To anyone saying the 2006 version as a modern cruise ship, you're wrong. It is explained that in the 2006 film, it is a ocean liner just doing its usual route from UK to New York City much like the old ocean liners did. RMS Queen Mary 2 is considered modern-looking, but it is operating as a ocean liner. The 2005 version is the only one considered as a cruise ship, the 1972 film explains the ship was RMS Atlantis, also a ocean liner showing its old age before retiring her in service.
Again, after having just seen your Titanic side-by-side, this is pure brilliance (the '72 version having been my favorite picture for decades now). Your work is very, very much appreciated, Matt!
I think why the 2005 Poseidon sank is because after the explosion, water rushed into the hull, causing a list. The list worsened by the weight of the interiors and passengers shifting to the port side of the ship, which also shifted the center of gravity to the port side, creating a chain reaction that ultimately caused the entire ship to capsize. The same thing (kinda) happened on the MS Estonia, where water rushed in from the detached visor from the bow and only made worse by the raging Baltic Sea, which also made the entire thing capsize and sink a few minutes later, killing hundreds of people in the process. Don’t call me a nerd. Edit: the Estonia’s capsize happened in stages, where the ship listed gradually to the port or starboard side, and not instantaneous like the Poseidon trio.
or maybe because a TSUNAMI hit the ship?? and the weight of the water pushed it over and capsized it and water filled the ship making it heavier and it SANK??
I have some simmilar but diffrent idea. So my idea is Modern Cruise ships are prepared for Cross Flooding: Left comp. sinks and to make left list less they sink right one. So idk how tere are many options(like bc of Storm, by terrorists) theese doors were closed. So it happens: -bomb explodes on the port(left) side -water floods some food storage and preparing areas on the port side -Martin spots the ship slowly tilting "The ship is sinking" -water gets to more open port areas -ship with a lot of water, people, no stabilizers and things falling capisize -it does is faster and faster bc of all weight on port -ship is turned over -water that ship have collected Goes into some corridors and areas up the water level -windows, doors and other holes gets more water -ship sinks by bow
Is it just me, or am I not the only one who really likes that small, realistic and detailed addition of the big staircase falling and breaking apart when the ship capsizes in the 2006 version? You can see it on the left during that shot of the people sliding on the ceiling and smashing into the huge chandeliers
I actually never noticed that detail until my five viewing of the movie. Just goes to show how much care and detail the crew put into the production design...
@@eestiestoniamapping2891 1972 still has a rogue wave, they just didn't have the effects to keep it one strong wave before hitting the ship. They didn't have the technology to keep the wave going before it collapsed, before it hit the ship.
I stand by my first viewing of the The Poseidon Adventure in 1972. It was in one of the Original CineDome Theaters. These beautifully constructed, round, dome shaped cinemas, were designed to showcase 70MM, roadshow pics like Its a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World. True lovers of cinema will understand this. Seeing Irwin Allen's epic on a wrap around screen with sound coming from all directions at the age of 7 cannot be forgotten. It was done first and best with the 1972 Original.
@@zhackiethedog It actually happen in real life, Because the movie is based on the RMS Queen Mary, Because she got hit by a rouge wave which almost tipped her over but thankfully it did not tip over like the Poseidon ship!
Uh... maybe better practical effects for inside, but not better effects externally. Unless you're referring to the made for TV movie on the upper right,... but that one didn't even have a wave, it was a terrorist bomb that flipped the ship... yeah, cringe
to be moderately fair the 2005 film/miniseries was made for tv, which is the nice way of saying that the film was made on the budget of around 2 and a half biscuits. still doesn't make the capsizing scene and such any better though.
Crypt Gamer the 1972. Si the best versión without doubt is 1972 t because is the original and they do not have digital efect in pc and the aré real great actores the 2005 te versión was poorly actúa red and a bad script. The 2006 versión hace a good ship But it have some ridiculous scenes like passing a very small duct .
The 2006 film changed many plot points to adapt it to the modern age, as well as great effects. It made it clear that it was a new spin on the original whilst still being something totally new. The 2005 version made bad decisions like the pool water not doing anything whilst the ship capsized and replacing the giant wave with a bunch of terrorists. In many parts of the film they tried to explain the logic but it just made it more clear that even the writers and producers weren’t properly sure how they were going to explain the capsize of a cruise ship over a singular hole in the port stern end of the hull.
I’ve only watched the 2006 one, but I can see that the 1972 one wasn’t bad at all, since everything was basically all models, even though some of the models didn’t look right because of how small they were. The 2005 one had some of the worst cgi I’ve ever seen and the 2006 movie had good cgi, for its time.
For you who don't know, the remake of the Poseidon Adventure is actually called Poseidon with Kurt Russell. The Poseidon Adventure made in 2005 is some strange version made for TV that is nothing like the original story. BTW I liked the remake just as much which I rarely say. I don't know if they developed the characters quite as much but I didn't miss all the complaining and whining in the original even though I loved it.
I know in the 2006 film the part at 3:38 is overshadowed by the absolute mayhem of the ship being engulfed by the rogue wave but man, that part of the score sounds amazing and there's so many instruments that you don't hear because of the chaos that's going on. I wish they bumped up the volume for the score just a little up so that you can appreciate it more.
The 2005 version completely defied the laws of physics. The ship shouldn’t have capsized from one hole, it should have gone down with a list to either port or starboard depending on which side the bomb blew a hole into.
