avoid this movie . if you be expect the poseidon adventure ( 1972 ) and you may experience nothing more than a case of the bend . this film offer nothing more than two extremely long and and draw out and hour of complete boredom . the cast member act a if they be anger by the irritation of a bathtub of water overflow on a bed of an insignificant petunia . the script be totally unrealistic and and the film do not even have the feel of a disaster movie . in fact and everything about this movie be bad and with the exception of tom courtenay . it be unfortunate that such a fine actor get swept away and by a flood of misrepresentation and to appear in such a washout . when this movie be be make and the poseidon must have turn over and in it watery grave and in a sea of shame . and and shelley winter will rise again and from the dead ( direct from the poseidon ) and to haunt anyone who dare to see this pathetic movie . i rate this film a negative and but it really deserve a zero . this movie will make you want to avoid and or completely turn against and water . and and it will leave a bad taste in your mouth . it may even make you want to see jaw ( 1975 ) and and befriend a great white .
