Review of Poseidon

Poseidon (2006)
the hell of up side down
23 June 2006
basically, this short film by Wolfgang Petersen has simple storyline. I wouldn't's say it is that bad just like most other audiences' point of views, but the story is hollow and not interesting at all. The director Wolfgang Petersen should make more effects on these main characters like Kurt Russell, Josh Lucas and so on. The most impressive is its visual effects and the opening scene when Josh Lucas appears at the edge of the upper side of the ship. The camera movement of the first scene is creative and interesting. The ship sinking scene and water splash scene are quite impressive and realistic. However, that's all about it. Nothing else special. By and large, even though the director has a lot of damn money in "eye ball dropping" visual effects, this still can not save the hollow story and boring characters. Poor Poseidon.