Actually when the explosion happened,the explosion caused the ship to shift from side to side constantly,and when the shaking stopped,the ship was already listing to the side a bit so it was too late.and when the explosion occurred, it also destroyed her ballast tanks. If you don’t know what are those. Ballast tanks are tanks on each side of every ship, the tanks are filled with water, so when the ship list to the side. The water transfer to the other tanks to keep it stable. After the tanks were destroyed the ship started listing to the side. Not to mention that the event happened during a storm, so the waves helped the ship to capsize. So the 2005 is accurate. The 1972 and 2006 defies the laws of physics because they were both hit by a rogue wave. Not a tsunami. In real life, rogue waves can’t capsize a ship even big and fast waves still can’t do it. It would only do significant damage to the ship.
my idea of why and how Poseidon from 2005 have capisized is(still kinda makes no sense but nvm and who cares): Modern Cruise ships are prepared for Cross Flooding: Left comp. sinks and to make left list less they sink right one. So idk how tere are many options(like bc of Storm, by terrorists) these doors were closed. Also stabilizers were hiden bc they wanted to go fast. So it happens: -bomb explodes on the port(left) side -water floods some food storage and preparing areas on the port side, also probably there is some damage in ballast tanks -Martin spots the ship slowly tilting "The ship is sinking" -water gets to more open port areas -ship with a lot of water, people, no stabilizers and things falling capisize -it does is faster and faster bc of all weight on port, ship loses its stability -ship is turned over -water that ship have collected Goes into some corridors and areas up the water level -windows, doors and other holes breaks under the preassure, gets more water -ship sinks by bow You can give your ideas replying to this comment
I've just read the book. Man, what an epic ride!!, not gonna lie, a very amazing experience. For those who haven't read it yet: the book is way, WAY MORE intense and darker than the films. Be ready to shed tears in the last few chapters, specially in the ending when they get rescued. Definitely would read again and again, one of my favourites.
I saw the original at the drive-in at age 7. I loved it. I didn't know any of these actors except for Reverend John he was doing Crest commercials at the time and I would see him all the time, then I saw him in the movie. I thought he was going to change his mind and follow the party up. I think the part that hit me most is when they were in shaft alley, Mr. Rogo looks back at the engine room, the music playing, thinking of Linda. I was thinking of the captain and also about, it didn't seem long they were all having fun.
Great split screen comparison! All 3 have their merits but the 1972 version is the best. They lack the CGI technology but the cast - some Oscar winners - really knew how to act. The 2005 was an NBC for TV version where they use some of the book's characters not use in 1972 (e.g. Susan & Robin's parents, stoker Kemal) - however, in 2005 Manny Rosen ha alreay passe, Mike Rogo was the sea marshall - his wife was @ home. Since they were unsure of the veracy of a rogue wave or tsunami turning over a ship they change the cause to a bunch of terrorists who were suicie bombers. It also containe a large international cast & you got a lot @ a bunch of behin the scenes action missing from the other 2 films by the folks fixing to rescue them, people in the kitchen, etc. NBC use again a couple secons of eck shots in their 2006 miniseries "10.5 Apocalypse". The 2006 version has fine CGI affects but the character names were entirely ifferent, no preacher & no Christmas tree; also the characters were more self centere than in the other 2. A fun fact: Pamela Sue Martin (Susan in the 1972 film who later was the original Fallon on "ynasty") was aske to reprise her role in the 2006 film (which ha her on screen brother Goron Thomson who was Aam on "ynasty - in the 2006 film he was Jay & sat @ Richar reyfuss' character's table - on screen for just a few minutes, however) but she vetoe it. The largest change is that unlike the novel & the 2005 & 2006 versions, the 1972 left the boat still afloat @ the close - the better to enable a (lousy) 1979 sequel to occur.
Ikr, it capsizes by a bomb on the 2005 version and its absolute crap! The 2006 version was ok. I mean it respected many parts of the 1972 version but too much cgi, the 1972 version was PERFECT! It respected the book in all ways! Except for the sinking..
@@camilajimenez480the 2005 version is accurate. The ship had an explosion on her stern which caused the ship to rock a lot from left to right. The ship’s stabilizers were also off to get extra knots. And the ship weighs 136.000 TONS making it heavier than the adora magic city. The ship was also in a bad weather, and the ship was TOP-HEAVY making the ship unstable.other ships capsized like the 2005 Poseidon like, costa Concordia, MS Estonia, sea diamond, Sewol ferry, ETC. And if you think that the 1972 & 2006 makes sense, it actually doesn’t. The 1972 was hit by a tsunami which makes no sense because tsunamis form near land and costal areas. And a tsunami can’t capsize ships, especially Queen Mary. The 2006 was hit by a rogue wave, but rogue waves only appear during a storm, but there was just a clear ocean instead. Rogue waves also can’t get that big because a rogue wave is only small. And just to make your head boil, google “can rogue waves capsize ships?” OR “Can tsunamis capsize ships?” And both are a no for google. Also most ships had capsize by a hole and not by ocean. And before I finish, if you google about Poseidon 2006, google itself calls it a “HORRIBLE REMAKE”.
The 2006 one is the most brutal one. At least in the 1972 version the ship didn't fully sink, so there was a possibility that at least a few more people could've survived!
sebastian banguis if you watch the whole thing, especially parts like the ballroom scene in the 72’ one, there’s a much deeper level of realism, due to lack of CGI; so some parts of the original film can feel pretty intense and unnerving. It appears very close to what a real disaster caught on film would look like today; and it’s pretty scary actually.
