Poseidon
In an exciting story about that lining Poseidon, which was split and drowned by a powerful wave. After a short while, all the people were trapped under the water line and summoned by the captain to stay in their place until the rescue team arrived. Everyone began struggling to maintain their calm as water began to rush into the ship and flames were burning all over the place. The ship began to sink in certain uncertainties in total darkness, as the survivors try to fight for their lives and may try to escape the most horrific situation in their lives.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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