Synopsis

It's New Year's Eve and the party is in full swing aboard a luxury cruise ship in the North Atlantic. Suddenly, a massive wave strikes the liner, pitching the ship to port then rolling it completely upside down and starting a desperate fight to survive, to escape the capsized and sinking Poseidon.

Passengers and crew are thrown into free fall, crushed by debris or dragged into the sea as water bursts in through shattered windows. Supports collapse, broken gas lines ignite flash fires and lights fail, leaving vast sections of the ship in darkness and chaos. In the aftermath, a few hundred survivors are left to huddle in the still-intact main ballroom, now resting below the waterline. Determined to fight their way to the surface, they must forge a path together through layers of wreckage as the ship begins to sink.

Well worth the 2006 Razzie nomination (Worst rip-off/remake), just a shame it didn't win.

poor remake
06 December 2008
A remake of The Poseidon adventure, Poseidon is a disaster movie centred around the struggle for survival on a luxury cruise ship. After the boat is overturned by a freak wave, a few determined people decide to climb to the ship's hull in a desperate attempt to find a way out of the flooding ship. But can they make it out in time? Well you'd think that with a story like that Poseidon would have action enough to entertain its audience. Sadly this is not the case. While Poseidon does deliver cheap thrills, overblown effects and some rather epic moments it doesn't look very likely that Poseidon will stand the test of time. The glamorous effects can't compensate for the lack of a good script or an emotional impact, and the cheesy acting. It entertains but in a mindless way, and beyond it looking as expensive as it cost, Poseidon doesn't have much left to offer…