All ships ranked (my opinion) S :: poseidon A : queen mary, queen elizabeth, queen elizabeth 2, queen mary 2 B : queen victoria, carpathia, olympic, wilhelm gustloff C: titanic, empress of ireland , EL FARO , mauretania , aquatania D: stockholm, andrea doria , storstad , lusitania, britain E: dona paz, vector , britannic , lancastria F: le joola, Not rank: costa concordia Find which one you disagree
Fun fact, the Poseidon model from the 2006 film has the record for the most detailed cgi model in history. The model has a full interior with decorations and such. It was nominated for an Oscar in 2006 for best cgi because of the detailed water physics and such but lost to pirates of the Caribbean.
I like how in the 2006 version they had the boad basically be the queen Mary 2. Modernizing the original story but still being faithful to the basis of the novel.
The 2006 version has better special/visual effects, due to the technology at the time. The ship in 1972 was modeled after the Queen Mary. The ship in 2006 was done with computer generated imagery.
What a bloody BRILLIANT idea! Shows exactly why the 1973 original is the best followed by 2006. This was the original and the best of the Irwin Allen disaster legacy and one of the original big disaster films which sparked off it's own seperate legacy when 'Towering Inferno' and 'Cassandra Crossing' were to follow. 2006 - Kurt Russell and Richard Dreyfus were both strong characters and brought loads to the film which also put Emmy Rossum on the path to fame. Compared with the 2005 mini-series which is lost amidst it's half baked attempt to depict the other two and shoddy acting. Why did they even bother aware that the 2006 remake was just around the corner??!
It was originally gonna sink completely via a explosion in the middle of the ship causing it to rapidly flood, but they couldn’t afford the effects because they ran out of money. Still happy with the finished result though. Beyond the Poseidon Adventure is pure shit.
@@jakezillaofficial They did film the explosion but the model didn't look realistic enough for the director's taste so they removed it and re-used the shot with some darkening in the sequel.
Here is a summary of what *MOST* People think: 2005 version is pointless(which it is, it sucks) 1972 version is good, great cast, the original, great for its time but is still worth watching 2006 version has the best visual experience, modern technology, and all out the best movie( that’s my opinion)
Jo Alodia Sanga you can tell they all kind of play on each other as they each include a scene of someone falling from a height onto something like the 2006 version shows a woman falling from an elevator onto a glass roof
I just watched all 3 back to back to back. Thoughts on all 3 1972: Honestly as much as I don’t want to admit it, probably the best out of the 3.....as far as feeling like a true disaster movie. Definitely feel a sense of struggle amongst the characters, a fight to survive. 2005: I don’t understand why this version is so poorly rated. Probably my personal favorite out of the 3. Lots of Character Development, Lots of Sub Plots. One of the things I really like is that the movie shows all the stuff that happens off the ship. Definitely a memorable cast of characters. when I hear “The Poseidon Adventure” the 2005 version is the version I think of. 2006: I don’t want to not like this version, but when compared to the other 2, probably my least favorite. There is only about 10-15 minutes into the movie before the ship turns over. Very little Character Development, so in my opinion none of the characters are very memorable, and don’t give me a reason to root for their survival. So my rankings: 1) 2005 2) 1972 3) 2006
I don't really think that the 2005 TV movie is a very good movie. I have some nostalgia for it and i do like it. But i gotta admit, it's a bad movie. The first half i think is pretty good. We get introduced to the characters, and Marshall Rogo. They get developed. We get to know what the terrorists onboard are up to. and it isn't as bad of an idea as people make it out be. The idea is actually very decently executed. As well as the idea of a Sea Marshall onboard to note unusual behavior. He suspects there are terrorists on board and if there are, he is going to stop them from doing any harm to the passengers and of course the ship. Right as the terrorists are setting up bombs, Rogo already knows and are after them. but there are 4 terrorists, and Rogo has only one other person to help him get rid of them. The terrorists win and manage to blow up a big hole in the ship. After the explosion occured, Captain Gallico is shot after trying to investigate the bridge and dies. Now the ship starts taking on water and capsizes, which appearently violates the rules of physics. But it probably happend because the terrorists had turned off the ship's stabilizers. After the ship capsizes, the characters make a choice to climb up to the bottom of the ship which is now the top and Part 1 ends. The movie was decent up until now... ugh. Part 2 begins with the survivor group trying to find their way out of the boat. Walking trough halls. Climbing up stairs. And going trough a kitchen. And we get introduced to the rescue stations. The idea sounds good on paper but not in this movie, it took me really out of the action and fills up a quarter of the goddamn movie. Our characters go trough some more challenges and make it up to the bottom of the ship. The massive hole is right outside the people who made it up there. But got trapped by a bunch of objects blocking their escape. the rescuers are right on the other side and ignites a fireball to hopefully get rid of the mess. But it only made it worse. They go to the engine room and have to cross a catwalk to make it the other side of the ship. They find a bomb and right when somebody is about to sacrifice themselves for the others to create a big explosion to create a big hole in the ship, the dude survives the explosion that occured like a meter away from him somehow. He earned the survival badge but it would have been cool to see him sacrifice himself tho. The survivors make it out of the ship alive. The Poseidon sinks while the survivors watch and the movie ends. The first half was pretty decent. The second half was not. First. The rescue stations takes you really out of the action and honestly ruins the claustrophobic feel. Second. The people of the survivor group except for 2 people and 3 crew members are completely useless and they don't earn their survival in this movie. The 3 only useful crew members are the first ones to die. It's wierd how all the crew members die but not the passengers. And all the passengers except for 1 lives. The only useful people (The Crew) of the survival groups are the ones to die and they did not deserve their deaths, it also makes the deaths predictable. and all of the passengers except for 1 make it out alive. and none of them except for Rogo and August Smith earned their survival in my opinion. It's a bad movie. But it does have it's moments. sorry for the long ass comment lol. My rankings: nr3. Poseidon 2006. Very rushed. God awful characters. Impressive CGI but nothing else to praise about it. (1/5) nr2. The Poseidon Adventure 2005. Decent characters but they do nothing for the group. Good first half. Bad second half. (2/5) nr1. The Poseidon Adventure 1972. Good characters who actually do some things for the group. Good plot. Good Action. Good practical effects. Good Drama. = Great movie. (5/5)
The 2006 version is more faithful to the 1972 film, both capsize after being hit by a rogue wave, but in the 2006 version the Poseidon sinks into the depths of the Atlantic Ocean, while in the 1972 film the ship is still afloat and is destroyed in its sequel.
