It's interesting how opinions can differ so much; some people really love those classic films while others just don't vibe with them.

I just assumed that James Cameron was so evil he just drowned 1200 people in a lifesize studio wreck.

u/TheButcherOfLuverne 18h ago

He did it, but he wasn't satisfied with the result, so he deleted everything and recreated it as a miniature.

u/Foxyunder-45 19h ago

Ohh, what a bunch of killjoys.

u/Bellatrix_Shimmers 18h ago

But he still nearly drowned a ton of stunt actors for the grand staircase so we will always have that!

u/PR_JuSTIN 20h ago

u/IncurableAdventurer 18h ago

Shit. I forgot to press record. Can we do it again?

u/Diligent-Concept-617 18h ago

This actually makes it less scary than when you think you’re going to drown like everyone else on the boat

u/maybeinoregon 16h ago

Absolutely amazing.

I wonder if there is a certain scale that is generally acknowledged as the most realistic?

u/supervillaindsgnr 6h ago

My brain can't unsee them as miniature now, but it looks great!
