Okay, so we got to watch “Poseidon” last night and I have to say it was good. If you have ever seen the original “The Poseidon Adventure”, which I first saw it with my Mom one afternoon when I was a teenager-we sat down and watched it together and “The Towering Inferno” one afternoon; anyway, if you have seen the original then this one is pretty similar, however, its much shorter than the Ernest Borgnine, Gene Hackman version. This one stars Kurt Russell, Richard Dreyfuss, Emmy Rossum (Phantom of the Opera), Jacinda Barrett (Ladder 49), and Josh Lucas (Hulk and Sweet Home Alabama). The cast does a great job and the movie is very intense. The first 15 minutes is pretty general character introductions, but once the wave is seen in the distance then the intensity starts and does not stop until the end. A few key scenes are very similar to the original, however, the ending is a bit different. Overall, I’d give it 3 stars. Its not “Titanic”, but its still a fun disaster film to watch with the intensity and special effects of a lower budget “Titanic”. I’d give it 3 stars for ages 10 and up and 3 stars for couples to watch as well as adults. Kids under the age of 7 probably shouldn’t watch it, but I don’t think it would really hold their attention anyway. It runs about 90 minutes or so and is rated PG13 for intense scenes of disaster and peril.
