Normally, I am not overly keen on the abundance of re-makes that seem to be spewed out of Hollywood in the past many years.However, this re-make was actually one of the better re-makes to make it out of Hollywood. "Poseidon" has great special effects, which really help to bring the movie to life on the screen. And the movie started out in a great speed almost from the very beginning. It has a rather intense storyline, which keeps going at a good pace throughout the entire movie. There is a good pace to the storyline and it doesn't become dull or boring at any time.It had a good cast ensemble, with lots of familiar faces. Some people had small roles and were hardly utilized enough, and that was a shame.This 2006 re-make did, however, suffer from having a rather predictable script and storyline. So there were little twists and surprises along the way. But still, it was quite an entertaining movie.

What is lost by the lack of heartfelt character drama and quandry of the original 1972 film ("What would you do? Stay put, or escape?") is nearly compensated by bigger and better set piece action thrills in this entertaining remake. Kurt Russell is well cast and there is good support from the likes of Richard Dreyfuss.

The greatest favour Wolfgang Petersen could do for himself would be to have his name expunged from this dorky film. It is truly a flop. You'd expect special effects to exceed in 2006, but even that aspect of the movie stinks. Hard to believe that the director Wolfgang Petersen is the same fellow who was responsible for the magnificent Das Boot. ALL the actors were bloody terrible; not one of them convinced me s/he was a real person --- all were cardboard cutouts. One of THE worst movies of the first decade of the 21st century. FAIL FAIL FAIL

What do you need to make a truly bad movie? Well, first, a great cast - Josh Lucas as Dylan Johns Kurt Russell as Robert Ramsey Emmy Rossum as Jennifer Ramsey Mike Vogel as Christian Sanders Jacinda Barrett as Maggie James Richard Dreyfuss as Richard Nelson Mía Maestro as Elena Morales Jimmy Bennett as Connor James Kevin Dillon as Lucky Larry Freddy Rodriguez as Marco Valentin Andre Braugher as Captain Michael Bradford Stacy Ferguson as Gloria Kirk B. R. Woller as Chief Officer Reynolds Gabriel Jarret as First Officer Chapman Then, make it a remake - and this is the main problem, probably. Remakes are often a disaster, here it is a bad try, too. Only the very moment of a catastrophe is worth watching, but then neither Kurt Russell, not Jacinda Barrett can save this sad, slow, plodding steamroller of a bad film. You can watch it, yeah, but then this is all you can do.
