The poseidon adventure: good or bad?
Just had to ask.

The original is first rate. A true classic.

The original is a thoroughly enjoyable romp with a great cast of stars and is mostly responsible for a half century of disaster movies that followed.
Gene Hackman and Ernest Borgnine go at it tooth and nail, Shelly Winters takes a classic swim and Carol Lynley stumbles through the entire film on the verge of an hysterical breakdown.
The film expertly balances the preposterous with the engrossing and is a must for all fans of the disaster genre.
To God There Is No Zero. I Still Exist.
It's an excellent film. The remake isn't bad, but the original is better in many ways.
"It's not my fault!"
The 1972 movie is thoroughly enjoyable!
shareThe "remake" isn't a remake
