Story:

84 years later, a 101-year-old woman named Rose DeWitt Bukater tells the story to her granddaughter Lizzy Calvert, Brock Lovett, Lewis Bodine, Bobby Buell and Anatoly Mikailavich on the Keldysh about her life set in April 10th 1912, on a ship called Titanic when young Rose boards the departing ship with the upper-class passengers and her mother, Ruth DeWitt Bukater, and her fiancé, Caledon Hockley. Meanwhile, a drifter and artist named Jack Dawson and his best friend Fabrizio De Rossi win third-class tickets to the ship in a game. And she explains the whole story from departure until the death of Titanic on its first and last voyage April 15th, 1912 at 2:20 in the morning.

Review:

The movie is wonderful. One of the best romantic movies I’ve ever seen. The movie doesn’t go overboard with useless comedy. James Cameron is a genius. While watching it, the movie being melodramatic would be the last thing on your mind.

It’s a timeless classic which does not loose its grandeur, how many times you see it. The visual and background score was  grand. ‘My Heart Will Go On’ by Celine Dion is beautiful song. Of all the movies that have been re-released in 3D, Titanic seems to be the most logical and best choice, for its sheer brilliance. Watching the movie in 3D wasn’t a waste of money at all.

I had never seen Titanic before this time. And the 3D kept me captivated in the wonderful story. Gloria Stuart acted very well as the old Rose and Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio as Rose and Jack Dawson (respectively) acted awesomely.

Final Verdict:

Titanic in another epic movie like E.T. .. 9/10

Story:

The planet from Alien has been colonized, but contact is lost. This time, the rescue team has impressive firepower, but will it be enough?

Review:

This one is better than the previous one. As soon as I started seeing this movie, I saw my self drawing comparisons to James Cameron’s Avatar. For example, those mechanised things used to lift the loads is similar to those used in Avatar as battle suits.
There was one problem for me was that, the meeting at the start of the movie went on for three hours right? In that time, didn’t the colonisation of LV-426? I’m just asking. Shouldn’t that have come up in a three-hour long meeting??

It was an amazing movie otherwise. There was a change in the tone of the movie from Sci-fi Horror to Sci-Fi Action.
The acting was brilliant and the background score was good too.

This too is a must watch for Sci-fi lovers.

Now only Aliens 3 and Alien Resurrection left in my Alien Anthology.

Final Verdict:
9/10.
