After 25 years, the iconic movie “Titanic” is back in theaters for Valentine’s Day. The James Cameron-directed film, which took the world by storm when released in 1997, was shown in 4k and 3D for the first time.

The romantic tragedy, starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet, captured the hearts of millions around the world when it first premiered in 1997 and went on to become the highest-grossing film of all time — until it was dethroned by Cameron’s own movie “Avatar” in 2009. In fact, its sequel, “Avatar: The Way of Water,” passed “Titanic” just recently, only for “Titanic” to pass it once again. James Cameron mastered the beast of the box office.

The epic movie tells the story of poor American artist Jack Dawson falling in love with Rose DeWitt Bukater, a wealthy woman aboard the ill-fated ship Titanic, which sank on its maiden voyage, claiming over 1,500 lives. The film received critical acclaim for its gripping storyline, breathtaking visuals and superb acting performances.

TITANIC AND VALENTINE’S DAY

The 4k and 3D upgrade brought the movie back to life for modern audiences who can now experience the magic of “Titanic” in a new way. With every detail crisp and clear, viewers can immerse themselves in the stunning visuals of the ship and the vastness of the ocean. The 3D version adds a new layer of depth and perspective, making the story more emotional and intense.

“Titanic” remains a cultural phenomenon, with fans still debating over the movie’s ending and the iconic scene where Jack and Rose stand on the bow of the ship with their arms outstretched. The re-release perfectly coincided with Valentine’s Day, as “Titanic” continues to prove that its timeless romance connects with audiences.

The re-release of “Titanic” is a perfect opportunity for fans to relive the magic of the movie and for a new generation to experience it for the first time. Whether a viewer is a die-hard fan or a newcomer to the story, this 4k and 3D version is the ultimate way to see the classic film in theaters.

Brendan Peters, Staff Writer
Brendan Peters is a senior music education major who loves the arts, food and talking about anything. I was born in a suburb of Toronto, Canada, but my family moved to the great city of La Mirada when I was 4, where I have lived ever since. I love music (especially choral music), and I have aspirations of being a great choral director after Biola. I am a rabid movie fan, and you can probably catch me in a theater by myself on any given night, most likely watching a movie for the second time. I also love food and exploring all of the eateries that SoCal has to offer, so if you need a recommendation, I’m your guy. I have had experience running multiple podcasts over the years and love to write, especially about the arts in its many forms. Talking about anything is kind of my thing.
