Poseidon

A remake of that 1972 classic.
The ship capsizes, stays afloat because of air pockets, and the main crew is just scrambling to reach the surface.

Another damn remake!
🙄
To make matters worse, it’s boring. I lost interest after barely thirty minutes.
😬

I still remember watching the original when I was a kid—it absolutely terrified me.
The original is better. Period.

Velis, even back then you were probably hiding behind someone just to get through it.🤣

What's wrong with the compression? It's completely lacking.
😬

Hey, did you catch Poseidon?
😉

Come on, just admit you were secretly relieved when—without giving anything away—one of those characters actually made it out alive?

man, you totally spoiled it again...😠

Wait, is that the one where they’re trapped down below and they start banging on the hull of the ship until a helicopter finally shows up to rescue them?

I think I watched that about 10 years ago. 😕

The movie was a total disaster.
Even with those big stars, there's just nothing worth watching here.
In terms of plot or execution: zero.

The movie isn't anything groundbreaking, but it was a decent way to kill some time. Especially since you get to see a super charming Josh Lucas on screen.

It’s a decent enough flick. It features some impressive visual effects—likely the most expensive production of the year—making it a solid choice if you just want to kill some time.

I’ve sat through much, much worse movies, so this wasn't exactly a disaster. 😁

Look, I'll be honest: by the time the credits started rolling, I had completely checked out. Lost my focus entirely.

I watched that about ten years ago.😕

Yeah.

I’m sitting here watching this movie—the original one, mind you—and I honestly cannot wrap my head around why anyone would even think about making a remake of something this good.😕

Lawrence Jackson84 said:I’m sitting here watching this movie—the older one, obviously—and I honestly cannot wrap my head around it. Why on earth would anyone think a remake of a film like this is necessary? It's a complete waste of time. 😕

Yeah, honestly... there's just no point.
They’ve officially run out of ideas. Total brain drain. 😳

Cro Fag said:I mean, seriously... there's just no point in even trying.
They’ve completely run out of ideas. Honestly, it's pathetic. 😳

It’s going to happen before we know it—we’re all going to be completely broke. 🤮

Why do people even bother with remakes? It is much simpler to recycle five old ideas than to actually develop one single original concept.

Anyway, did you catch Poseidon?

I watched it yesterday on Divx. Honestly? Everyone seems to have trashed it, but I thought it was alright. I actually dig how they didn't try to make it some deep, layered masterpiece; it’s just pure survival. If they had shoved in some Titanic-style romance or a trillion sob stories about every single character's tragic backstory and why they even ended up on the ship, I would've lost my mind. My only real gripe is that it felt a bit short—give me another 20 minutes of pure adrenaline and special effects and we're talking.
Look, if you ask me, this is a damn disaster movie, and it doesn't need some side plot. Sure, I'm just a regular guy, not some high-brow critic who lives to dissect cinema, but personally, it worked for me.
