5 out of 5 stars Great Documentary on the Titanic    November 10, 2008
Deverix A. Horn (US)
We bought this to show kids in a middle school class the REAL story of the titanic. We found that all the kids had an understanding of the Titanic that was based on the MOVIE, so I sought out a good documentary type of feel so they could get the real story and THIS IS IT! What a great film. You should have seen the faces of the kids - they were glued to TV screen and very unhappy when we had to stop the film because time was up for the class. They arrived the next day charged up, ready to get back into the story. You will enjoy this feel - it has great historic images and lots of "backstory" on the Titanic. Well constructed and narrated. This will now be shown for years to come to middle-schoolers who think Leonardo DiCaprio was actually on the ship, screaming "I'm the king of the world!!!"...


5 out of 5 stars Great...    June 3, 2008
Kris Laurino (Fort Lauderdale, FL)
This documentary is a greatly detailed account of the 1986 finding of the Titanic by Robert Ballard and his team.

There is a lot of great footage of the sunken ship as well as interactive menus with extras.

It goes into brief history of the ship and its tragic end. It is mostly about the 1986 exploration.
Buy it.
Enjoy

5 out of 5 stars This is what inspired me    February 10, 2008

I never knew anything about the Titanic until I watched this the very first time national geographic aired it. pictures of the past linked with images of today.I had this in my home video library and hade a homeade copy.I friend of mine wanted to borrow the tape I had it on because he was a gung ho top gun fan and the movie he wanted was on the same tape.some friend he never returned the tape and my beloved copy of this was gone forever.Now that I have it back on DVD its under lock and key.
I like the bonus feature the last hours of the Titanic as well which is on this disc. I have since belonged to the Titanic historical society for the last 15 years and it was all because of this video. if your a Titanic buff like me you should consider this a must buy purchase.



5 out of 5 stars Doesn't get much better than this    January 4, 2008
Paul Maynard
I remember watching this when it first aired many years ago on National Geographic. It doesn't disappoint now. When Ballard found the Titanic it was HUGE news, and seeing it in this documentary ... and also seeing first hand the effort that went into its discovery ... brings it all back. Must also say that Martin Sheen's narration was perfect.

This is definitely a keeper for the ages.
