Although the original Irwin Allen THE POSEIDON ADVENTURE is a better movie, this remake is still worth seeing. It does what a remake is supposed to do, take the original premise and make a different movie so it doesn't seem like an inferior rerun (as with Van Sant's PSYCHO remake). While the characters here aren't as fleshed out there's more than enough action and convincing special effects to make up for this lack of characterizaqtion. The pairing of Kurt Russell (STARGATE, VANILLA SKY) as a former Mayor of New York and Josh Lucas (HULK, WHEN STRANGERS APPEAR) as a shady gambler works well.
Although I recommend this remake I hope they don't plan on remaking BEYOND THE POSEIDON ADVENTURE.
