Has anyone watched this? It's a remake of the 70's movie The Poseidon Adventure. I watched and I find it rather good... lotsa action, lotsa suspense, and pretty tragic. And gosh, awesome special effects... add some leng chais and leng luis plus some irritating side characters and I guess you get this wonderful popcorn movie... worth a watch. PS: Dun watch if you are scared of dead bodies in water

Yeah I watched it. Pretty good really. Contrary to what critics said. A worth to watch. Really kept me suspense once the action started coming. And don't watch too if you're hydrophobia LOL.

I have seen the 1972 original when i was just a little kid, way back I can't remember when. At that time I was the "lang chai" as the heroes where the not so handsome Gene Hackman & Ernest Borgnine. LOL.
The original movie was the absolute bomb. I can still remember almost every scene of the movie even though it must have been more than 30 years ago. I havent seen the latest one as yet, but I hope it will not be just an exact copy with newer effects. I don't wanna be dissapointed. Talking about remakes, I still prefer the original "Italian Job" compared to the effects laden remake. Something about the pacing and delivery of the originals seems to overshine all these newly enhanced ones. WIth the exception of King Kong by Peter Jackson.
There was also a crappy sequel to the original called "Beyond The Poseidon" starring Michael Caine, Sally Field & Telly Savalas (Kojak), directed by the original director Irwin Allen. I have seen that too.
Perhaps I will go and watch the new one today.
