Viewing Notes

I’ve been avoiding this movie for years, mostly because I saw no reason for a remake of what I consider an iconic, classic disaster movie.

My kids and I recently watched The Towering Inferno and I wanted to follow it up with The Poseidon Adventure. However, it wasn’t available at the library and this was. I decided I’d do it for the kids.

While no masterpiece, I enjoyed the movie. I was particularly relieved to see that it wasn’t really a remake, just a different, updated riff on the same premise.

Best part of the movie? Fergie of the Black Eyed Peas drowns! Seriously, worth a watch for that reason alone.
