Beyond The Poseidon Adventure follows two rivaling salvage partiesattempting to gain the salvage rights of a sinking luxury cruise ship, and they all end up inside the doomed thing.
What did we really, sincerely, expect anyway, from a movie in which Karl Malden plays a character named 'Wilbur,' and Slim Pickens plays a character named 'Tex'?
It's ironic that this sequel to the blockbuster that initiated the disaster movie cycle should effectively finish off the genre and the career of its king, Irwin Allen.
You can always tell an Allen film, even without looking at the credits. A name cast, a terrible event, and dialog that ranges from boring to embarrassing.
