Comments: The oceanliner Poseidon is full of passengers hoping to ring in the new year in luxury. Then, a massive rogue wave strikes the ship, capsizing it. Some of the passengers are determined to escape the overturned luxury liner.

The original movie, The Poseidon Adventure, is good but not great. It was a new idea that now seems very dated. This movie isn't a remake really because it puts characters in the same predicament. They find a way out differently than the original.

What bothered me about this film is the opening scene. This is touted as being one of the most extensive computer graphics (CG) scenes ever produced but it doesn't work for me. The ship looks too fake and I would have been just as happy with a model boat. The crashing water CG scene is well-done. The water looks almost perfectly real.

All in all this is an exciting adventure movie without too many "feel sad" moments.
