      The H A carbon copy of the originally stupid film Rated 1 out of 5 stars 10/11/23 Full Review robert p I hate remakes of older CLASSIC movies. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review adam b A pretty terrible film but what can you really expect from Halmark. Probably best to just avoid Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member From Hallmark Entertainment comes The Poseidon Adventure, a rather cheap and poorly made updated adaption of Paul Gallico's adventure novel. When a terrorist attack capsizes the S.S. Poseidon during a luxury cruise a group of passengers band together and struggle to reach the outside; meanwhile the military attempts to find the missing ship and get a rescue crew to her before she sinks. The terrorist angle is a real WTF kind of curveball that creates all kinds of problems. However, most of the other changes aren't that bad and explore some of the characters that were left out of the Irwin Allen version. But the script is just awful and the acting is garbage (despite featuring some talented actors). Also, the digital effects and blue screen work are atrocious. Even by Hallmark TV movie standards, The Poseidon Adventure is pretty abysmal. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member Very interesting and different take on the Poseidon adventure, but not so great Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member Loved this film since I was a kid. Freaked me out and kept me interested through-out. Still fun. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      John Leonard New York Magazine/Vulture Not even the presence of Sylvia Syms can make up for the absence of Shelley Winters as Our Lady of the Water Wings in this hyper remake about an ocean liner turned turtle, upside down and gurgling. Jan 18, 2018 Full Review Alberto Abuín Espinof A very good film, full of emotion. [Full Review in Spanish] Feb 12, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews
