Titanic: The White Star Extended Edition

Review by Captain Khajiit

This is the best extended edition I have ever seen. The subject matter of the film fully justifies an epic extended edition of this nature, and the film easily absorbs the extra running time. I only became aware of the time when the first disc of this three-disc set ended.

I found each of the added scenes contributed to in some small way to the film, and filled out the story of one of the most remarkable disasters in world history. I do not care much for the alternative ending, but as the second and third discs are identical apart from the ending, one can take one’s choice.

Editing: 10 out of 10 for the editing itself – it was plain sailing all the way through

Entertainment: 10 out of 10 (theatrical – 9 out of 10)

Image and video quality: The video was excellent, with an almost imperceptible reduction in quality being present in the deleted scenes. 10 out of 10

Audio editing and audio quality: There is clear audio throughout, with only one hardcut being present, at a non-critical juncture, which did not take me out of the film at all. 9 out of 10

Presentation: who cares?

Overall: 10 out of 10

With adigitalman at the helm, Titanic becomes an unsinkable success.

A marvelous piece of work that made a piece of modern Hollywood film-making even better. Truly an epic effort by A Digital Man to restore into place all the deleted scenes. Usually putting back this much footage into a film makes it unbearably ponderous, but in this case it seems to just make the story that much richer. Much more character development now, and many of the secondary and tertiary roles are better defined as real people, which is important (especially with the historical characters i.e. Titanic’s officers) in the second half after the collision/during the sinking when we get the very best and the very worst of behavior. A big round of applause from me to A Digital Man for this 10 star fanedit.
