Haven't seen both...

MrFlappy102 · « **Reply #4 on:** March 10, 2009, 23:11:37 »

The new ones great. I don't know why but I cna never get over the poor picture of older movies.

firestar12 · « **Reply #5 on:** March 10, 2009, 23:52:17 »

I liked the first one, (I haven't seen the second one). But I heard it was good!

The new Poseidon is alright, but, I found it a bit too far fetched to be honest, running around like headless chickens, reversing the bow thrusters and all that, made me scream with laughter!!!!

hahahaha

I prefer the original to be honest. $:-\$

RMS Canada · « **Reply #8 on:** March 11, 2009, 16:45:32 »

I've seen the new one but never old one. I've been trying to look for The Poseidon Adventure in stores but haven't been lucky.

Exactly. And the fact that they tied in a love story with it. How original.

Sounds a bit like the Titanic 1997 movie to me

If it's an American movie, it's male-cow doo-doo...

I agree, but I hope you are not saying that in a racist kind of way.

saltydog · « **Reply #13 on:** March 11, 2009, 21:53:41 »

I think American movies in general blow bottom..

(they are so predictable)...

The love story needs to be there. It's the only way to get Spambot to watch it too. How many Spambot you think would have watched titanic if it was just a bunch of guys trying to save them self?

saltydog · « **Reply #16 on:** March 12, 2009, 15:59:46 »

I really should rectify my earlier comment: there are quite a few good American movies..
I guess I've seen a bit too many Heroes and Happy Endings...

CaptainMike1 · « **Reply #17 on:** March 12, 2009, 16:52:05 »

I prefer the original because I haven't seen the second!!

jim.smith · « **Reply #18 on:** March 12, 2009, 18:48:14 »

Thats an honest answer Mike.

maritiem · « **Reply #19 on:** March 12, 2009, 19:01:53 »

The newest movie, obviously. why? well the ship looks much better, better graphics, better story just everything is better.

just because of the modern day effects makes the second film better. but the original is still a classic

Mine is the Poseidon of 2006. It is a modern ship that is mostly designed to show it is like the RMS Queen Mary 2. I saw videos on YouTube about the 2006 Poseidon Movie and it's great! My vot is on that for good

Too bad that I haven't seen any of those movies, what a shame!
Canada, can you add a 3rd option "Haven't seen both" into your poll?

Already done, sorry it took so long I haven't been on the fourm since my March Break began.

Stuart2007 · « **Reply #24 on:** March 21, 2009, 21:25:52 »

I remember this debate from about a year or so ago. The general concensus was that the recent remake is so technically appaling that anyone with a remote interest in ships should be appalled.

-Bow thrusters running after its capsized- the engine/generators are still operational.
-Thrusters move water from one side to the other and not into or out of the thruster tunnel as depicted (ie turning the switch from port to starboard would change the direction of flow but it would not cause a vacumn in the tunnel)
-I don't know but I suspect you can't undo a padlock and walk into the thruster tunnel just like that.
-Oil film on the top of the water at the bottom (top!) of the atium- doesn't form like that shown.
-Everyone electrocuted in the disco except Emmy Rossum (thankfully!)? How terribly convenient.
-The ship turned back onto its keel before sliding under
-The RaDar didn't een pick up the tsunami approaching.

I only saw it once so the above list may not be exhaustive. I used the DVD to protect my desk from coffee cups.
