Poseidon (2006)

[Movie 53 / Day 32]


Average action remake of the 'classic' 1972 movie, the plot is really simple. Big boat gets hit by bigger wave, tips upside down, bunch of passengers work their way to the bottom of the boat in order to escape through the propellor tube. Obvious thing to do, really.

Lots of CGI, some of it works, some doesn't, but it's inoffensive enough - as long as you don't think about it too much.

Props to Kurt Russell, who in a couple of scenes seems to attempt to make over-acting a fine art. See the resuscitation attempt and the drowning scene for more details.

My rating: 5.5 / 10
IMDB rating: 5.6 / 10
Running time: 98 mins