So my idea for 2005 capisizing is Modern Cruise ships are prepared for Cross Flooding: Left comp. sinks and to make left list less they sink right one. So idk how tere are many options(like bc of Storm, by terrorists) theese doors were closed. So it happens: -bomb explodes on the port(left) side -water floods some food storage and preparing areas on the port side -Martin spots the ship slowly tilting "The ship is sinking" -water gets to more open port areas -ship with a lot of water, people, no stabilizers and things falling capisize -it does is faster and faster bc of all weight on port -ship is turned over -water that ship have collected Goes into some corridors and areas up the water level -windows, doors and other hole gets more water -ship sinks by bow
Clinton doesitRAW I agree, and it doesn't have too many decorations and slopey curves like 2006 version nor does it have the Titanic-like, older and not-as-clean look of the 1972 version.
I like the 1972 and 2005 versions, because they has soo many similarities, glad in the 2006 version have soo many differences. My favourite character is Belle Rosen in 2005 version ( Sylvia Syms ) because she is a great hero for the others
Some scenes of the '72 version were filmed on the Queen Mary in Long Beach, CA. Some scenes in the cinematic '05 were filmed on board the Queen Mary 2, the world largest, longest and most luxurious ocean liner now in service.
Ocean liners pretty much were replaced by aircraft in the 60s, many old ocean liners were converted or dismantled. The 1972 film follows that story, RMS Atlantis now being sent to her final place in Athens, a scrapyard. The ship's name was changed after she went out of service.
The TV version is awful, but I took their plot choice for the capsize a lot better after finding out it's not actually a rogue wave in the novel, but the underwater sism.
the posiden adventure was inspired by the almost capsizing queen mary on one of her voyages a giant rouge wave struck the ship by i belive the port or starboard side and she listed the opposite side extremely bad that if it listed another 3 degrees she would have capsized losing the fastest ship from her time
@@chuckschafer942nuh uh. Paul Gallico expierienced it so he wrote a novel "The Poseidon Adventure" in 1969. After that Irwin Allen made movie that did pretty well so he said to Paul to write "Beyond the Poseidon Adventure" Irwin made sequel but it $uck€d.
If the bridge crew of the 2006 Poseidon managed to bring the bow towards the wave the ship would have survived. Nevertheless I like the 2006 movie out of all.
Thank you! You succeeded though hard work in matching the 3 versions perfectly. I saw the original in repeat way too many times in theaters at 12 years old. I walked out after the flip sequence. If they ever do a new remake, stick to the book script, get the top cast, make the FX look realistic and MOST OF ALL, set it retro in the 70’s. An old ship, last voyage, and faulty realistic communication.
I try not to compare the original and Poseidon, because one had a much smaller budget, and the other had $160 million at its disposal. I love both, though, and the acting in both is really good, for me.
2006 is my personal favourite. Can respect 1972 for paving the way but the effects/soundtrack/sets in 2006 were glorious to experience and very underrated imo.
Poseidon 2005 sank during the day, so she can survive second longest. Poseidon 2006 just sank in the night, so she can survive least longest. Unless its the night after the ship capsized, and we didn't know because we were trapped in the ship for so long.
1972 did stay afloat until the sun rose and based on the sequel beyond the Poseidon adventure a salvager and his crew went in to find money but found more survivors and they took more than an hour so 1972 Poseidon stayed afloat the longest
sebastian banguis yes, Ms Poseidon sank during the night it capsized because I'm pretty sure it was shorter then 1972 version and you obviously could see it was sinking showing the ballroom flood the main lobby flood and when the hallway where Elena was flooded so that totally made it sink faster.
The 1972 is best. I thought Gene Hackman and Ernest Borgnine worked really well together. The cast had good chemistry and there were personal story lines from different cast members. They actually cared about each other which is rare to find in movies these days. Reflection of the times we live in now.The stories are Gene Hackman, the disgruntled priest, Ernest Borgnite, the police officer, who loved his wife who was a former prostitute, the children whose parents never paid attention to them but gave them extravagant trips, the lonely middled aged man, the Jewish couple trying to go to Isreal to see their first grandson, and the young woman who, with her brother who died, tried to make it big as a singer. This was also Leslie Neilson's better performance, before he was cast into comedy. The story was well told and the ship flip scene was the best in movie at that time. The man falling on the big stained glass will always be iconic. Sometimes, movies being too technical, can destroy a simple story. But, in my opinion, with all technical and visual scenes, (which people nowadays are drawn to) and the cast wasn't believable. The script was bad and there was no real story line. Some movies should be left alone. This was one of them. The upside down ship movie logo was more creative, too.
