked bad before, now it's perfect.

P.S. Hopefully for The Terminator remaster, Lightstorm has removed that blatantly visible wire towing the model truck before it explodes.
