Poseidon
Poseidon is the lining that has been divided and has been subjected to severe drowning in the ocean. The waves began to attack the ship, and everyone began to be dazed by the situation when they were trapped under the water line and summoned by the captain to stay in their place until the rescue team arrived. Every person may struggle and try to keep his coolness, but the water begins to rush into the ship and the flames are burning all over the ship. It seems to be over, as the ship began to sink because of the fire and extinguish the electricity to total darkness. Survivors try to enter into a fight for their lives and escape death, which may be at any time.

A handful of the passengers may eventually get out of the ship alive, but nothing, it seems, can save them from Mark Protosevich's sinking script. At least it looks good as it goes down.

Poseidon betrays a studio mindset that can only hasten the current erosion of movie attendance -- skimping on human content while betting heedlessly on boom boom boom and gurgle gurgle gurgle.

There's never any doubt that some of these uninteresting people will make the passage through hell to the hull, it's only a question of which ones. And whether we'll still be there to see whom.

Where the original had the distinct flavor of 1970s kitsch ... Petersen's movie has loads of CGI and a cameo appearance from Black Eyed Peas front woman Fergie.

If you liked the original movie, you might like this remake as well.

Petersen's expert direction ensures it remains gripping, keeping the tension ratcheted right up and commendably steering it all home within 100 minutes.

As a humanist, I applaud the respect for life, but I miss the campy fun. The movie is, in all senses, a big downer.

It's a carnival ride, with shocks, endless stunts, and when you're done, you've forgotten it and moved on to something better.

Throughout the movie, Petersen has a dynamic feel for the rush and heave of the deluge, the pent-up energy, the sheer heft and momentum.

... a waterlogged, unnecessary re-imagining of the cheesy blockbuster from the Seventies heyday of disaster films.
