Poseidon (2006)

A rogue wave capsizes a luxury ocean liner on its New Years transatlantic journey. On board is a whole mess of famous passengers who must traverse many dangers to escape the sinking ship. It’s nowhere near as entertaining as the original Poseidon Adventure, but I appreciate that the films don’t shy from killing off well-known characters. Sadly that leaves the film with a lot of humdrum characters toward the end, though I do like the buddy leadership of Kurt Russell and Josh Lucas carrying the group from peril to peril.  

Oscar Nomination: Best Achievement in Visual Effects
