  Beyond The Poseidon Adventure (1979)
Picking up where The Poseidon Adventure left off, this action packed yarn tells the story of how a group of rescue workers descend on the overturned Poseidon to try and salvage the remnants of the crippled ship.
Beyond the Poseidon Adventure appears in an aspect ratio of approximately 2.35:1 on this single-sided, double-layered DVD; the image has been enhanced for 16X9 televisions.
The trailer for the 1972 Poseidon Adventure is a no-show since Fox owns the rights, but I don’t know why this set lacks an ad for 2006’s Poseidon, another Warner release.

Adventurers return to the overturned ship, seeking a fortune.
After bombing with "The Swarm," producer Irwin Allen, perhaps sensing that the disaster film cycle spawned by the success of "The Poseidon Adventure" and "The Towering Inferno" was about to end, returned to the scene of his first major crime...er, I mean success...and gave us this unnecessary sequel.
No matter how much money they make, it seems actors, except for those at the absolute top of the box-office rankings, suffer from an insecurity difficult for most of us to imagine, always believing that their last movie will, indeed, be their last movie.

Beyond the Poseidon Adventure is a 1979 sequel to The Poseidon Adventure.
Continuing from the original movie's conclusion (with the Poseidon still afloat) with the six survivors of Reverend Frank Scott's team rescued, a tugboat captain, Mike Turner, discovers the behemoth wreck of the settling ocean liner.

As per the recipe for '70s catastrophe movies, Beyond the Poseidon Adventure (directed and produced by the original's Irwin Allen) boasts a top-notch ensemble cast.
Among the rest of the cast are Shirley Jones as the Poseidon's nurse, Peter Boyle as a passenger and concerned dad, and a baby-faced Mark Harmon as a farming kid from "back home" in Iowa, cute as the early-years Beatles.
Beyond The Poseidon Adventure could have been so much better,(not that it is ALL bad)but with a better script (possibly looking at some of the other survivors and their attempts to escape, and a rescue attempt)it would have been an excellent sequel.

 Beyond the Poseidon Adventure Movie Review
Beyond The Poseidon Adventure (BTPA) may well occupy the innermost circle of bad filmdom.
Yet, all BTPA can muster are regular paroxysms of the capsized boat to nudge the plot along, two-dimensional acting, and monotony galore.
Perhaps the “poseidon” should be the unit of measure of bad film.

Also coming along is Telly Savalas playing a very evil doctor-madman trying to retrieve his plutonium from the Poseidons cargo hold.
In between Sally Fields deadly case of the cutes, Maldens gas pains, and stiff acting from the others, Irwin Allen really tried to make a good movie, but should have left the directing to someone less "action oriented".The movie was released May 18th, 1979, and had a less than impressive box office return.
Most Poseidon fans feel the best thing about the movie is the poster art by Mort Kunstler.

I posed this question to Irwin Allen, creator of the Poseidon movies and "The Swarm" and "The Towering Inferno," during one sunny afternoon in Southern California when disasters were the last thing on his mind.
The survivors of the Poseidon would be rescued and taken to land in Italy and be placed on a train which would go through a tunnel in the Alps, and the tunnel would collapse and everyone would be trapped under the mountain.
On the morning after the Poseidon's disastrous night, tugboat captain Michael Caine and sidekick Sally Field get back on board the Poseidon and find left-over survivors who were not drowned during the original movie, and then bad guy Telly Savalas puts them all in jeopardy, and then....

 Poseidon Movie Review at Hollywood Video
That about sums up Poseidon, a technically proficient but otherwise tedious redo of the classic 1972 disaster film The Poseidon Adventure, again based on the book by Paul Gallico.
The original was an all-star mega-hit that gave way to a string of other big budget "catastrophe" flicks, like The Towering Inferno, Earthquake, and The Hindenburg, as well as a wan sequel, Beyond the Poseidon Adventure.
An added bonus is that Shelly Winters isn't there to scream all the way through it, as she did in The Poseidon Adventure (1972), which was based on the same Paul Gallico novel as this one.

 DVD review of Beyond The Poseidon Adventure - DVDTOWN.com   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
But with the impending DVD release of Warner Bros.' 2006 "Poseidon" remake, the studio must have felt it was time to dredge up its 1979 sequel to the original 1972 "Poseidon Adventure." One "Poseidon" was more than enough; "Beyond the Poseidon Adventure" is every bit as bad as most sequels can be.
"Beyond the Poseidon Adventure" can fairly be called a disaster movie without anything actually happening to the ship; the movie itself is an unqualified disaster.
If you remember, in the original "Poseidon Adventure," a ninety-foot Mediterranean tidal wave struck a luxury liner on New Year's Eve.

What made the Poseidon Adventure great was the sense of disorientation (to this day, the image of toilets on the ceiling sticks in my mind) and the whole shock value of a luxury liner turning into a huge, metal tomb, about to either sink or explode at any moment.
Producer/director Irwin Allen - the so-called "Master of Disaster" - followed that up with the greatest disaster movie of all time, The Towering Inferno, and soon he was riding high on a blend in innovative stunts and big-name casts.
