Review of Poseidon DVD by wendybull

Advantages: Great action scenes
Disadvantages: None

...doesn't know the tale of Poseidon or The Poseidon Adventure, from 1972, the premise of the story is on New Year's Eve a huge tidal wave knocks over a massive cruise ship and it rolls right round so it is upside down on a tilt in the middle of the ocean. Hundreds lose their lives immediately with the flooding and fires that encompass most of the ship but a large group of revellers on two different floors of the ship survive…but for how long? For ...
...look with apparent ease. Poseidon does also include one of my favourite actors, Kurt Russell. Kurt plays the part of Robert Ramsey, a father to the newly engaged Jennifer and being an ex-fire-fighter is obviously up for the job pretty well. Kurt Russell is getting on a bit now and he doesn't quite come across as the action hero as well as he used to, only to be expected of course. And in my opinion the director has not asked too much of him. The ... Read review

A good action lost between more well know films
Review of Poseidon DVD by peteandcesca

Advantages: action, characters and good special effects
Disadvantages: none that i can think of

I watched this film recently without hoping for much as i knew it had been released the previous year and had never got round to watching it as it wasn't one that i thought would be up to much! I wish i had watched it sooner now as i thought the film was of high qualit with a good mix of special effects, actors and action. The film starts off with the main characters shown to be aboard this luxury liner and spending the evening partying to celebrate ...
...the charcaters that we learn about as such, as it's not really needed but, we do learn a little about them and their story is based on the cruise liner, which is named poseidon, being hit by a freak wave called a 'rogue wave' and how they survive it. Most of the passengers are in the ships main ballroom or disco at the time and the story follows the survival of 9 of the passengers. The main character who is played by actor Josh Lucas in the character ... Read review

Poseidon - Instant Classic or 99p Give-Away
Review of Poseidon DVD by JuniorBrown93

Advantages: A remake of the 1972 classic. Wasnt a huge hit with the box office but was a classic for me.
Disadvantages: None

The original Poseidon was released in 1972 and was a huge hit. The 2006 remake was as you could probaly guess filled with better special effects. Hundreds of passengers are on a huge cruise liner for New Year when a huge wave bigger than the boat smashes into the ships side and tips it up-side down. Hundreds of passengers who were inside when the wave struck survive, but are stuck under the water upside down. A small group of passengers are led by ... Read review

Review: Poseiden's action sequences are efficiently handled, conjuring a genuine sense of lung-busting tension (Sight & Sound, 08/08/2006)

DVD Description

German-born director Wolfgang Petersen (DAS BOOT, THE PERFECT STORM) returns to the sea for POSEIDON, a gripping remake of Ronald Neame and Irwin Allen's 1972 disaster classic, THE POSEIDON ADVENTURE. As passengers celebrate New Year's Eve aboard the massive ship Poseidon, a rogue wave devastates the luxury liner, turning it upside down as windows smash, fires break out, electric wires dangle dangerously, and people try to run for their lives--with seemingly nowhere to go. Despite Captain Bradford's (Andre Braugher) pleas for people to remain calm in the ballroom, a small group of people go against his orders and attempt to make their own way to the bottom of the ship, which is now the only section above water. Led by a low-rent gambler named Dylan (Josh Lucas) and the onetime mayor of New York City, Ramsey (Kurt Russell), and including a suicidal architect (Richard Dreyfuss), the former mayor's daughter (Emmy Rossum ) and her fiance (Mike Vogel), a stowaway (Mia Maestro), and a single mother (Jacinda Barrett) and her young son (Jimmy Bennett), they band together as they battle the elements, fight to save their lives, and learn something about themselves along the way. Although the special effects are cutting-edge, starting with the long, complex opening shot, Petersen makes sure to instill humanity into the characters, letting the film be driven by the story, not just the mechanics. To ensure the integrity of the project, one of the executive producers is Sheila Allen, who was married to disaster master Irwin Allen (producer of such films as THE TOWERING INFERNO, VOYAGE TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA, and THE SWARM) until his death in 1991, and played Gina Rowe in THE POSEIDON ADVENTURE (under her maiden name, Sheila Mathews). Fans of the Black Eyed Peas will get a kick out of Fergie as Gloria, the ballroom singer.
