Oh What a Feeling...We're Dancing on the Ceiling!

Advantages: Great special effects
Disadvantages: Poor storyline, no empath for the characters

...yet!

'The Poseidon Adventure' may have possibly been my favourite movie when I was younger. From when I was about 7 I would sit in front of the TV with my mum and sister and sing along to 'There's Got to be a Morning After' and think thank goodness for the air pockets! I'd be amazed the at the Christmas Tree scene and feel as claustrophobic as they did when they got trapped in various situations.

Well, imagine my delight ...
...masterpieces.

Poseidon is directed by Wolfgang Peterson who also directed 'Das Boot', 'Troy' and 'The Perfect Storm', the latter two, to me, were dire. They are films I'd watch once and promptly forget or in the case of 'Troy' watch half then walk out of the cinema. I just hoped Poseidon would live up to its counterpart.

...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 ...

There's nothing fair about who lives and dies

Advantages: Amazing special effects, great action and brilliant cast
Disadvantages: A little too heart-attack-inducing

...some reason I don't think Poseidon has received the popularity it should have done. This is such a great action film. I wasn't planning on actually watching the film and when it began I thought I would just watch some of it but, before I knew it, the film was finishing and I hadn't moved from my seat as it was so gripping. It has a very similar storyline to Titanic, apart from the love story is missing, but Poseidon is much better with all the effects ...

Yawn!

Advantages: A couple of scenes with good tension.
Disadvantages: Hollywood turkey. C.G.I ride. Bland actors. Boring. Clichéd.

Poseidon was released sometime in May 2006 and was directed by Wolfgang Petersen, the same guy who directed The Perfect Storm (2000), Das Boot (1981) and most notably, the Never-ending Story (1984). It is the remake of the 1972 classic, The Poseidon Adventure. When the Americans are not busy spoiling foreign films by remaking them, such as Ringu (Hideo Nakata, 1998) for example, they release huge 150-160 million budget films, all sketched in the ...
...results in a turkey. Poseidon is one of those turkeys. It is not as bad as James Cameron's Titanic, but it comes close... The first thing that struck me was the blandness of Klaus Badelt's soundtrack. Here, we are far from a subtle Jerry Goldsmith suite or an incredible John Williams orchestration. Badelt manages to put the whole cinematic concept into music by simply overusing his heroic theme and, as a matter of fact, all his other themes. ...

That Sinking Feeling

Advantages: A big action sequence
Disadvantages: Zero character development, quite dull, cliched, all bang but no satisfaction

...of 70's disaster flick The Poseidon Adventure. With a titanic budget of over $150 million and a US gross of not even half that amount it's safe to say that this movie tanked and was left dead in the water floating away as a distant summer memory. Does the movie deserve such failure? Well to be honest it does. On New Years Eve, Poseidon, a luxury ocean liner is hosting a lavish party to see out the end of the year. Everyone's having a great time ...
...for big disaster movies but Poseidon is frankly an exercise in tedium. For a film like this to work you need to be invested in the characters. The original movie attempted this. At no point in the re-make do we get any interesting character development. At what point did someone actually read the script and say 'hang on we can't spend $160 million on this', the chances are that they never did, instead thinking that a lot of CGI and a load of water ...

Poseidon (2006) Directed by Wolfgang Peterson Music by Klaus Badelt Certificate 12 90 minutes run time ******************************************** The Thing About Me and Scary Movies... As some of you may know by now, I'm not big on the whole scary/fear factor type of film.

...type. Let me give you an example. Upon seeing Independance Day at the cinema with my younger brother, at one part (the bit where the dog nearly gets engulfed in a fireball) I actually shouted IN THE CINEMA "the dog! the dog! OH! THE DOG!" My brother has never been to the cinema with me since....! So, it was with trepidation that I sat down last night, a large cushion next to me incase I needed it, to watch Poseidon. My lovely man bought it yesterday ...

Reviews which might be of interest for "Poseidon (DVD)"

A Watered Down Disaster Movie

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

seems even more evident when you look at the fact that at just 94 minutes long, "Poseidon" is one of the shortest disaster movies I have watched. ►►► DVD Package ► Special Features Poseidon: A Ship on a Soundstage - This is a decent feature, a bit promotional in its style but has a bit more information than you would usually find in promotional features. Examples of which are the way they shot the opening sequence where Josh Lucas is seen jogging across the ships deck, where in real life this was done without a ship, but with the aid of computers. It is packed full of interviews and behind the scenes footage but where as it sheds some light on how "Poseidon" was made, it never goes into any great detail. Trailer - The original cinematic trailer for the films release, they definitely used the best bits ...

Hell, upside down

Advantages: Great cast; DVD and video are cheap to buy
Disadvantages: None!

were supposed to believe that a gang of looters have found the ship which hasn't quite sunk properly. This year, "Poseidon" will be out but it's not a direct re-make. The DVD of "The Poseidon Adventure" has the original trailer for the film as well as a "making of" featurette. I can highly recommend watching this movie. ...

Flipped Upside Down in a Race Against Time.

Advantages: Exciting Adventure, Disaster Movie.
Disadvantages: Not great Special Affects Very 70's!

Shelby played by Eric Shea both give admiral performances for such youngsters. The young brother and sister are heading to meet their mother and father and alone on the ship listen to the reverend for away to escape. Conclusion: If you are into classic films then I suggest you watch this, also it would be good to watch it if you are planning on watching the 2006 remake Poseidon so that you can compare. The Poseidon Adventure is available on DVD from Amazon for £10.99 or new and used from £8.75. ...
