The rest is the usual, spectacle, but coldly served by a reluctant Petersen. [Full Review in Spanish]

Not one who believes in updates, remakes, re-dos or reinventions, I can honestly say this is one "remake" that surpasses the original in every way. (Okay, Gene Hackman would have been the only other plus.)

The movie is just what you'd expect: skimpy, almost laughable characterizations surrounded by claustrophobically suspenseful action sequences.

The new Poseidon is an e-ticket Disney World ride with Fastpass. Ten minutes in, the wave hits, you're underwater, gasping for breath and fighting for your life.

If you liked the original movie, you might like this remake as well.

It's a carnival ride, with shocks, endless stunts, and when you're done, you've forgotten it and moved on to something better.

Where the original had the distinct flavor of 1970s kitsch ... Petersen's movie has loads of CGI and a cameo appearance from Black Eyed Peas front woman Fergie.

It swims but it's one of those sloppy dog paddles your kid brother does more than an Olympic freestyle.

I left the film with one burning question: if I can't get a cell phone signal when I stand in a certain part of my back yard, how in the heck can you get one miles out to sea?

It certainly isn't as dramatic as Titanic, and the original Poseidon Adventure is still slightly better.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Sep 28, 2006

This is one of those unnecessary remakes that Hollywood regurgitates about once a month whether anybody is interested in them or not.

| Original Score: C | Jul 27, 2006

Poseidon re-introduces the disaster-movie genre to theaters, and they greet each other with a big, sloppy kiss ...

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 27, 2006

Típico filme de entretenimiento: palomero, sin necesidad de utilizar mucho las neuronas, bien hecho, atractivo y con el que se va a desperdiciar hora y media de la vida sin remordimiento alguno.

...[director Wolfgang] Petersen once again proves that he's a master at this sort of thing.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jul 11, 2006

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 8, 2006

Here we get the impression that the only thing on the minds of these filmmakers is how well they can polish up a turd before throwing it at unsuspecting audiences.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jun 30, 2006

Very run of the mill average Summer entertainment - action packed but no heart, let alone any sense of fun

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Jun 29, 2006
