With the film's many cliches it runs pretty quick with almost no character display just stunts you cant really be entertained or believe whats actually happening. Sure its an enormous blockbuster but its go no heart just a basic thrill ride... Full review

Poseidon (like its predecessor, The Poseidon Adventure) is a disaster movie in which characters define themselves simply by their actions and interactions.
Superb technically with no cost spared on the special effects, Poseidon floats on its budget and mostly satisfies

Poseidon (like its predecessor, The Poseidon Adventure) is a disaster movie in which characters define themselves simply by their actions and interactions.
Tension begins to build fairly early and never lets up: Wolfgang Petersen's direction is focused and the production designers have created a searingly realistic hellhole of the upside down Poseidon, with flash fires, explosive water and crushing cascades of broken stuff.

And the winner is "Poseidon".
I grant you that a disaster film will not let anyone shine as an actor, but I don't care.
There was some great visual effects, and stunt work was super.

The upgrades in FX go a long way; what's missing is the character and the camp (bad dialogue and cheesy melodrama) that buoyed the original.
2.5 Stars Wolfgang Petersen gets his feet wet again ( Das Boot , The Perfect Storm ) with this remake of the 1972 disaster flick The Poseidon Adventure .
