	UGO.com Film/TV - Set Visit - Poseidon
		Though many give Airport (1970) the distinction of launching the modern disaster film, it was Poseidon's groundbreaking level of destruction and A-list pathos, not to mention its unprecedented gross of 100 million dollars at the box office, that set the modern disaster motif in motion.
		Of course, any film relying so heavily on special effects isn't going to stand the test of time very well, and the original Poseidon is no exception.
		In the case of Poseidon, Warner Brothers seems to be safely covering their bets by placing veteran director Wolfgang Petersen at the helm.

	Poseidon : film review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Poseidon is the definition of a Hollywood blockbuster.
		The introduction to the characters and the pre-sinking segment of the film is so inane and forgettable that you'll start to find yourself praying for the wave to come.
		If its audience were as stupid as it seems to think they are then they might as well have just re-released the original and pretended it was a remake.

	Poseidon Film Review
		Poseidon plays with our fears of confinement, of fire, of drowning and of relinquishing control and having to rely on the decisions of others.
		Poseidon maintains your interest and involvement and does not follow the usual 'disaster movie' formula.
		It is a very good, entertaining film with spectacular effects which with a tighter script might have been a great one.

	Urban Legends Reference Page: Lost Legends (Film at Eleven)
		The short flip card films viewed on customer-cranked Kinetoscopes and Mutoscopes in nickelodeons had given way to more elaborate films that were projected onto screens for audiences in movie theaters.
		These films were short (generally no more than one reel in length), and of course they were both silent and fl-and-white, but they had already captured the imagination of a population eager for new forms of entertainment.
		The film industry had not quite shed the somewhat seedy image it had acquired in the days of the nickelodeon, however, which is one of the reasons why this detail of the Titanic story has received relatively little attention.

	REVIEW: Poseidon - Film - The Oxford Student - Official Student Newspaper (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		In a Petersen film, it could be anyone or maybe even all of the characters.
		On board for the ride is a range of talent: Kurt Russell, Josh Lucas, Richard Dreyfuss, and The Phantom of the Opera’s Emmy Rossum.
		Poseidon is a ninety minute cocktail of gripping and suspenseful action mixed with hints of funny dialogue, strong secondary characters, and with a added zing of intertextual Backdraft and Jaws references.

	Ben and Barry's Blog: Poseidon Film Review
		Well they say special effects a film do not make, but in this case they made a huge difference.
		Not just the odd leak hear and the the odd paper basket full of burning paper there, as in the orginal, we're talking "Titanic" scale disasters, explosions and floods.
		Actors were there just to string the story along, but we both thoroughly enjoyed this remake.

	CANOE -- JAM! Video: 'Poseidon' spawned disaster film genre
		After it became a mega-hit, The Poseidon Adventure became the prototype of a new wave of disaster movies that inevitably led to Titanic in 1997.
		Three of these "classics" of the genre, led by The Poseidon Adventure, are fresh on handsome widescreen DVD to coincide with Wolfgang Petersen's Poseidon.
		Don't forget, however, they all were nominated for Oscars: The Poseidon Adventure got eight nominations, winning once plus a special tech Oscar for visual effects; The Towering Inferno also got eight noms, winning three times; Earthquake was nominated four times, winning once and getting the special visual effects Oscar.

		Whatever the reason, ‘Poseidon’ proves a distinctly conservative venture.
		Gone is Reverend Gene Hackman haranguing his faithful herd from ballroom up to propellor shaft in favour of gambler Josh Lucas trying to sneak off to safety alone.
		Where 1972’s crew conjured a rousing communality, 2006’s film offers a line-up of loners struggling to stay together and lacks the same momentum as a result.

	village voice > film > Poseidon by Michael Atkinson
		Kevin Dillon's caricatured asswipe is sub jected to one of the most deplorable deserving-death setups ever concocted, trying to pick a drunken fistfight within minutes of the boat turning over.
		Poseidon may, like Spielberg's War of the Worlds, go down better outside of the metro area than within.
		A supposedly fun thing I may never want to do again after 9-11, disaster films are simple death porn, and the easy wow factor of fireballs, massive explosions, flying bodies, and architectural obliteration on a large scale is, or should be, no longer a gimme.
