Leave your thoughts about The Poseidon Adventure.
| DVDTalk.comScott WeinbergIf we're making picks for the most entertaining disaster flicks ever made -- my enthusiastic vote goes to The Poseidon Adventure. Easily. |
| Entertainment WeeklyClark CollisOnce the lady in question is overturned by a freak tidal wave the tone shifts from unintentionally comedic to undeniably exciting as renegade priest Gene Hackman leads a motley band of souls (including Ernest Borgnine, Shelley Winters, and Roddy McDowall) on their upside down quest to escape from a watery grave. |
| Video-Reviewmaster.comSteve CrumClassic of disaster movie genre with memorable cast. |
| Slant MagazineEric HendersonA nightmarishly schematic fantasia of guiltless discomfort. |
| Rolling StoneDavid FearThe effects here run the gamut from grandiose to goofy, but watch the upside-down ballroom sequence again. It's a set piece of pure destructive bliss, set to a symphony of screaming and breaking glass. Awesome. |
| The A.V. ClubNoel MurrayThere's ample overacting by the likes of Stella Stevens, Ernest Borgnine, and Shelley Winters, but the movie's one-obstacle-atop-another plot—and active meditation on faith—remain sharp and surprising. |
| The New York TimesA.H. WeilerThough tensions slacken and credibility is strained here, realistic technical effects make the stricken ship and the efforts of its survivors to escape a fairly spellbinding adventure. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertThis is a wonderful formula. I love it. The Poseidon Adventure is the kind of movie you know is going to be awful, and yet somehow you gotta see it, right? |
| Lessons of DarknessNick SchagerNeither as exciting nor as unintentionally funny as one would like it to be. |
| User ReviewJasonThis movie is really remarkably un-dated except for the clothes and the song -- it's refreshingly free of bad dramatic music during tense scenes, and the effects remain quite effective, keeping the focus on the performances rather than explosions and tearing metal. The acting is generally terrific and with the exception of the passive, personality-free singer, the female characters are quite strong. |
