Poseidon
(USA, 2006, 97 minutes)
A giant ocean liner is capsized by a rogue wave, and a small group of survivors try to find their way out of the topsy-turvy ship. Pointless, soulless but mercifully brief remake of 1972's The Poseidon Adventure that seems to serve no other purpose than a demonstration of state-of-the-art trick effects and lavish production values; one wonders what cast and crew saw in it.
Warner Bros. Pictures presents, in association with Virtual Studios, a Radiant Production/Next Entertainment/Irwin Allen Productions/Synthesis Entertainment production. Starring Josh Lucas, Kurt Russell; and Richard Dreyfuss; with Emmy Rossum, Jacinda Barrett, Mike Vogel, Mia Maestro, Kevin Dillon, Freddy Rodriguez, Jimmy Bennett, Stacy Ferguson; and Andre Braugher. Directed by Wofgang Petersen; produced by Wolfgang Petersen, Duncan Henderson, Mike Fleiss and Akiva Goldsman; screenplay by Mark Protosevich, from the novel The Poseidon Adventure by Paul Gallico; music by Klaus Badelt; director of photography, John Seale; production designer, William Sandell; costume designer, Erica Edell Phillips; film editor, Peter Honess; visual effects supervisor, Boyd Shermis.
