Critics Consensus: The Poseidon Adventure exemplifies the disaster film done right, going down smoothly with ratcheting tension and a terrific ensemble to give the peril a distressingly human dimension.

Reviews

Gone With The Twins

Mike Massie

The special effects are extraordinary, along with the topsy-turvy sets, augmenting a nerve-wracking plot of distressing exploration, frazzled nerves, and creeping death.

Titanic without the smarm.

What Parents Need to Know

Parents need to know that kids will hear be exposed to some violent and scary situations. Bodies are flung like confetti in the wake of a tidal wave; some bloody injuries and many deaths result. There are frequent sprinklings of moderately salty language and a reference to a passenger's former career as a prostitute. But the film also emphasizes strength of character, determination, courage and ingenuity in the face of calamity, too.