The only thing thats really good from the 2006 is stuff like the capsizing scene with its CGI. We barely get to spend any time with the characters before the wave hits and its just a action movie filled with unlikeable characters that we only spent 5 minutes with beforehand. The 2005 was bad especially because of the terrible terrorist plot that replaces the iconic wave. Even with that, the movie spends more time with the characters then the 2006 one but I am not even sure if that helps it at all especially since some of the ones in the 1972 version are flat out removed. The 1972 movie outperforms both of the remakes with its plot and it overall makes us feel more attached to the characters. It introduces the characters makes clear of their motivations and then floods the ship and really is just a classic.
1972 is indeed best,... but 2006 was still better than 2005, even though the only thing worth it in the film is the capsizing scene. 2005 doesn't even really have that. Oh, and lets also not forget that Steve Guttenberg's character follows the marks the first group left on the walls,... even though the flooding was following right behind the first group... so what happened to all the flooded areas?
DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE 3 POSEIDON SHIPS DIFFERENCE #1: SHIP APPEARANCE 1972 - This ship resembles Titanic and Queen Mary. 2005 - Modern-looking cruise ship, especially at night it looks cool. 2006: Tbh, this is not a modern cruise ship. But still it looks decent. DIFFERENCE #2: HOW THEY CAPSIZE 1972: Rogue Wave 2005: Terrorist Attack/Bomb 2006: Rogue Wave DIFFERENCE #3: EXPLOSIONS 1972: Often happen while escaping. Idk why.. 2005: No explosions, only before capsizing and after escaping. 2006: Occured frequent explosions in engine room. DIFFERENCE #4: HOW THEY SINK 1972: Didn't sink 2005: Sank by upside down motion 2006: Flips over and sinks DIFFERENCE #5: AMOUNT OF VIEWS 1972: Deserved a lot of views 2005: Less views compared to 1972 and 2006 2006: Also deserved a lot of views MY SHIP THOUGHTS: 1972: Honestly, I like this version, my favorite. Decent looking ship on the inside, but old looking on the outside. Although people blame that it's low quality, I still like it. (7.5/10) 2005: Probably not my favorite. I love the ship design, however, this ship completely defied physics. When the bomb exploded, it caused the ship to flip upside down, but that's not enough force to do that. It doesn't make sense! (4/10) 2006: This ship is very cool! It really looks realistic, more like "hyper-realistic". The underwater scenes here are very eerie tho, I like the eerie vibes here. (9/10) Tell me at the replies what else I miss!
The original is based off a time when the Queen Mary almost was sunk by a rogue wave (it was like 3 degrees away from fully rolling over) which is why they used her for the original movie
They aren't both Hollywood productions. The 2006 movie was already announced/in the making, so they decided to produce a made-for-TV adaptation to gain some viewers. And I, to this day, think that the 2005 movie isn't bad. It doesn't look phantastic, but it sure as hell has a better storyline and more interesting characters than the 2006 version.
The reason why the ship never sank in the 1972 version is due to the fact they wanted a sequel. Which they had in fact made called beyond the posiedon adventure. Basically yeah bad idea
@@milesprower2944 thats sad, I wish they could of slowly pulled the ship underwater somewhere with like a string or something, at least something you can on the production crew.
Wow! Very interesting. I've seen the 1972 and the TV re-make; haven't seen the movie remake but have seen portions. "The Poseidon Adventure" of 1972 is the one for me. I was 11 when I saw it in a theater and I lived it more than watched it and I now have shelves of ocean liner books! Actually none of the dramatizations are very close to the book though the book could have been difficult to put on film because a lot of its content is in the minds of the main characters. Too Paul Gallico never gave a date for the event but from what I've read in "The Poseidon Adventure" and from I know about the history of ocean liners, I would say that "The Poseidon Adventure" could have taken place as far back as 1964.
To anyone saying the 2006 version as a modern cruise ship, you're wrong. It is explained that in the 2006 film, it is a ocean liner just doing its usual route from UK to New York City much like the old ocean liners did. RMS Queen Mary 2 is considered modern-looking, but it is operating as a ocean liner. The 2005 version is the only one considered as a cruise ship, the 1972 film explains the ship was RMS Atlantis, also a ocean liner showing its old age before retiring her in service.

@@oskaranddaniel7582 Wow, the emoji is a really descriptive way of projecting yourself.
The 1972 Poseidon movie was based on the RMS Queen Mary’s tendency to roll. On one occasion, she listed (I forgot where) to a 46° angle
Again, after having just seen your Titanic side-by-side, this is pure brilliance (the '72 version having been my favorite picture for decades now). Your work is very, very much appreciated, Matt!
CrashingCrockery WAIT I THOUGHT YOU WERE DEAD
You're alive!
