Watch Poseidon For Free

Don't listen to the negative reviews

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

The open ocean can be a dangerous place...ships can sink during their voyage...passengers have to fight for survival...these familiar, recycled themes run rampant in this shallow (no pun intended) disaster flick centering around a luxury ocean liner making a transatlantic crossing, until being capsized by a rogue wave. Like countless other films in this genre, a group of survivors must then band together to try and ensure their survival...some may make it, some may not, but considering how familiar it is you wonder why the film has to go on for as long as it does. Special effects galore, like you'd expect, but what you wouldn't expect is that there is no real sense of urgency, no sense of wonder or excitement, and no character to care about or root for. Director Wolfgang Petersen seems to be treading water (pun intended) because he already covered this ground-and better-in The Perfect Storm; a big, dull, and monotonous expedition that goes through the motions. **

Have you seen it? No? There is likely a very good reason for that...it stinks.Like nearly ALL the endless remakes and reboots that have been plaguing movie goers for the past decade or so....all this is, is a heartless version of the original.It has no heart.It has no soul.It is a retelling of a film that we all love and cherish...and it adds nothing to the story. It improves nothing but the special effects--which held up very well over time--and in some cases belittles the fans of the original...particularly in the fact that they remade the movie at all, without adding anything clever to it.Like so many other remakes it is a hallow shell of the original.

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.

First thing to note is the CGI, animation and stunts in this film are top notch ! I love these sort of films, which provide a simple story, set in one location, yet the ideas in it are gripping ! This was done very well and in a great time limit too, some of the ideas kinda felt very mainstream but some others really stood out in their own way (whether that's how a ship actually works logically, I can't say) but I would like to imagine it does ! This was a fun casual film to watch.... Nothing bad or amazing about it, it's simply a movie worth watching. The time that went into creating sets for this must have been a LONG time, as considering most of the film the ship is upside down, the attention to detail of the background and the physics to it all had to be 100%. Didn't spot a fault with it myself, that took some doing ! Worth the watch, go check it out, even though I did watch it the day my parents left for their first ever cruise !
