The Poseidon Adventure

As the luxury liner Poseidon slices through the waters of an ocean storm, a radical terrorist group is preparing to send a bloody message to Western politicians. Shortly after the 2,500 passengers and crew have celebrated New Year, a huge blast rips through the hull, sending freezing waters rushing through the lower decks and capsizing the mammoth vessel.

Trapped in the ballroom with the water level rising fast, a small group of passengers led by Homeland Security Officer Mike Rogo (Adam Baldwin, Full Metal Jacket) and the ship’s priest (Rutger Hauer, Blade Runner) must make a break for the surface, braving the twisted inferno of the wreckage or risk being lost to the ocean floor forever.

    Get the right Poseidon

    Make sure you get the right Poseidon Adventure disc! (There are three Poseidons, all similar plot)

    This 2005 remake of the 1972 classic is a dud. A midweek afternoon TV movie, really. Disc ended halfway through, not sure if you need a 2nd one, I couldn't be arsed anyway.

    Haven't seen Poseidon the 2006(07?) remake but the 1972 original is a disaster-movie classic, even if a bit corny now. Gene Hackman, Shelley Winters, Ernest Borgnine, all Hollywood greats.

    crummy disaster movie

    Terrible film, awful thought it had finished badly after first film then realised we had to plough through as much again to have poor predictible ending, preferred the original equally bad.
