Hey folks if your a fan of big budget hollywood action movies
don't miss this movie, I mean I have just saw the trailers( you will
find them at www.apple.com/trailers ) and they are downloadable
for use on the ipod. Its out in the states on May 12 but don't know
when its due out here.Luckily I am in New York for two weeks around
the time it comes out so i will report back if its any good, but
judging from the trailers Posiedon Looks shit hot and deserves to
be a monster hit. :) :)
 
but why? why why why?

it's a completely pointless remake, made even more pointless by the fact that it's just isn't going to top titanic for epic boat sinks film.

There's a little review of the first 20 mins on Ch 4 teletext (p 311) - and they say that the special effects are fantastic (as good as Titanic) but the characters seem less developed (but may improve as the film continues). :)
 
Why judge this film by the effects from another film?



I should hope the special effects are better than those in Titanic considering its been the best part of a decade (9 years) since Titanic was released.

I agree with iain, that I was disappointed that this was been remade - the original was good and didn't need any special effects to make it better. Just another pointless remake.

I guess I just don't like remakes in general - especially when they plaster them in fancy new special effects that weren't available at the time of the original (e.g. The Mummy or King Kong - both of which were better off VISUALLY due to modern day sfx).

Dispite my moaning, I shall probably be looking forward to this more so than a remake of Predator or Robocop (which can only be about 20 years old!!).
 
There is no originalately these days, i see they are making a remake of "the hitcher" & "westworld" coming out next year with a girl who picks up the psycho. These days its all sequels, superheroes or remakes.
 
Perhaps they are jsut waiting until the time is right until they can bombard us with 911 films like they have done with WW2 films over recent years.

I know that there is a 911 related film due out soon - personally, I don't mind a 911 film coming out (I've heard that ppl are saying it's too soon) as long as though it's done with a certain amount of taste and its not just a special effects extravaganza, all over-dramatised and stuff.
