Poseidon (PG-13) 3.0

Poseidon (2006): On New Year's Eve, the luxury ocean liner, Poseidon, capsizes after being swamped by a rogue wave. The survivors are left to fight for survival as they attempt to escape the sinking ship.

Director: Wolfgang Petersen
Stars: Richard Dreyfuss, Kurt Russell and Emmy Rossum

Meh ... another "emergency in a mass transportation vehicle" story with stereotypical people acting expectedly. Predictably things work out, or not, for the cast of characters. The story has so many technical holes. The ship is supposed to be upside down, but a lot of the scenes look right side up. My rating: 3.0