I think why the 2005 Poseidon sank is because after the explosion, water rushed into the hull, causing a list. The list worsened by the weight of the interiors and passengers shifting to the port side of the ship, which also shifted the center of gravity to the port side, creating a chain reaction that ultimately caused the entire ship to capsize. The same thing (kinda) happened on the MS Estonia, where water rushed in from the detached visor from the bow and only made worse by the raging Baltic Sea, which also made the entire thing capsize and sink a few minutes later, killing hundreds of people in the process.
Don’t call me a nerd.
Edit: the Estonia’s capsize happened in stages, where the ship listed gradually to the port or starboard side, and not instantaneous like the Poseidon trio.
Nerd.
Why does it says that there’s 2 replies when in reality there’s only one. Wtf???
@@AmtrakCitiesSprinter64the person who commented this whole paragraph is the replie
or maybe because a TSUNAMI hit the ship?? and the weight of the water pushed it over and capsized it and water filled the ship making it heavier and it SANK??
I have some simmilar but diffrent idea.
So my idea is
Modern Cruise ships are prepared for Cross Flooding: Left comp. sinks and to make left list less they sink right one. So idk how tere are many options(like bc of Storm, by terrorists) theese doors were closed. So it happens:
-bomb explodes on the port(left) side
-water floods some food storage and preparing areas on the port side
-Martin spots the ship slowly tilting
"The ship is sinking"
-water gets to more open port areas
-ship with a lot of water, people, no stabilizers and things falling capisize
-it does is faster and faster bc of all weight on port
-ship is turned over
-water that ship have collected Goes into some corridors and areas up the water level
-windows, doors and other holes gets more water
-ship sinks by bow
Is it just me, or am I not the only one who really likes that small, realistic and detailed addition of the big staircase falling and breaking apart when the ship capsizes in the 2006 version? You can see it on the left during that shot of the people sliding on the ceiling and smashing into the huge chandeliers
I actually never noticed that detail until my five viewing of the movie. Just goes to show how much care and detail the crew put into the production design...
Roland Latore Speed Yes! Someone who agrees with me!... well, you and the people who liked my comment! XD

@@eestiestoniamapping2891 I'm sorry, but wtf is a rapid wave?
@@eestiestoniamapping2891 1972 still has a rogue wave, they just didn't have the effects to keep it one strong wave before hitting the ship. They didn't have the technology to keep the wave going before it collapsed, before it hit the ship.

I stand by my first viewing of the The Poseidon Adventure in 1972. It was in one of the Original CineDome Theaters. These beautifully constructed, round, dome shaped cinemas, were designed to showcase 70MM, roadshow pics like Its a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World. True lovers of cinema will understand this. Seeing Irwin Allen's epic on a wrap around screen with sound coming from all directions at the age of 7 cannot be forgotten. It was done first and best with the 1972 Original.
Fun fact: the Poseidon from 2006 has the Record of best CGI in history.

Somehow.
When the version From 1972 has better effects than something from 2005, you done messed up
dontlookatender I know right. I watched the 1972 one today and was so impressed
Poseidon 2005 Las same the 1969 boom
Uh... maybe better practical effects for inside, but not better effects externally. Unless you're referring to the made for TV movie on the upper right,... but that one didn't even have a wave, it was a terrorist bomb that flipped the ship... yeah, cringe
I mean 2006 2005 1975 has other ships
to be moderately fair the 2005 film/miniseries was made for tv, which is the nice way of saying that the film was made on the budget of around 2 and a half biscuits. still doesn't make the capsizing scene and such any better though.
The 1972 is shot beautifully just the 2006 has the advantage of better technology all in all both great movies worth watching
Yes, that is always important to compare the special effect to the time the films were made.
Crypt Gamer the 1972. Si the best versión without doubt is 1972 t because is the original and they do not have digital efect in pc and the aré real great actores the 2005 te versión was poorly actúa red and a bad script. The 2006 versión hace a good ship But it have some ridiculous scenes like passing a very small duct .
that also had the queen mary on there.
The 2006 film changed many plot points to adapt it to the modern age, as well as great effects.
It made it clear that it was a new spin on the original whilst still being something totally new.
The 2005 version made bad decisions like the pool water not doing anything whilst the ship capsized and replacing the giant wave with a bunch of terrorists. In many parts of the film they tried to explain the logic but it just made it more clear that even the writers and producers weren’t properly sure how they were going to explain the capsize of a cruise ship over a singular hole in the port stern end of the hull.
The 2005 was god beyond awful what were the creators thinking with the plot and animation?
I like the 1972 and 2006 versions because they made sense.
Agreed
Also, the 2006 Poseidon was most likely based on the Queen Mary 2, just like how the original Queen Mary was used in the original movie.
I like the 1972 and 2006 versions because they’re awesome and the 2005 is beyond awful
Me too i like 1972 and 2006 are more cool and genial and the both ships was capzise bye a big wave, 2005 is the most worst of the 3 movies
I’ve only watched the 2006 one, but I can see that the 1972 one wasn’t bad at all, since everything was basically all models, even though some of the models didn’t look right because of how small they were. The 2005 one had some of the worst cgi I’ve ever seen and the 2006 movie had good cgi, for its time.
For you who don't know, the remake of the Poseidon Adventure is actually called Poseidon with Kurt Russell. The Poseidon Adventure made in 2005 is some strange version made for TV that is nothing like the original story. BTW I liked the remake just as much which I rarely say. I don't know if they developed the characters quite as much but I didn't miss all the complaining and whining in the original even though I loved it.
