Staro Says:
this movie looks like such a rip off Titanic
Hey, Star0 - 'splain yourself. It's based on a book and it was made into a movie before. Now, sure - both movies feature boats in trouble, but what else makes you think this is a ripoff? Other than Hollywood has never had an original idea.

Most people who have seen the trailer have commented on how much it looks like a pointless modern update of Titanic, regardless of what it was previously based on.
Massive cruise liner. Nature pwning cruise liner. Cast battle for survival in striken ship.
All it's missing in Celine Dion.

I haven't seen it yet. Maybe they will hire Celine to sing "the Morning After" for the remake.
-Sandy (which won an Academy Award for best song, yet another reason I agree that this category should be eliminated with prejudice)
Titanic is about a ship sinking... there's no battle for survival just people jumping off and swimming.
Posiedon takes place mostly AFTER the initial disastor... with a ship that hasn't sunk, but has capsized.
Other than being a movie about a big ship having a problem at sea, there's no Titanic similarity in the story, unless we're going to start calling every ship disaster at sea movie a Titanic ripoff.
Then I guess every space movie is a Star Wars ripoff too.
The similarity in the trailer comes from a few of the sets that look a bit Titanic-ish...
But the ship flips early so you won't see those long anyway.
Although it wasn't particularly great, had a few nice scenes here and there. This is a remake, didnt see the original but most mentioned it was better and more survivers in that. To sum up its about these people trying to escape from a sinking ship (yes titanic was better). Some scenes were lame like the "shake him off". You see the many routes and paths they take in order to prevent from being drowned by the water. Character roles were ok not great, could've done better interaction. Musical voice in the backround didnt seem to change or move. It was just fun seeing how they escape. Ending could have done more as well. 2.0 / 5
What's wrong with this picture? Only one old person (a long ago used up Dreyfuss), one kid, and no fat people. This ain't yo' Momma's cruise line. I almost didn't go see this movie be I needed a popcorn fix. The special effects were pretty cool however, especially the opening scene following Josh Lucas jogging on the deck. How'd they do that?
I thought it was "eh" entertaining. not that great. my dad thought that it was awful.
almost no character development

The summer box office is not off to a good start at all.
When is Hollywood going to wake up. Remakes and sequals are safe and usually sub-par flicks, and flooding the screens with them only turns people off even more.
