With the highest-quality IMAX 3D film format creating crystal-clear images and powerful digital audio, coupled with The Henry Ford IMAX Theatre’s 62-foot-tall by 85-foot-wide screen, TITANIC: An IMAX 3D Experience produces the best-possible 3D movie-going experience that will have audiences feeling as if they are on board the real Titanic alongside the film’s characters. To achieve such quality, director James Cameron painstakingly and masterfully harnessed the power of present-day proprietary IMAX technology. By meticulously re-mastering the film into the IMAX 3D 15/70 Film Experience – every scene, every shot, frame-by-frame will immerse the moviegoer into the vast grandeur of TITANIC.
“There’s a whole generation that’s never seen TITANIC as it was meant to be seen: on the giant IMAX screen. And this will be TITANIC as you’ve never seen it before: painstakingly re-mastered into IMAX 3D,” said Cameron, quoted in a May 19, 2011 press release.
Written, directed and produced by Cameron, TITANIC is one of only three films to have received a record 11 Academy Awards – including Best Picture and Best Director. Since its initial release on December 19, 1997, this Oscar®-winning film starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet, has grossed $1.8 billion globally and remains the second-highest grossing film of all time behind Avatar. It held the number one box office slot for a record 18 weeks in 1997-98, and was shown in 56 different countries.
TITANIC has been rated PG-13 by the MPAA and has a running time of 194 minutes.
