Poseidon: Review

The movie is awesome, spanning just over 90 minutes. You would keep biting your nail all through out!!! I liked the movie because of many reasons.

The movie is an excellent show piece of one saying: "Strong Self belief always leads to success". That's how the movie started with Poseidon sinking and Josh Lucas thought he still had a chance to survive. He along with other members tried all possible ways to escape and finally did. The most important thing to see here is that they never seemed accept defeat, whatever the case may be!!! It was quite inspiring for me though.

The movie is mostly based on application of common sense. It also shows some real things than unimaginable “typical filmi fundas”. At least 3 scenes are worth describing. First one is when they thought of filling up the container so that the valve will open due to pressure and they can escape. In another scene, Kurt Russell went down (150 meters) to stop the propeller switch. Obviously nobody will come alive after going so deep down water(unlike typical movie scene where the person would survive at the end) . Third and the best was the way they broke the Propeller to escape.

Just awesome.!!!
