The movie started with everybody having a good time playing poker, celebrating the new year on the massive god of the sea, POSEIDON. We have the colorful bunch of people on board. Ramsey (Kurt Russell) a former Fire Fighter and NY Mayor is on board with daughter Jennifer (Emmy Rossum) whose decided to marry his boyfriend Conor (Jimmy Bennett) and picked a hell of a time to tell daddy. Then we have Dylan (Josh Lucas) who is a professional card player trying making the big bucks, Elena (Mia Maestro) who is a hitchiker trying to get to NY to see her sick brother...
All is well, we see Captain Bradford played by Andre Braugher (haven't seen him in a while...) toasting happy new year with Fergie (of the black eyed peas... and i mean huge jugs... :D) in the main hall with all the guests, when the wave hit them completely turning the Poseidon upside down. Our main protagonists started scrambling for dear life trying to flee the ship against the captain's good judgment... which is wrong... hahaha...
Make no mistake my friends, this movie is full of action. We can see the efforts that they put in trying to escape their doom. Russell is his usual cool self. Josh was not bad, Emmy was cute... and so on...
Except towards the ending we can see where the sacrifice that had to be made... the anguish, the decisions... it's basically Armageddon all over again... nobody can beat Bruce Willis in Armageddon and Titanic... without the mushy-mushy stuff.
All in all it's great movie to pass the time... It surely will get your heart pumping for the next summer installment which is The Da Vinci Code...
By the way, Richard Dreyfuss is playing a prominent character... a gay architect... and he lives... shit! I was hoping that he'd die a terrible death!
Rating: 4/5 stars...
Go watch it with loved ones... or your cat...
