A remake of The Poseidon Adventure, based on the novel by Paul Gallico, it was distributed by Warner Bros. A Jumbo Pack of action, drama, and a little gore. This movie also implied on the important of survival when in a shipwreck. Though I think it ain helping. I mean after watching this movie, WHO WOULD WANNA BE ON A SHIP?

This movie plot around a shipwreck on new year's eve, when everybody was busy celebrating a festive occasion in a Ship named after the greek god, poseidon, who was also the god of seas, as quoted by Andre Braugher playing the captain of the ship, who's in love with in the movie. A freak wave which was unexpected, overturned the ship and caused a large masscre and panic in the crew. Josh Lucas, who plays a career gambler Dylan Johns was an important character in the movie, with Robert, a desperate father/ex-mayor of new york, looking for his daughter(Kurt Russell). They ignored the captain's orders of waiting for rescue and set off for escape, bringing along a single mother, Maggie (Jacinda Barrett), her son, Conor(Jimmy Bennett) and Nelson who is a old man knowing archeology, whom also knew that Poseidon wasn't meant to float when overturned.

Along the way, they met up with Robert's daughter, Jennifer (Emmy Rossum) with her fiancé Christian (Mike Vogel), Elena (Mía Maestro) who was a stowaway, can't afford a ride to new york thus explaining the boarding on Poseidon.

The wreckage as protrayed in the movie included fiery flames and floating corpses on the surface of chafty waters which were gushing into the ship. They lost some along the way, and have to face certain dangerous routines which put their lives in danger. But it's better than the surviving crew who stayed back in the hall of the orders of the captain, which was drowned when a crack in the glass caused waters to fill the whole ship under pressure. Everyone helped in order to survive. The whole movie was seen action-packed, dramatic, climax and also a little gore. It really do brings about a new touch of opinion of surviving in a shipwreck.

I would rate the movie 4 and a half out of 5 stars. It certainly left me trembling throughout the movie. The turnouts were quite expected, which only losing Jennifer and Robert whom sacrifices themselves in order to save the survivors. A must-see and not to be missed.
