Critics Consensus

This remake of The Poseidon Adventure delivers dazzling special effects. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem that any of the budget was left over to devote to the script.

The movie is just what you'd expect: skimpy, almost laughable characterizations surrounded by claustrophobically suspenseful action sequences.

It swims but it's one of those sloppy dog paddles your kid brother does more than an Olympic freestyle.

Time Out

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

1.5/4

Foregoing the blood, sweat, and characters that made the original Adventure come to life, this one's all about running cardboard cutouts through the CGI paces.

C-

The cast isn’t bad, except for an a one-note Kevin Dillon, they’re just unable to make lemonade out of the paltry lemons the screenplay gives them. The one stand-out is Mike Vogel, who lights up the screen and turns a nothing role into something meaty.

2.5/5

Poseidon makes for a rather disappointing attempt to remake a disaster classic, one that makes the unfortunate mistake of emphasizing special effects over character & story development.

I remember coming across this remake several years ago or so, and I came with high expectations because of its astounding effects and its source material. This remake suffers from a terrible script with characters that have no emotional bearing due to the lack of character development, and a weirdly impossible amount of explosions that seem to steal the spotlight instead of highlighting anything important. Lucky Larry was pretty funny though. I guess if you just want some disaster and firey action, then you might find a liking to this movie. I can't recommend this movie to anyone looking for anything else.

Its a popcorn flick. Its a survival film akin to titanic without the romance bs. And redhead stepchild to disaster movies.

Filme: Poseidon Assistido: 27-10-25 Elenco: @official._.kurtrussell @emmy @richarddreyfussofficial @joshlucas @fergie @realmikevogel @kevindillonofficial @jimmymbennett @miamaestro @jacindabarrett Modelo: #catastrofe #suspense Duração: 1h 39m Ano: 2006 Minha opinião: filmes Catástrofe; 2012, Daylight, O Dia Depois de Amanhã, A Onda, Impacto Profundo, Inferno na Torre, Titanic e O Destino de Poseidon. este filme assiti umas 3 X. temos Kurt Russell, Dreyfuss, Lucas. Um filme inspirado em fato real, que o navio Queen Mary quase virou de cabeça para baixo. Lembra também o caso de Titanic. MAs as cenas no interior do navio, lembra mais o filme Inferno na Torre. O navio vira de cabeça para baixo, depois de ser atingido por uma onda gigante. A maioria dos passageiros estão no salão de festa jantar do navio. Mas um grupo liderado por Dylan (Lucas) e Robert (Russell)começam buscar a sala das hélices do navio. Com boas cenas que te deixa tenso, bons efeitos e CGI e atuações dos atores. É claro que nesta jornada, vidas vão se perdendo, sobrando alguns. Quem serão? Quem se sacrifica pelo grupo? quem é deixado? Vale apena assistir?: O filme não da para se comparar com Titanic, fica aquém. Mas o filme não é ruim. Nota: 8
