Poseidon plot

"Mayday"

On the gigantic luxury cruise ship Poseidon that sails across the North Atlantic Ocean, a beautiful party has started to ring in the new year. But while the champagne glasses are being raised in the ballroom, the alarm goes off on the officer's bridge. A huge tidal wave of up to thirty meters high rushes at the ship at lightning speed and can no longer be avoided.

The film doesn't get any depth, partly because of the flat characters.

But great SFX, and still great that they can keep the tension in it for so long.

A cringe-inducing ending, that's for sure.

Tight enough *3.0

“I wouldn't put a lot of faith on what the captain says. I'm an architect, and these boats weren't designed to float upside down.”

Great disaster movie on a cruise ship. The special effects look good and director Pedersen is an experienced hand in the business. The acting is, especially for this kind of film, more than decent. Certainly Russell, Rossum and Dreyfuss are doing well. I like to take for granted that the story is predictable, and you know exactly who will die and when. Poseidon wants to entertain the viewer, and the film certainly succeeds in that.

Today I re-watched again, this time on a nice Blu-ray disc with clear images and good sound, last week I re-watched the movie ''Deep Rising'' and this time Poseidon.

These movies are quite similar except for Deep Rising with a sea monster.

Poseidon is a very entertaining film, the disaster starts pretty soon (during New Year's Eve) and many people do not survive this, a small group of people (the protagonists) think they can find a way out and end up in all kinds of corridors and tubes .

Very exciting and also a surprising film.

Tension and sensation from beginning to end, impressive how a group of people find a way out.

Experience it again and again with this spectacular film!

5 stars!

ps. Do you like this kind of movies? Also watch: Speed 2, Titanic, Titanic 2, Ghostship, Virus and Deep Rising.