I feel like people complaining less makes more sense because they literally didn't have time to😭
I know in the 2006 film the part at 3:38 is overshadowed by the absolute mayhem of the ship being engulfed by the rogue wave but man, that part of the score sounds amazing and there's so many instruments that you don't hear because of the chaos that's going on. I wish they bumped up the volume for the score just a little up so that you can appreciate it more.
Summary:
1975 is a calmer movie
2005 is nonsense, a violent kid’s imagination to be exact
2006 is hell, even scarier than some horror films
I almost thought the 2006 was a horror movie. I had to check IMDb.

@@ZackAviator What?
Of course it does, it holds a Guinness World Record for most detailed CGI model
Wolfgang Peterson's last " boat " more. He just passed away .
The 2005 version completely defied the laws of physics. The ship shouldn’t have capsized from one hole, it should have gone down with a list to either port or starboard depending on which side the bomb blew a hole into.
1969/2005 boom
...it doesnt nessesarily need to follow physics.
Cast:how many physics laws you wanna ignore?
Director:YES
Actually when the explosion happened,the explosion caused the ship to shift from side to side constantly,and when the shaking stopped,the ship was already listing to the side a bit so it was too late.and when the explosion occurred, it also destroyed her ballast tanks. If you don’t know what are those. Ballast tanks are tanks on each side of every ship, the tanks are filled with water, so when the ship list to the side. The water transfer to the other tanks to keep it stable. After the tanks were destroyed the ship started listing to the side. Not to mention that the event happened during a storm, so the waves helped the ship to capsize. So the 2005 is accurate.
The 1972 and 2006 defies the laws of physics because they were both hit by a rogue wave. Not a tsunami. In real life, rogue waves can’t capsize a ship even big and fast waves still can’t do it. It would only do significant damage to the ship.
my idea of why and how Poseidon from 2005 have capisized is(still kinda makes no sense but nvm and who cares):
Modern Cruise ships are prepared for Cross Flooding: Left comp. sinks and to make left list less they sink right one. So idk how tere are many options(like bc of Storm, by terrorists) these doors were closed. Also stabilizers were hiden bc they wanted to go fast. So it happens:
-bomb explodes on the port(left) side
-water floods some food storage and preparing areas on the port side, also probably there is some damage in ballast tanks
-Martin spots the ship slowly tilting
"The ship is sinking"
-water gets to more open port areas
-ship with a lot of water, people, no stabilizers and things falling capisize
-it does is faster and faster bc of all weight on port, ship loses its stability
-ship is turned over
-water that ship have collected Goes into some corridors and areas up the water level
-windows, doors and other holes breaks under the preassure, gets more water
-ship sinks by bow

The Original Poseidon 1969
Sonia Doză de Curiozitate No It Was 1972
I mean 2005 is Poseidon but different
2006 wins hands down. But the original is still brilliant
I've just read the book. Man, what an epic ride!!, not gonna lie, a very amazing experience. For those who haven't read it yet: the book is way, WAY MORE intense and darker than the films. Be ready to shed tears in the last few chapters, specially in the ending when they get rescued. Definitely would read again and again, one of my favourites.
I saw the original at the drive-in at age 7. I loved it. I didn't know any of these actors except for Reverend John he was doing Crest commercials at the time and I would see him all the time, then I saw him in the movie. I thought he was going to change his mind and follow the party up. I think the part that hit me most is when they were in shaft alley, Mr. Rogo looks back at the engine room, the music playing, thinking of Linda. I was thinking of the captain and also about, it didn't seem long they were all having fun.
The dramatic music paired with Red Button "Running" is priceless.
Nothing compares to the original 1972 Poseidon Adventure
I've literally compared TWO things to the 1972 Poseidon Adventure...
/joke
So agree with you. I watched it again today
'72 version was the best. Great cast, real stunts and no CGI effects.
Totally agreed
Original Poseidon 1 the Boyng The Poseidon 1969
Great split screen comparison! All 3 have their merits but the 1972 version is the best. They lack the CGI technology but the cast - some Oscar winners - really knew how to act. The 2005 was an NBC for TV version where they use some of the book's characters not use in 1972 (e.g. Susan & Robin's parents, stoker Kemal) - however, in 2005 Manny Rosen ha alreay passe, Mike Rogo was the sea marshall - his wife was @ home. Since they were unsure of the veracy of a rogue wave or tsunami turning over a ship they change the cause to a bunch of terrorists who were suicie bombers. It also containe a large international cast & you got a lot @ a bunch of behin the scenes action missing from the other 2 films by the folks fixing to rescue them, people in the kitchen, etc. NBC use again a couple secons of eck shots in their 2006 miniseries "10.5 Apocalypse". The 2006 version has fine CGI affects but the character names were entirely ifferent, no preacher & no Christmas tree; also the characters were more self centere than in the other 2. A fun fact: Pamela Sue Martin (Susan in the 1972 film who later was the original Fallon on "ynasty") was aske to reprise her role in the 2006 film (which ha her on screen brother Goron Thomson who was Aam on "ynasty - in the 2006 film he was Jay & sat @ Richar reyfuss' character's table - on screen for just a few minutes, however) but she vetoe it. The largest change is that unlike the novel & the 2005 & 2006 versions, the 1972 left the boat still afloat @ the close - the better to enable a (lousy) 1979 sequel to occur.

A bomb is not enough to capsize Poseidon
2005 ver sucks
Which is your favorite Poseidon movie
@@camilajimenez480the 2005 version is accurate.
