Top Critics' Reviews
Rotten: 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.
Rotten: Poseidon's not so purely realized or ultra-intense that it can get by without revving its emotional engines, and its problems start early.
Rotten: While the ship's survivors are driven to live, Poseidon is never character-driven enough to make us care.
Rotten: 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.
Customer Reviews
good movie
i have a thing for movies about ship recks, my favorite movie is titanic and this is a close second, just don't watch it if you plan to go on a cruise any time soon. big mistake, i saw it 2 weeks before i went on a cruise and every twenty minutes i was on the deck looking for huge waves and asking about the water tempature.
Poseidon!!!!!!
Better than titanic!!
Awesome!
I love this movie! I think its way better than the 1972 version. A must buy!
