Poseidon (2006) 5/10

Starring : Josh Lucas, Kurt Russell, Jacinda Barrett, Richard Dreyfuss, Emmy Rossum, Mia Maestro, Freddy Rodriquez
Director : Wolfgang Petersen
Running Time : 98 mins

A luxury liner named Poseidon is hit by a giant tidal wave on New Years Eve, and the ship capsizes. As the ship begins to sink, a small group of survivors find themselves battling for their lives as they attempt to escape from the sinking ship before they’re all killed.

In spite of some amazing special effects, and what looks like a gigantic set, this movie just didn’t really have much going for it. The script was weak, the characters were unsympathetic and did nothing to make the audience like them, and in many ways it felt like the writers and taken elements of Armageddon and just adapted the script to fit on board a cruise liner. This is definitely only worth watching if you’re easily impressed by big budget special effects.
