Terrible
I found this awful....i kept thinking about the fantastic original film, i couldn't help it because the storyline was pretty much copied. The actors were very unconvincing and i didn't care what happened to them (unlike Shelly Winters in the original), the script was very basic throughout with one liners like 'there must be another way out' or 'quick the waters rising' all said without much conviction, i'm afraid i didn't feel for any of them at all. Very very poor re-make IMO, i wouldn't recommend it unless perhaps you hadn't seen the original.

The ship is sinking
This film is about a group of people who are trying to get out of a slowly sinking ship that got hit by a freak wave as in the trailer. But the best bit's in this film are in the trailer. I think this film is ok but its very closely bordering on boring and very predictable ending. As i have never seen the original film this remake is a 3 for the action.
