Variety Staff Variety Mar 26, 2009
Beyond the Poseidon Adventure comes off as a virtual remake of the 1972 original, without that film's mounting suspense and excitement. Go to Full Review
Jonathan Crocker Time Out Sep 2, 2006
It provides the thinnest of excuses for rerunning the 'dramas' of the night before, but it doesn't do anything to salvage the venerable formula. Go to Full Review

Albus L Jul 9, 2018 I think that this movie doesn't deserve 0%. So what if the audio is choppy and the characters could use a little more work? I still find the movie entertaining and that what matters to me. See more
