At the beginning of the year everyone was talking about Avatar: The Way of Water. But 25 years earlier, James Cameron had made an even better 3-hour epic with Titanic. The masterpiece starring Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio is available on Star+.
The world had to wait 13 long years for that Avatar: The Path of Waterthe sequence of Avatars, the most successful film of all time, has finally hit theaters. The interest was great. Not only because we could be sure that the director James Cameron would once again offer the maximum from a technical point of view. We were also curious to see if the master director this time could not only deliver 3D visuals, but also present multidimensional characters that were more than just decals.
For many, however, this was not the case. Avatar 2 is audiovisually innovative, there’s no doubt about that. However, emotionally, it is not a sweeping adventure or fantasy; we see James Cameron simply operating on the autopilot of narrative cinema. At some point it just becomes a string of overly transparent keywords. Even on a dramaturgical level. James Cameron made a much better 3 hour epic much earlier.
Of course we are talking Titanic which is currently only available in the catalogue Star+. Not only is the 1997 romance or disaster movie far better than the Avatar sequel, but it’s also James Cameron’s best film ever, even before Terminator 2 – Judgment Day, Aliens OR The secret of the abyss. The historical drama manages to give us goosebumps not only as a show, but also as a gripping love story.
