Beyond the Poseidon Adventure

Escaping the Poseidon turned out to just be the beginning as the story continues in Beyond the Poseidon Adventure. A small tugboat looking to claim salvage rights and a medical ship join forces to mount a rescue of possible Poseidon survivors, but things are not all that they appear to be. Despite having an interesting concept the story quickly falls apart and gets ridiculous. Another all-star cast has been assembled, and includes Michael Caine, Sally Field, Peter Boyle, Telly Savalas, and Slim Pickens. But the performances aren't very good, and the characters aren't that likable. Still, the action is shot pretty well and adds some intensity and excitement to the film. Beyond the Poseidon Adventure has none of the passion or charisma of the original, but it's entertaining at times.
