Review of Poseidon (DVD)

Probably most impressive movie about Troy war

Advantages: Very impressive movie, strong leading actors.
Disadvantages: The plot is very well known, so you probably won't be surprised

So the problem is that many people before seing this movie already knows main details of it's plot, and how the movie is going to end. Anyway, even if you know the story, this movie is very impressive, entertaining and worth to watch it. ...

A Watered Down Disaster Movie

Advantages: Entertaining, some decent special effects
Disadvantages: Overly predictable and very cliche

►►► Synopsis It's New Years Eve on the Poseidon, a luxury ocean liner, and as the celebrations in the ships ballroom get under way to welcome the New Year in, it looks like everyone is going to have a good time. That is until a gigantic rogue wave engulfs the Poseidon, causing it to capsize in scenes of utter disarray and carnage. As the ships captain tries to reassure the remaining survivors that if they remain calm and stay in ...
...a few hours, a small group decide that they would be better of trying to find their own way out. ►►► Opinion When the remake of "Poseidon" hit the big screens in 2006 I somehow managed to miss the boat and it disappeared before I had chance to see it. So when I got a chance to recently watch this I could not wait, especially as I am a huge fan of the disaster movie genre. Although it was entertaining I have to say I finished watching ...
