It was directed by one of the greatest directors of all time, James Cameron.
After its release in 1997, it was the highest-grossing movie ever, earning a whopping $1.8-billion during its original theatrical run and an additional $2.2-billion through rereleases.
It also held the record for 12 years until it was surpassed by Cameron's own 'Avatar', but it still remains one of the highest-grossing movies of all time.

However, it is also a movie that is not without controversy.

Now there is another interesting part of the movie that very few people have ever seemed to notice until someone pointed it out recently.
A TikTok creator, @_readbetweenthelines, has posted a video in which he shows viewers the awkward CGI (computer-generated imagery) used in one specific scene.
In the video, he is filming a part of the movie that shows Jack (Leonardo DiCaprio) and his friend running to the front of the ship. This is near the beginning of the film.
As the ship sets off the camera pans across the decks and shows people walking, except that you can clearly see that these are not real people.

Given the movie's release date, they can be slightly forgiven since the technology has come a long way since then, but the dinosaurs of 'Jurassic Park' in 1993 were quite impressive.
Commenters on the video did agree that the CGI was lacking but that it was a product of its time and that the filmmakers did a good job at the time.
