Josh Lucas starred in Stealth and An Finished Life which bombed. Emmy Rossum was Christine in Phantom of the Opera which didn’t win rave reviews. Kurt Russel was last seen in several unmemorable movies like Sky High. All three star in Poseidon which sinks.
Fans of Poseidon Adventure (from 1972) and "Jack meets Rose" Titanic will be disappointed. There is no love story, no emotional aspect, no tears shed when people die on the ship. Do expect lots and lots of CGI though.
Do not get me wrong. Poseidon still gears up several intense moments when a group of survivors try to get to the bottom propeller when the cruise liner capsizes upside down. Expect water, fire, screams and water.
Some people live and many people die. Those who did were reduced to simply one of the many bodies. And when one of the lead fails to survive (sorry for the spoiler), you just go, “Hmm, all right. Next.”
