Terrible

Lisa from N Wales, 22nd June, 2007

I found this awful....i kept thinking about the fantastic original film, i couldn't help it because the storyline was pretty much copied. The actors were very unconvincing and i didn't care what happened to them (unlike Shelly Winters in the original), the script was very basic throughout with one liners like 'there must be another way out' or 'quick the waters rising' all said without much conviction, i'm afraid i didn't feel for any of them at all. Very very poor re-make IMO, i wouldn't recommend it unless perhaps you hadn't seen the original.

A sinking ship

Mbub from Westbury, Wilts, 30th April, 2007

This film is about a ship that is hit by a tidal wave and how some of the passengers get off it before it sinks. This film felt like it just wanted to end quickly and it didn't matter if you got the plot or not. Although I watched until the end, hence 3 stars I there was nothing there that would make me buy this movie, or even watch again. 3 stars for me is average and thats what this film is.

A Very Nice Re-make

Tony from Chigwell, Essex, 7th June, 2006

I was a bit dubious about watching a re-make of a very good film, they are usually a let down. I was pleasantly surprised with this movie though, the story was slightly different not much, the plot was the same, but it was well thought about how to bring this classic up to date with out going over the top and spoiling it. So in all, Great movie defiantly worth a watch.

You need a bigger TV

Tij from , 13th June, 2006

I can rememeber watching the origiinal on all those bank holidays growing up, listening to people whinge about the repetativenes. I loved it

This a well structured, powerfull, special effects laden masterpeice (almost). Its up there with the original, the only draw back is I think maybe it won't have the same effect on the small screen, so go buy a big tv!

This is a wonderful take on the disaster genre, one which will probably haunt our childrens bank holidays for years to come.

more like god of the wee

lilsimo from , 17th March, 2010

This is probably the worst disaster movies i have ever seen. The acting was below ok at its peak. I would advise no one to watch this film!

What do you expect

Aspman from , 12th March, 2010

Well it's a 'B' movie set in an upside-down boat. There isn't an awful lot more it can do to be different than the 70s original. So take your brain out of gear and just enjoy the silliness. A few of the deaths are quite gratuitous so beware if you're a little squeamish.
