MoPoshy Absolutely brilliant

Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

generationofswine Have you seen it? No? There is likely a very good reason for that...it stinks.Like nearly ALL the endless remakes and reboots that have been plaguing movie goers for the past decade or so....all this is, is a heartless version of the original.It has no heart.It has no soul.It is a retelling of a film that we all love and cherish...and it adds nothing to the story. It improves nothing but the special effects--which held up very well over time--and in some cases belittles the fans of the original...particularly in the fact that they remade the movie at all, without adding anything clever to it.Like so many other remakes it is a hallow shell of the original.

TxMike I saw the 1972 movie a long time ago, I don't remember much about it at all. I had skipped this movie when it came out 9 years ago, I don't recall exactly why, but last week I found the BluRay on the shelves at my public library and brought it home.As the director explains in the extras, they had no desire to re- make the older movie, this one is based on the same source novel but takes its own path with different situations and featuring different types of characters.The Poseidon is a new ship, large and very well fitted, sailing across the Atlantic on New Year's Eve. There is a big party in the large main ballroom. There's gambling, there's music, everyone is having a grand time.Then we see the crew on the bridge, they spot something ominous, a very large rogue wave headed to hit it sideways. They quickly try to steer to a 90 degree position, to hit the wave head-on in the hopes of surviving, but that big ship doesn't turn very easily. The wave hits mostly broadside and overturns.The initial capsizing kills or injures very many on the ship but a small band of 8 or 10, including a young boy, look for a way out by going up, to the bottom of the hull.Josh Lucas is Dylan Johns who had been in the Navy and knew something of ships, and he takes the lead role in finding a way out. Kurt Russell is Robert Ramsey, a former Mayor of New York, he has his daughter and his boyfriend along on the trip. Jacinda Barrett is Maggie James, Richard Dreyfuss is Richard Nelson, Emmy Rossum is the daughter, Jennifer Ramsey. Mía Maestro is stowaway Elena Morales. Mike Vogel is Christian, the boyfriend. And Kevin Dillon (Matt's brother) is gambler and wise guy Lucky Larry, who turns out to not be so lucky.The movie is just disaster entertainment. The BluRay picture and sound are first-rate, many of the collisions and explosions gave our subwoofer a good workout. Even though it is of course all fiction it still has many tense moments. Not all survive.We were entertained for its approximate 90 minutes running time.SPOILERS - THE ENDING: They managed with much difficulty to get to the hull in the stern and open a large shaft for driving some of the propellers. Mr Ramsey perished in the process, drowning when he went to find the propeller switch. When the survivors emerged then jumped into the ocean before the ship rolled over and sank, found a raft, then we see two rescue helicopters with spotlights on the raft, and a boat headed for them.

denis888 What do you need to make a truly bad movie? Well, first, a great cast - Josh Lucas as Dylan Johns Kurt Russell as Robert Ramsey Emmy Rossum as Jennifer Ramsey Mike Vogel as Christian Sanders Jacinda Barrett as Maggie James Richard Dreyfuss as Richard Nelson Mía Maestro as Elena Morales Jimmy Bennett as Connor James Kevin Dillon as Lucky Larry Freddy Rodriguez as Marco Valentin Andre Braugher as Captain Michael Bradford Stacy Ferguson as Gloria Kirk B. R. Woller as Chief Officer Reynolds Gabriel Jarret as First Officer Chapman Then, make it a remake - and this is the main problem, probably. Remakes are often a disaster, here it is a bad try, too. Only the very moment of a catastrophe is worth watching, but then neither Kurt Russell, not Jacinda Barrett can save this sad, slow, plodding steamroller of a bad film. You can watch it, yeah, but then this is all you can do.

sgholbrook First thing to note is the CGI, animation and stunts in this film are top notch ! I love these sort of films, which provide a simple story, set in one location, yet the ideas in it are gripping ! This was done very well and in a great time limit too, some of the ideas kinda felt very mainstream but some others really stood out in their own way (whether that's how a ship actually works logically, I can't say) but I would like to imagine it does ! This was a fun casual film to watch.... Nothing bad or amazing about it, it's simply a movie worth watching. The time that went into creating sets for this must have been a LONG time, as considering most of the film the ship is upside down, the attention to detail of the background and the physics to it all had to be 100%. Didn't spot a fault with it myself, that took some doing ! Worth the watch, go check it out, even though I did watch it the day my parents left for their first ever cruise !
