A movie which doesn't seem to know what it wants to be.Horror? Not really when its absolutely impossible for a detached steel cable to slice through everyone except a young girl who became a ghost. So thats the gore out of the way.What follows is a predictable story about a salvage company who discover some gold bars and the whole is stitched together by a jumbled story line which made little sense The music is terrible,the acting below par-its the Marlon Brando mumbling school at work here- and the logic non existent. Anything can happen because the scriptwriters and director said so. There's too much jump cutting-at one stage we see the sea on fire as if they've been transported to Hell I came on here to see what others thought-to see what the Hell this movie was about. But you already know when you see the moving cable -there's not the usual panicking and screaming if somebody got whacked (which is what would happen in reality)You just see the people in the ballroom-apparently the ships' crew have not been killed.And ask yourself-would a steel cable suddenly become a knife powerful enough to slice through bone? No way

It does however tell you that going on a luxury cruise means your life is in the hands of total strangers.Think of the Titanic

I just came on here to see if I was the only one who found this movie pretty bad.Apparently I was not Why do they do these remakes?The original was good enough and at least you could understand it.This one was such a mess that it was just no more than a movie made as a sort of video game. It was no more than a disaster movie by numbers-fires,floods and major panicking. At the beginning we see a person looking through a telescope then yelling at the crew to steer the ship away from whatever it crashed into Forget the original film this one was too muddled.But even the original movie was no more than escapist entertainment of something pretty impossible. The Titanic hit an iceberg and that's the reason it was always easy to understand. Without ever seeing the original Poseidon this one made no sense and was quite boring as millions of gallons of water should have seen everybody off. I take it the fires were because of the upended engine room but in real life the water would have quenched the flames

Any of today's generation not knowing anything about Linda McCartney other than a name on a veggieburger packet in the supermarket would not understand this horribly jumbled story.One minute Linda is seen on stage the next in chimotherapy. This movie just shows what a truly great film McCartney made in Give my regards to Broad Street. Key players during this period were missed altogether-Denny Laine for instance.Yet what had Bill Wyman to do with anything? The music heard was pointless-what had the Association song NEVER MY LOVE to do with anything Beatles or McCartney. No mention of animal rights anywhere-which is what Linda McCartney was all about and the Wings years were summed up in a "blink and you miss it". No mention of Give my regards to Broad Street in which Linda had a starring role. It was really forcing a quart into a pint pot and is really unessential. What next? Yhe Heather Mills Story? The Yoko Ono Story? The mind boggles
