Titanic" is true to its name. The story is big in every way the story can be big. Big ship, huge sets featuring the interworkings of hundreds of actors, turbo-big budget, and a big historical disaster. But its big-named director, the writer, has never impressed me. "The Abyss," "Terminator" and all his other the story have come off as too flashy, melodramatic, predictable, and shallow. But in "Titanic", he has shown himself to be something far more talented than in any of his previous efforts.
