Decent movie I guess. Gene Hackman, Ernest Borgnine, and Red Buttons were great.

Will have to see how this compares to the Kurt Russell/Richard Dreyfuss remake, Poseidon (2006)...


I love the 1972 Poseidon Adventure. It was one of my favorite movies as a kid. I had the 2006 version on DVD, and could not make it through the whole movie. It was that bad.
