Celine Dion's overplayed song "My Heart Will Go On" used to bother me—that was until this Tuesday when I watched the re-release of James Cameron's unsinkable legend "Titanic." A hundred years after the ocean liner's doomed sailing, this behemoth token of human accomplishment has come back to conquer moviegoers once again in 3D and 3D IMAX screen versions.

It must have been a daunting task to re-master the motion picture into a 3D-enhanced version. But then again, James Cameron himself had gone through no lesser hardship when he created the 2D original. With an unprecedented budget of 200 million dollars and his obsession with technology and special effects, he fathered the world's biggest box office winner in history. This time, his obsession helps the world relive the magnificence of the dreamliner and the magnitude of its tragic fate. In some, though not most, parts of the movie, the 3D effects do appear authentic and impressive.

The movie offers more than just spectacle in that it appeals to a wide range of viewers. Those who cannot be satisfied by the fully developed love story may admire the spirit of the string quartet, or find themselves engrossed by the shocking scenes where the ship is devoured by the ruthless ocean. "Titanic" is able to arouse some universal feelings about a convincing romance and heartbreaking calamity.

For many, "Titanic 3D" will be an object of nostalgia. By watching the story again, they can recall their sentiments from previous screenings. As for the younger generation, including me, who missed the first impact, the 3D version is a chance to savor the classic in its full length. The secret of the film's charm isthat it does not pretend to be a movie of depth, although it activates your brain or perhaps your tear glands.

The wonderful writing is fulfilled by equally wonderful acting. It could be unfair to Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet, because they've stayed young and fledgling onscreen, while viewers have had 14 years to become more critical. Even so, I had no problem believing the sincerity of their love. So it is safe to say they presented more than just their pretty faces.

Chinese moviegoers have welcomed the re-formatted version. On Tuesday, the opening day of the movie's re-release, viewers here paid roughly 11.6 million dollars to see the lead actors' pretty faces. But getting aticket to see "Titanic 3D" is almost as difficult as buying a train ticket. The number of tickets sold for"Titanic 3D" on its opening day comes in just behind that of "Transformers Dark of the Moon" which enjoyedthe highest-grossing opening day ever in Chinese cinemas. It is still difficult to predict the market prospects for "Titanic 3D." The 2D classic boasts a repeat viewing rate of more than 20 percent. But the loftyprice of seeing it in 3D and 3D IMAX may be an obstacle for 3D sales to gain similar momentum.

On a scale from one to ten, I give "Titanic 3D" a nine.
