The Poseidon Adventure Reviews

Hackman invented the scream-at-people-for-no-reason technique, later adopted by Pacino.

Pretty solid flick with interesting, believable characters. Testament to courage and the human spirit.

A groovy time until Mr. Magoo goes bottoms up. Not sure I would have listened to Hackman. Makes you want to stay dry.

7/10

Way better than I expected it to be! Would definitely recommend.

6/10

One of the all-time great disaster films. It’s so high quality it surpasses whatever Dwayne Johnson disaster films we get today. Amazing production design, genuinely some of the best ever and a great score. Really well-developed group of characters all performed greatly

The earliest film I can recall seeing in the movie theater at age 5. An edge of your seat thrill ride!

Amazing acting, loved this as a kid.

Nothing better than an old school disaster picture! Adapted from the Paul Gallico book he wrote after being on the RMS Queen Mary (which it was filmed on) when she was hit by a massive wave and nearly capsized!
