This was one I couldn't wait to see. I was hooked on those big disaster movies after that. When I see them today I like how they were able to combine such a large cast of famous people who all did their part to make the story more compelling. Last time I saw big stars work like that was in the last Avengers movie and the latest X-men. I like it.<br />Kalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00663751053844271849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7857882.post-89523829812877506872014-06-22T11:58:30.259-05:002014-06-22T11:58:30.259-05:00Huh.

I saw this movie as a kid -- I had to be all of seven years old, since it was on HBO the one year we actually had HBO -- and I loved it, for many of those same reasons: sheer suspense at wondering who makes it and who doesn't. I never watched anything else in this genre, but this one has stuck with me. (For an exercise in awfulness, though, check out the sequel, made in 1979 or so...it has Michael Caine as a down-on-his-luck boat owner who is out of money and happens upon the wreck of the Poseidon, and sees an opportunity to retrieve something worth money. It's not good.)Kelly Sedingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10704114189919711467noreply@blogger.com
