    The Poseidon Adventure was one of the first disaster flicks and it arguably remains the best.

    What the glittering, star-driving survivalism of Poseidon Adventure actually presents is a nightmarishly schematic fantasia of guiltless discomfort.

    Neither as exciting nor as unintentionally funny as one would like it to be.

    Now you've done it; high concept disaster movies, especially those of Irwin Allen, are one of the chinks in my critical armor. Just can't watch them enough.

    Classic disaster movie. Still holds up today as the survivors climb up a capsized boat.
