The Poseidon Adventure

2005 · 173 min

A tense, waterlogged disaster ride that keeps you on edge with claustrophobic escapes and sudden deaths, though it feels stretched and a bit cheap.

Overview: A cruise ship succumbs to a terrorist act and capsizes on New Year's eve. A rag-tag group of survivors, spearheaded by a priest and a homeland security agent, must journey through the upside down vessel and attempt an escape.
How it feels: Tense, dark, bleak and earnest. Brisk and easy to follow.
About: Survival, family, betrayal, death
Content: Strong violence. Mild gore, sexual content and language.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
