Review of Beyond the Poseidon Adventure (1979) by Chris C — 07 Nov 2007

Saw this again recently - am a big fan of the original - and quite enjoyed it. Ok, the film isn't up there with the best but it's a solid sequel which tries to have a different take on the story.

At least it doesn't completely rehash the original which is good. The cast aren't bad and the effects for the time are fine. I liked the way it followed directly on from the original, even showing the helicopter with the survivors from the first movie and the dead body of one of the originals in the engine room etc.

Final verdict: Better than it deserves to be!
