Movie synopsis
This impressive, old-fashioned made-for-TV disaster movie, like the original, takes place on an enormous and doomed luxury liner, where thousands have gathered to celebrate New Year's Eve. When a terrorist bomb explodes on board, the survivors are forced to fight for their lives to escape the upside-down sinking ship--including the terrorist himself. The action-packed drama boasts a capable cast, including Adam Baldwin, Steve Guttenberg, Rutger Hauer, and C. Thomas Howell.

) Ugh. Relies on the stars, leaves out the real characters.
Special effects galore, and they're pretty good. Great sounding audio. Nice use of camera and lighting, for sure. Great lineup of actors.
There the complements end.
If you were told to write an obvious plot twist to the original movie to fit today, as hokey and predictable as you can conceive of, what would you do?
Terrorists?
Yeah.
And poor ones at that.
And... FRENCH ones???
sigh
Then you have to suspend reality and physics to believe in the method they use as well. Talk about elementary physics being completely ignored...good grief. Are people really this gullible? They try to make the movie as real and tense as possible, but it all swings on an impossibility that refutes the basic tenant that even grade school children know - that for every action, there is an opposite and equal reaction. Not for these special French terrorists who seem to have no religious or personal reason for any animosity at all anyway.
The twisting of the character names/situations is interesting, such as using Rogo as the 'sea marshal' character hunting the terrorists instead of a vacationing cop. Yeah, formulas used from credits to credits.
If you've never seen the original, I'd guess this would be a good movie. If you can look past the obvious problems and obvious upcoming 'twists' to enjoy them. I couldn't.
The actors tried, they really did, and even did a good job more often than not, but they couldn't polish what won't shine.

I thought this was going to be the Original classic Poseidon Adventure from the 1970's. It's not! I watched it once, now it sits in my storage unit waiting for the day when someone I know buys a Blu Ray player but has nothing to play or test it with. Then I'll offer this worthless version of the Poseidon Adventure.

) Received my Poseidon Adventure and can't wait to watch this movie. I love this movie and now on Blue-Ray it should be even better. Thanks-Again,

While the movie had it's highlights it does not compare at all to the original. Sometimes there is no need to mess with a proven formula or something that has worked for many many years. The acting was not that great but overall the movie is entertaining on a rainy day when your stuck indoors.
