Where is the Director’s Cut?
Poseidon runs a surprisingly brisk 99 minutes, with 10 minutes reserved for credits. It cost Warner $160 million dollars to produce, which means that the film cost $900, 000 for every thirty seconds of footage. Wolfgang Petersen’s original cut was 125 minutes before someone, somewhere ordered him to cut it down. Don’t get me wrong, it’s constantly going and the short running time matches the no-seconds-to-spare realism of a gradually sinking capsized ship. The set pieces the film has to offer are all nail-biting and intense, but I just felt that there wasn’t enough of them.I’m not such a big fan of the original. I liked it as a kid but viewing it as an adult I’m turned-off by the soap opera drama and dated effects. Back in the early 70s this may well have been fine but perhaps such advances in movie effects is why remakes of these kind of movies are not so unnecessary. Though I don’t really consider this a ‘remake’ as it is just another version of Paul Gallico’s novel.The characters are all likable and even though the set-up and introductions are pretty quick, we get to know enough and grow attached to them before the big wave hits (no longer a tsunami) and what a set-piece that turns out to be! The initial capsizing of the ship is a brilliantly edited destruction derby in which many, many human lives meet violent deaths. If there would be just one thing the film has to offer it is plenty of dead bodies. But why not go one step further and show some really heavy gruesomeness? I would have liked that!The idiots (there are usually loads in disaster films) stay behind in the ballroom while a bunch of more sensible survivors decide to escape by going up (down) to the engine room and out through the propeller tubes. Only because everything is inverted, there are loads of obstacles, including a race-against-time in a very small and very cramped air vent. Not all of them make it!It’s a shame that Poseidon didn’t do better at the box office but it faced stiff competition in summer 2006. The worldwide grosses maxed out at $181 million, so it only just barely broke even. For some reason Poseidon has had a bad reputation, which is doesn’t deserve. The theatrical cut, available here on this Blu Ray, is stripped-down and on the nose. A fleshed-out extended version might win over the doubters.The Blu Ray features a great 2.35:1 1080p picture and a DTS HD-MA soundtrack with plenty of extras.

Good to watch over and over again.
Poseidon is one of those movies that we find our family watching at least once a year.We always get in the mood for some sort of epic adventure movie/disaster movie. We have a list of a few dozen movies that we love and Poseidon is one of those. It’s not as good as Titanic, but it’s got action and suspense, love and high emotions, appeals to the young and old. We love it!

It’s a good try
This was a good try, it was a good film. But if you’re going to remake a film, try to make it as good as the original. This version has its strong points, but overall is kind of just ok.

This was a remake but it definitely was an excellent remake
This is a well done high speed thrill ride that will make you where you never want to get on a cruise ship. There was multiple explosions and breathtakingly special effects and stunts that were done in this movie that will leave you breathless.. Love this movie

WORTHY REMAKE
As a 10 year old, watching the original version of ‘Poseidon Adventure’ was at the time, an adventure. Up until that time, special effects were rather routine and sometimes unbelievable. Irwin Allen’s masterful work made what could have been a trite film into a piece of art.After viewing the film the first time, the audience exploded in applause, as during the film’s running time, each viewer was caught up in each of the character’s life, struggle, and more often than not, their demise. With the special effects, and superb set designs, i also joined them, as i witnessed one of the best films i have ever seen. At age 10, i guess i saw enough ‘Creature Feature’ and what TV had to offer in order to make such a comparison.Since then, i have seen the original about 20 times, and each time, i do see, hear, and read between the lines more than what i saw during the previous viewing.Sometimes it does take more than one viewing to understand not only what the actors do on-screen, but what the director wanted you to see, or think, then you make your own conclusion.Now, on to the remake.I am one to not like remakes. At times, there are needs to remake an original film due to artistic mistakes, to update in order to include more gore, violence, bad language, etc. These elements sometimes hinders the mood of the original film. Take for instance ‘House On Haunted Hill’, ’13 Ghosts’, House Of Wax’. These films not only were updated, but were changed to a point where it bore almost nothing to the original, except it’s core story, otherwise they played for more of the elements that made them repulsive.In the remake of ‘The Poseidon Adventure’, it did need an updating, mainly for the progress in the use of special effects, which were handled superbly. It took me awhile, like the previous critic listed here to get the nerve to see the remake. I was also kicking myself for not seeing it sooner, as i was blown away by the special effects.One must remember, the original film had actors that were all famous. The remade version had a few familiar faces, but to me the rest i did not know, which to me made the film better than the original since it didn’t matter to me who died, as long as the the handful of survivors made it to where they were supposed to go, to the bottom of the ship in order to be rescued. Films like these will always have unfortunate deaths in order to move the story along, as this one has, but also, one must remember, this is only a film, and films do not have to be made to win academy awards, but to entertain, which this remake does, in abundance.The characters were developed just enough to care about them to a point, but was just enough to get the rest of the situation at hand when the wave hit, and the wave sure hits, and the action does not stop thereafter. In fact, there is rather little time from opening credits to the wave to get bored waiting.I gave the remake ‘5 stars’ for the reasoning that all involved with the film did a job well done. Some, if not many who did not see the original should see this version first, just for the sake of seeing how far special effects has progressed from previous action films. Then, see the original, and see how the effects were at an age where effects were sometimes done in the camera, and manually, without CGI.Both versions are not to miss. As for the TV version of ‘The Poseidon Adventure’, well, i’d have to do another review on that one, but since it wasn’t a great version, i will leave it up to others who may share my feelings.
