In a controversial incident about Poseidon, which was split and drowned in a wave. Everyone began to be dazed by the situation when they were trapped under the water line and summoned by the captain to stay in their place until the rescue team arrived. Before the arrival of the rescue team, everyone began struggling to maintain their calm but the water began to rush into the ship and flames were burning all over the place. When the fire caught fire, the ship began to enter the danger stage towards total darkness, as the survivors tried to fight for their lives and escape from certain death.
Poseidon betrays a studio mindset that can only hasten the current erosion of movie attendance -- skimping on human content while betting heedlessly on boom boom boom and gurgle gurgle gurgle.
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.
There's never any doubt that some of these uninteresting people will make the passage through hell to the hull, it's only a question of which ones. And whether we'll still be there to see whom.
A handful of the passengers may eventually get out of the ship alive, but nothing, it seems, can save them from Mark Protosevich's sinking script. At least it looks good as it goes down.
Petersen's expert direction ensures it remains gripping, keeping the tension ratcheted right up and commendably steering it all home within 100 minutes.
