The Poseidon Sinks Again

Tweet

Sorry guys to spoil the plot, but it happens in both films, so if you saw the first one back in 1972 (Ouch! I was aged just one!) then you know what is coming in waves in the remake of 1996 (24 years later despite the changed actors you'd think they'd know the wave was coming LOL! Seriously though I was at the gym today and they had the Poseidon Adventure showing and although seriously dated, I still think I prefer the original to the updated one. I did go and see Poseidon at the cinema and it's a film where you definitely get the full affects on the big screen, rather than on the television. If I had of been old enough I think I would have be in awe of the original on the big silver screen. So the actors and actresses might have changed, I suspect most of the original cast of Poseidon Adventure have sadly left the boat and we are given new actors and actresses, the same plot, but a different story line, but of course the same thing happens, wave! No WAVE!! But one thing I hope is that don't make a remake of Beyond The Poseidon Adventure, that was dire, with Michael Caine and Telly Savalas! Could you imagine if they made a Beyond The Titanic, ok so The Poseidon wasn't bassed on history like Titanic So which of the two Poseidon did you enjoy the most, or haven't you seen any of them? Oh come on you must have seen one, they've rerun the original that many times the tape is well worn or have you been living at the bottom of the ocean where the Poseidon finally went in the sequel! And now they are remaking The Taking Of Pelham 123. Do you think it's good that they are remaking old films, or is it a cheap way of getting money from people? To see the same plot, but updated. And what old films would you like remade? What about Earthquake and Towering Inferno, do you think they'll remake those? But Towering Inferno without Steve McQueen and Paul Newman? Who'd they get to fill their unfillable boots?
