Five Reasons To See 'Titanic' In 3-D

[NelsonG]

The re-release of "[url="http://www.mtv.com/movies/movie/115762/moviemain.jhtml"]Titanic[/url]" in 3-D allows a whole new generation to experience the film. [url="http://www.mtv.com/movies/person/166088/personmain.jhtml"]Kate Winslet[/url] even told MTV News that with the movie back in theaters, her children will see it for the very first time. But what about us veterans?



We know the story, we know the characters and no matter how many times we will it, the ending never changes. The ship still sinks, Rose still doesn't try to make room for Jack on that driftwood and Jack still dies in the end. We own it on VHS, DVD and now Blu-ray, not to mention all the times we saw it in theaters when it first came out. So, why trek all the way to a theater and shell out even more money to see it again? Well, we can give you five reasons while we'll be in the theater this weekend sailing away with Jack and Rose on the same doomed voyage.



[b]The Iceberg[/b]
The iconic scene starts with Jack and Rose giddy and laughing on the deck of the ship. The laughter abruptly fades as the crew steering the massive boat can't clear the iceberg fast enough, and thus begins the tragic second half of the movie. The motion picture took our breath away on the big screen in the '90's and we can only imagine how it will look in three dimensions today.

Alright, we know this is more of a [url="http://hollywoodcrush.mtv.com"]Hollywood Crush[/url] bullet point, but it has to be said for the ladies out there. As dashing as DiCaprio is now, we will never stop loving the 22-year-old Leo who stole our hearts with his cute, baby face and swooping blond locks. He's just so damn charming. One look and we melt. And for all you guys out there, you know, Winslet looks good, too.

[b]The Sets[/b]
The grandeur of the SMS Titanic is not glanced over in the film. With towering staircases and intricate molding, the filmmakers spared no expense when bringing the ship to life. The 3-D effects will only make the details more stunning and that's worth every penny.

[b]The Waves (of Horror)[/b]
Remember that feeling in the pit of your stomach when the wave of water burst through the doors and threatened to drown Jack and Rose? We can imagine it will make us feel scared for their lives when we feel like the wave is about to wash over [i]us[/i]. We can already hear ourselves screaming "Run, Jack. Run!" as we shield our faces for the watery embrace. It will never come, of course, but haven't you already noticed we're a little bit dramatic?

[b]The Nostalgia[/b]
Even though we own it on every conceivable movie watching device out there, "Titanic" got pushed to the wayside with films like "[url="http://www.mtv.com/movies/movie/360557/moviemain.jhtml"]Thor[/url]," "[url="http://www.mtv.com/movies/movie/419756/moviemain.jhtml"]Inception[/url]" and "[url="http://www.mtv.com/movies/movie/306605/moviemain.jhtml"]The Dark Knight[/url]" filling our screen on Saturday nights in. Instead of digging through our large collection of movies, it's worth it to grab a few friends and head out to the theater. For old time's sake. Yeah, we're a bunch of saps.
