The two billion-dollar box office phenomenon and winner of 11 Academy Awards®, TITANIC, makes its highly anticipated debut on Blu-ray 2D and 3D on September 10, 2012 from Paramount Home Media Distribution and Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment.  Available in high definition for the first time ever, James Cameron’s timeless and unforgettable tour de force will be presented in stunning 2D and 3D, providing a cinematic in-home experience of TITANIC like never before.  Marking 101 years ago today that the RMS Titanic was launched into the Belfast Lough, film fans worldwide can now pre-order the epic love story on Blu-ray 2D or Blu-ray 3D™ with participating online retailers.

James Cameron commented, “Blu-ray extends TITANIC’s immersive 3D theatrical experience into audiences’ homes, where their living room becomes the backdrop for big spectacular environments and intense action, as well as profoundly intimate human moments, allowing generations of fans—new and old—to truly become part of the movie like never before.”

Presented in a four-disc 2D Blu-ray/DVD combo pack with Digital Copy or, for the ultimate experience in fully immersive 3D, in a four-disc Blu-ray 3D and 2D combo pack with Digital Copy, this high-definition presentation of TITANIC is a must have for film fans’ home media collections.  Both sets feature more than 2 ½ hours of new bonus footage never-before-released on disc, including a fascinating in-depth exploration of the film with James Cameron, as well as documentary footage produced by National Geographic with James Cameron that brings the world's leading RMS Titanic experts together to solve the lingering mysteries of why and how the “unsinkable" ship sank. 

The sets also boast previously released special features including 30 deleted scenes, over 60 behind-the-scenes featurettes, a look at the groundbreaking visual effects, over 2,000 photos, three commentaries and much, much more.  TITANIC will also be available in a two-disc DVD set with deleted scenes and, for the first time ever, for digital download.

Starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet in the roles that would make them global stars, TITANIC tells the story of the epic romance between two star-crossed lovers set against the backdrop of the legendary and ill-fated maiden voyage of the “ship of dreams.”

 Our Take:

This movie sure brings back memories, ahh I was in high school and did not have a worry in the world (well of course exams were a worry back in those days). I have always been a fan of the story of the Titanic, and because of this I have seen each movie and all the TV specials that had to do with the ship. From visiting museums locally to visiting exhibits in London, I have done a lot to see Titanic exhibits and the like. The movie Titanic, well I remember seeing this in the theaters during the first run three times! Yes I saw this movie three times in the theater, it was a great movie.

Now with the special edition Blu-ray there is so much more to love about this movie. Sure the story of Jack and Rose is still there, I still cry each time! But there is also 2 hours of additional extras in this dvd set. Wow, I loved the new information I learned about the movie. The Reflections on Titanic and The Final Word with James Cameron was great to watch.

This movie looks as great on my TV as it did in on the big screen back in my high school days.

I would highly recommend this new dvd set, see the movie again for the first time. Make sure to check out all of the extras, they are some of the best bonus features I have ever seen on any dvd before.

You can purchase this special edition Blu-ray at your local store, or online at Amazon
