xerodroid Dear god why? This was just too painful too watch, not to mention the heart breaking second rate acting going on! Did a bunch of retired actors get together and decide to, not only, ruin a classic, but what was left of their careers also? Such a shame!

johnc2141 In Hollywood lately every things either a sequel or remake or movie version of a TV show.posidon adventure is a bloated TV remake of the Irwin Allen 1972 classic of the same name,but this is not as good as the original.although it does boast a pretty good cast;Rutger hauer as the priest,C Thomas Howell the ships Dr,Bryon Brown,Adam Baldwin,and Steve Guttenberg(famous for the police academy movies)anyway this one is updated,no tidal wave this time but a terrorist attack gone wrong.bear in mind there is more character development in this version then the original,keeping the movie afloat for 2 parts.this was shown on TV in 2005,a year later posidon was released which as far as i know is about the same thing but with a bigger budget and more well known stars.i don't think its a poor movie but i will say it is fair to average.

bessiesmith-1 I ordered the Blu-Ray release of this, thinking it was the original film, which I liked. I had not heard of a TV "remake" and now I know why. This is undoubtedly among the most embarrassing films I have ever seen. Some films are so bad that they have inherent redeeming value, but this one has absolutely nothing going for it. It is mind-boggling that good actors could read this unprofessional script and still sign on the dotted line!I won't go into details, for others have done so quite well here. Terrible reviews of a film that is even more terrible.I will henceforth read carefully before I order a DVD.

Thomasbuettner22 Yep, love it simply because it gave me more time to reflect and finally wash my car. I was forced to turn off the TV after 20 minutes of watching the lousiest remake ever, my stomach couldn't take it anymore. If you have 2 hours of time to kill then you are better off to get some ice cream, take a walk or watch birds, but not this movie. And if you've seen and loved he original movie then you'll be very, very upset and hope that "Das Boot" will show up and end this disaster with a Torpedo; quickly.Should there be a small chance that any of the actors is reading this then: why did you sign up for the audition to take this role? Rutger, Peter, Steve, Bryan, anyone? Great names doesn't necessary mean you'll get a great movie, unfortunately.
