It is New Year's Eve, and over 2,000 passengers & crew are ringing in the New Year aboard the huge cruise ship 'Poseidon' when it capsizes on the open sea in the middle of the North Atlantic Ocean.
A small group of survivors find themselves unlikely allies in a battle for their lives.
Determined to fight their way to the surface, the group sets off through the disorienting maze of twisted steel in the upside-down wreckage.
As the unstable vessel rapidly fills with water each must draw on skills and strengths they didn't even know they possessed, fighting against time for their own survival and for each other....
So another year and another remake, but this was doomed from the word go, as it stars Josh 'whenever I'm in a blockbuster it flops' Lucas. I think he's a good actor, and some of his more independent films are great, but this, Stealth, and on any levels Hulk, we're failures, and he was one of the big stars of those films.
This has all the elements of the original, the old rag tag team who survive have all their own problems, and they come to terms with them throughout the film.
Dreyfuss and Russell are the main draw here, and they are great in their roles, Lucas is good, but next to stars of this calibre, he just fades into the background.
The effects are the best thing about the whole movie, and once we get to the end of the adventure, you realise that the version with Hackman is still one of the best disaster movies ever made.
So in the end, it's not as bad as many state on here, it's just pointless.
