Even despite the screeching done by the singer in a few scenes..This film has always been a favorite of mine so I was thrilled to find it at a yard sale for only $1..Gene Hackman has always been a favorite actor of mine and even though I was only 4 when this film was released and still really little the first time I saw this movie Mr. Hackman impressed me greatly even then! Film opens up on the Captain arguing with the spokesman for the owner of the ships company demanding he speed up the Poseidon even though it is a old ship and on it's final voyage..the Captain argues it would be dangerous, but the jerk wont listen so the Captain does as he's told under a threat of being removed from duty..midnight News Years Eve comes and goes loud cheers fill the air as does warning bells..all goes silent then a few seconds later the ship is struck by a huge wave caused by a undersea earthquake..the wave is so big it causes the SS Poseidon to flip entirely over..a handful of survivors make plans to travel to the bottom of the ship which is now the top of the ship to meet resecuers other survivors refuse to join them..no one else goes with them..this film follows them on their dangerous trek to meet possible rescuers..Filled with suspense, lite comedy and romance this film is a true treat and a treasured classic no one should miss!Read full review
A True Classic with sensational Big Names of the time!! Shelley Winters is infamous in her role!! The individual actors each one standing out on their own, made this movie with a lot great scenes, without all the Hollywood stunts of the new one (Poseidon - which is still awesome but in a much different way). Watch this one first then follow it up with the latest hit! Get the DVD version though!
A great Classic. Who can believe that it has been 35 years since the making of this film? It still holds the suspense all through the movie. All great performances by all involved.
Like the older movies, another one of my all time favorites. Bought it so that I could watch it whenever I want.
