Before James Cameron's fabled 1997 movie, we were given this 1996 two episode mini-series titled "Titanic", and it was indeed an amazing viewing experience. So let's not have Cameron's 1997 movie in mind, not before a year after this one at least.
The storyline in "Titanic" is one that needs no introduction, and thus I will not delve into it in detail. And if you by some stroke of amazing luck are unfamiliar with the maiden voyage of the Titanic, then shame on you.
The cast ensemble in this 1996 mini-series was great, and there were some really nice talents on the cast list. With talents such as Peter Gallagher, George C. Scott, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Roger Rees, Marilu Henner, the amazing Tim Curry, and many others, then you are in quite good company actually. And needless to say that the actors and actresses in this mini-series performed quite well and brought life to their characters on the screen in very believable and convincing manners.
Visually then this 1996 mini-series was quite good. Sure, the CGI animated ship itself looks a bit shoddy when you sit down to watch the mini-series today. But it is still passable and the practical effects definitely look good. The attention to detail is good, and things look very authentic on the screen.
If you haven't already seen this 1996 mini-series, then you certainly should do so, if you get the chance. It is quite well-worth taking nearly three hours to sit down and watch.
My rating of the mini-series "Titanic" from 1996 lands on a seven out of ten stars.
