    The Poseidon Adventure is terrible as a movie but excellent as a documentary about the kind of person who will get everyone killed in an actual emergency.

    You know what I’ve been thinking about today? The Poseidon Adventure. Legit the only movie I’ve ever seen where a fat woman’s weight is neither mocked nor moralized, and she gets to be a damn hero. Man. What a low bar.

    “The Poseidon Adventure” was the “ Phantom Menace” of my generation. A demonstrably meh movie that every kid who saw it in 1972 thought (and still do) that was one of the great films of all time.

    My favourite Gene Hackman movie is The Poseidon Adventure. There are plenty of others that were better written/directed, but I can't think of a better example of Hackman raising the quality level of a movie by the sheer strength of his performance. He turns a good disaster film into a classic.

    I keep seeing this criticism of the lack of the Gods, but I couldn’t disagree more. They are so present in this film, in every choppy sea and cracking thunder that throws Odysseus and his men across the sea. We may not see literal guys, but Zeus and Poseidon are so present in this film.

    Yes! It’s also the inciting incident that pisses off Poseidon. But Nolan in all his serious adult wisdom decided we didn’t need the main antagonist in the film anyway.
