It is New Year's Eve, and over 2,000 passengers & crew are ringing in the New Year aboard the huge cruise ship 'Poseidon' on the open sea. At midnight, without warning, a huge wave hundreds of feet high - a rogue wave - slams into the Poseidon and rolls it upside down. Most of the passengers & crew are killed outright, but several hundred remain alive in the ballroom, where the party was being held. Realizing their only hope of rescue lies at the surface of the water - where the ship's hull is now - a handful of survivors, led by Dylan (Lucas) and Robert (Russell) start to make their way past falling debris, flash fires, and the ever-present threat of flooding - to the ship's propeller shafts. Will they succeed - or will they join the hundreds left behind who perished as the ballroom's windows gave way under the water pressure & drowned? |

| Unnecessary re-make of the 1972 (sort of) classic features some of the best work ever incorporating digital effects and live action but has little else to commend it. The opening shot is remarkable but it's all pretty much downhill from there. This version of the story of a small (and painfully artificially diverse) band trying to survive the capsize of an ocean liner makes for yet another sad comparison of seventies versus contemporary film-making. Today (once again) technological virtuosity has to stand in for the most basic story-telling not to mention an almost complete disregard for the basic rules of nature. The actors look abandoned and lost in the face of the effects. Dreyfus seems vaguely embarrassed and Josh Lucas offers a characterization that belongs more in a James Bond film. The original was full of clichés and cardboard characters too but the largely old-school cast (Stella Stevens, Ernest Borgnine, Shelley Winters et al) knew how to carry it off. The new ensemble hasn't a clue. Director Wolfgang Petersen's career has been wildly erratic. Perhaps it was hoped that sending him back to sea would return him to the glories of "Das Boot". Instead what we get is better than "Enemy Mine" but not much. |
