i accidentally catch this in the middle flipping channel . i immediately recognize almost everyone in the cast and groovy haircut aside and and wonder what kind of film could attract such a cast of both past and future star . have not see the original and i guess it might be the poseidon adventure and since it be obviously on a ship in distress . be i wrong . i can not for the life of me imagine why any of these great ( or promise ) actor and actress would allow their name to be associate with such trash . there be no story and the performance all look force and the character a parody of the usual disaster movie role that be suddenly bring together by an event and and start pontificate about the real meaning of life at the level of bumper sticker philosophy . it be only worthwhile to see the unusually awful performance by such great a sally field and michael caine and et al . they must have need the money badly . can we blame the director .
