wolfentertainment When I first heard about this, I was intrigued, I had been interested in the Titanic long before the movie came out and underwater exploration of the shipwreck had always been fascinating to me. I finally got my hands on the DVD of this documentary and well I was blown away by the stuff they showed from INSIDE the ship, it was a pity that they didn't show more, because they could've easily omitted parts where they were on the Keldysh and the poorly recreated scenes from the ship.All in all, this was good and showed some stuff I haven't seen before, but if you really want to see better footage of the shipwreck inside and out I'd recommend other documentaries that are in the same line as this one. But yet it was still interesting, light-hearted and mind blowing to see the condition of the ship itself.

lotsabears65 I don't own the DVD (yet), but have seen this documentary on cable several times. It was quite interesting, but what drew my attention was the song played at the end called "Darkness Darkness." I have not been able to catch who sings the ballad or who wrote the song. By the time I can focus on the small print and see the song's name, the screen changes. Can anyone tell me who wrote the song, who sings it in this documentary, and if it is available? Thanks! :O)In addition, I would like to know what James Cameron sees in Bill Paxton. His acting in all his movies (if you call it acting) is truly awful. His narration in this documentary was just plain pathetic. His choice of words and his comments just did nothing for the documentary. All I kept saying to myself was "I wish he would shut up!" Mr. Cameron should have done the narration himself or at least chose someone else to do it...anyone other than Paxton. Other than that, this documentary was quite interesting to watch. The footage obtained was awesome. If anyone could help me with the music I've noted above, I would appreciate it. Thanks!! :o)

Michael O'Keefe Made especially for IMAX 3D theaters, GHOSTS OF THE ABYSS is a labor of love for writer and director James Cameron. Cameron along with his friend and actor Bill Paxton and a well designed crew of history and marine experts goes back to the sight of the wreckage of the legendary Titanic. This is a groundbreaking cinematic achievement that lets you experience the exploration of the entire ship...deck by deck; room by room. This great ship lays naked with some of its remains still well preserved. Lead glass windows, water bottles and dishes are found mostly undisturbed and in the condition at the time of the Titanic's historic sinking. The Titanic serves as a tombstone for nearly 1,500 souls, who lost their lives close to a century ago. As you watch two revolutionary robot subs peep deep in the remains of this majestic ship; you realize it is all witnessed by the ghosts of the abyss. Even on the small screen this documentary is a site to behold.

len-26 This movie is quite good, but it's not for everybody. The main story line is "going to see the Titanic". If that doesn't interest you, don't see it. If that would bore you after ten minutes, don't see it.On the other hand, if watching incredible visually stunning footage of the Titanic does interest you, then this is your movie. The occasional overlay of old photographs is very helpful for understanding what we're looking it. I wanted this movie to go on longer.My only criticism is that I disagree with some of Cameron's interpretations of historical events.(WARNING, MINOR SPOILER AHEAD)For example it is a fact that one single passenger reported overhearing a conversation between Captain Smith and Bruce Ismay in which Ismay insisted that the ship go faster. But does that mean the conversation actually took place? Cameron describes the conversation as fact. In reality, we don't know.In summary, I highly recommend this movie to anyone interested in simply viewing the Titanic in its underwater grave.
