The latest expedition to Titanic by Cameron was a haunting revisiting of the past. The Turkish Bath, the ship's spa, looked like an underwater Pompeii, with its glistening Moroccan tiles, and passengers' cabins also yielded unexpected beauty among the murk and muck -- like a gilt clock still standing on a fireplace mantle, and a cut-glass window screen frosted in a lace pattern. These video captures taken inside Titanic weren't just glimpses of the remains of the lost liner but peeps into the elegant era that it has come to symbolize; they're also stark reminders of the tragedy that played out there with all its human consequence. Cameron accomplished an historically significant exploration, perhaps the most important of his research dives, in the 2005 project. He's to be commended for his dedication to maritime study, as is his featured team of historical, visual and engineering experts (who wouldn't have shared the spotlight had they accompanied the omnipotent Dr. Ballard on a dive).

I really enjoyed it: it featured "rusticles," never-before-seen-footage, and lots of interesting stories about the sinking. It was very interesting, technically-speaking. I agree with you about the repetitive Titanic clips, though. I posted a complete review over at Divester (http://www.divester.com/2005/07/28/last-mysteries-of-the-titanic-reviewed/).

The Titanic Sank? Next time could you at least put a *spoiler warning*, please?

"Someone give the man a new movie"? I was thinking just this the other day: why did Cameron stop making Hollywood movies? I assume he's simply not interested any more. I can't imagine it's a problem of nobody wanting to "give the man a movie", given his moneymaking track record...

Cameron is to be commended for his contribution to underwater exploration. This is a tremendous technical achievement. No one expects him to single-handedly solve all the mysteries of the Titanic, but think about how much he has done and how much more we did get to see. What other reality show takes place two and half miles underwater with cool little swimming robots and the possibility of genuine scientific and historical discovery lurking in the pitch black just around the corner.

I would have much rather seen Robert Ballard host this program. He probably wouldn't reference the movie every few minutes. I'm glad I didn't watch it after all.
