magnificent Titanic is the closest any of us will get to walking the decks of the doomed ocean liner.

In each

and Angelina Jolie. Using “performance capture technology”, the movie uses digitally enhanced live action to make a world that looked animated. The movie stays faithful to the old story with the characters and events, but there are many differences that separate the film from the book.
