I just want to say that as much as I like "The Poseidon Adventure" of the 1970's, this remake is due for a huge failure based solely on how desparately they are trying to promote it. And that's too bad.

um we all saw titanic like 8 years ago

5/10/2006 9:20:54 PM

Fergie's in it...at least now she can have a valid excuse for being wet...

5/10/2006 9:24:58 PM

all i can say is the movie is directed by Wolfgang Petersen.

That's enough for me to check it out. Aside from being German Wolfgang also brought us a lot of good shit.

Das Boot, In the Line of Fire, Outbreak, Air Force One, The Perfect Storm, Troy, and he is working on Ender's Game.

^ Hey, preaching to the choir. Just saying--it's NOT selling itself.

5/10/2006 9:51:01 PM

I have a love/hate relationship with him, but mainly just due to the buildup of hate I have for Troy.

Das Boot was great, though.

getting shitty reviews

5/11/2006 12:07:35 AM

This movie looks terrible. Like, I'm talking worse then Stick It bad.

5/11/2006 12:40:40 AM

at least stick it has hot chicks in it

5/11/2006 12:43:04 AM

Does Hollywood plan on coming out with a non sequel/remake any time in the next decade? Cause I might want to see a movie like that.

5/11/2006 7:46:17 AM

anybody else watching this movie tonight (thursday)? A lot of theaters are having 10pm showings.

5/11/2006 10:11:59 AM

Disaster movies (natural or otherwise) are really tiring.

5/11/2006 10:23:52 AM

They're showing The Poseidon Adventure on AMC tonight at 8, by the way.

5/11/2006 6:18:58 PM

What is that, like, a prequel or something?

5/11/2006 6:24:52 PM

OMG, like totally.

5/11/2006 6:50:04 PM

If Jake Lloyd's in it, I'm down.

5/11/2006 7:36:27 PM

No one who kills Agamemnon and Menelaus can be easily forgiven.

5/12/2006 12:53:26 AM

Seriously. I remember watching this short little thing about how invested they were in reading The Aeneid to make the script, etc. They apparently never even read it or The Odyssey.

5/12/2006 1:17:44 AM

I just got back from it. Pretty good. Dollar-Fiddy the hell out of this when it hits Blue Ridge.

5/12/2006 1:20:56 AM

i think the special effects and cheesy laughs gets this movie atleast a matinee price ticket if you aint got shit better to watch

5/12/2006 3:17:16 AM

^^^yeah, my kids were pretty confused when we read The Odyssey bc they had seen Troy and they would argue with me about details. stupid kids.

5/12/2006 7:35:31 AM

What's funny is that, in sequel-crazy Hollywood, it's inevitable that they make The Odyssey. How will Petersen explain their mysterious resurrection???

5/12/2006 9:12:14 AM

so does anyone actually get out of the boat alive in this movie?

"Poseidon…God of the See this movie. This was surprisingly good. Josh Lucas is now my hero and God does answer prayer (that is in regards to Fergie). There isn’t too much I want to say about this movie…it’s exciting (or funny) and has a lot of Final Destination-esque scenes in it. There are actually some pretty gory deaths and it was pretty fun to watch. But again, Fergie, Fergie, Fergie. I was waiting for her to sing about her humps, her humps, her lovely lady lumps. Instead, she pretended to be a real singer (like Pinocchio pretending to be a real boy). This movie is def. worth watching in my opinion though. It’s one of those that if you don’t like it…you’ll find plenty of laughable parts in it. Go check it out…it’s much better than Titanic. "

Chris likes this movie a lot more than I did, but i still thought it was pretty damn entertaining

5/12/2006 8:12:25 PM

awful really, Plot-Holes are us and some shitty shitty shitty CG in more than a few places

and don't even get me started on the kid.

Also take note of the blatent PSP and mountain dew product placement.

5/13/2006 12:05:40 AM

did i read somewhere this movie cost 200 million to make???

5/13/2006 2:17:57 AM

It's possible, although I'd imagine what you read was wrong.

5/13/2006 2:19:12 AM

ok I did some research and its estimated to have cost 150-200 million dollars. Though most places said it was around 165 million.
