Review of Poseidon (2006) by Wayne S — 12 Jun 2015
Always been a big fan of The Poseidon Adventure. So I am greatly interested in seeing the 2 remakes: Poseidon and The (made for tv) Poseidon Adventure.
Watched Poseidon today. Stars Kurt Russell and has a few others in it. Takes the plot of the original film: boat hit by big wave, survivors trying to get out through the bottom. That's about it though. None of the characters are the same, no Mr and Mrs Rosen, no Ackers, no Preacher, no Rogo.
Richard Dreyfus plays a character reminiscent of Red Buttons. Josh Lukas and Kurt for Ernest and Gene. The new movie delivers on action and intensity that the original didn't strive for, but it lacked the character development that made the original such a memorable film.