The ship had an explosion on her stern which caused the ship to rock a lot from left to right. The ship’s stabilizers were also off to get extra knots. And the ship weighs 136.000 TONS making it heavier than the adora magic city. The ship was also in a bad weather, and the ship was TOP-HEAVY making the ship unstable.other ships capsized like the 2005 Poseidon like, costa Concordia, MS Estonia, sea diamond, Sewol ferry, ETC.
And if you think that the 1972 & 2006 makes sense, it actually doesn’t. The 1972 was hit by a tsunami which makes no sense because tsunamis form near land and costal areas. And a tsunami can’t capsize ships, especially Queen Mary.
The 2006 was hit by a rogue wave, but rogue waves only appear during a storm, but there was just a clear ocean instead. Rogue waves also can’t get that big because a rogue wave is only small. And just to make your head boil, google
“can rogue waves capsize ships?”
OR
“Can tsunamis capsize ships?”
And both are a no for google. Also most ships had capsize by a hole and not by ocean. And before I finish, if you google about Poseidon 2006, google itself calls it a “HORRIBLE REMAKE”.

At least in the 1972 version the ship didn't fully sink, so there was a possibility that at least a few more people could've survived!
sebastian banguis I guess more people survived. But their story is lame (Beyond the Poseidon Adventure)
sebastian banguis if you watch the whole thing, especially parts like the ballroom scene in the 72’ one, there’s a much deeper level of realism, due to lack of CGI; so some parts of the original film can feel pretty intense and unnerving. It appears very close to what a real disaster caught on film would look like today; and it’s pretty scary actually.
Ten people survived 1972. 6 were rescued in the original and 4 more were rescued in the sequel.

I like how in the 2006 version they had the boad basically be the queen Mary 2. Modernizing the original story but still being faithful to the basis of the novel.
Never knew they made a 2005 version
It's a good movie though. Unfortunately not many people know it because it is a TV production
mee too
It was rather dreadful. You missed nothing.
Just because you didn't like it doesn't mean that it's completely bad. It's not a masterpiece, but still has more re-watch value than the 2006 movie.
Me to
Even though the 2006 version had fantastic CGI effects for its time, for me nothing will ever overshadow the effects of the original!
The original is original
The 2005 is wierd
The latest is just dew adjustments to the original
The 2006 version has better special/visual effects, due to the technology at the time. The ship in 1972 was modeled after the Queen Mary. The ship in 2006 was done with computer generated imagery.
What a bloody BRILLIANT idea! Shows exactly why the 1973 original is the best followed by 2006. This was the original and the best of the Irwin Allen disaster legacy and one of the original big disaster films which sparked off it's own seperate legacy when 'Towering Inferno' and 'Cassandra Crossing' were to follow. 2006 - Kurt Russell and Richard Dreyfus were both strong characters and brought loads to the film which also put Emmy Rossum on the path to fame. Compared with the 2005 mini-series which is lost amidst it's half baked attempt to depict the other two and shoddy acting. Why did they even bother aware that the 2006 remake was just around the corner??!
My Problem With The Original Is *THE SHIP DID NOT SINK* until the sequel
Logic!
Look at "Beyond the Poseidon Adventure" (1978) trailer and the ship sunk (exploded)
Ya but at least more people survived.
It was originally gonna sink completely via a explosion in the middle of the ship causing it to rapidly flood, but they couldn’t afford the effects because they ran out of money. Still happy with the finished result though. Beyond the Poseidon Adventure is pure shit.
@@jakezillaofficial They did film the explosion but the model didn't look realistic enough for the director's taste so they removed it and re-used the shot with some darkening in the sequel.

to me they look liked the imperil star destoyer.
2005
I just watched all 3 back to back to back. Thoughts on all 3
1972: Honestly as much as I don’t want to admit it, probably the best out of the 3.....as far as feeling like a true disaster movie. Definitely feel a sense of struggle amongst the characters, a fight to survive.
2005: I don’t understand why this version is so poorly rated. Probably my personal favorite out of the 3. Lots of Character Development, Lots of Sub Plots. One of the things I really like is that the movie shows all the stuff that happens off the ship. Definitely a memorable cast of characters. when I hear “The Poseidon Adventure” the 2005 version is the version I think of.
2006: I don’t want to not like this version, but when compared to the other 2, probably my least favorite. There is only about 10-15 minutes into the movie before the ship turns over. Very little Character Development, so in my opinion none of the characters are very memorable, and don’t give me a reason to root for their survival.
So my rankings:
1) 2005
2) 1972
3) 2006
Finally, somebody agrees with me about how good the 2005 movie is. They had a low budget, but they still did a better job than 2006. A way better job.
2005 is best for me, i like it a lot
@Gabriel Naranjo that's ok bro, i respect your opinion too👍
C_Ross22 me too
I don't really think that the 2005 TV movie is a very good movie. I have some nostalgia for it and i do like it. But i gotta admit, it's a bad movie. The first half i think is pretty good. We get introduced to the characters, and Marshall Rogo. They get developed. We get to know what the terrorists onboard are up to. and it isn't as bad of an idea as people make it out be. The idea is actually very decently executed. As well as the idea of a Sea Marshall onboard to note unusual behavior. He suspects there are terrorists on board and if there are, he is going to stop them from doing any harm to the passengers and of course the ship. Right as the terrorists are setting up bombs, Rogo already knows and are after them. but there are 4 terrorists, and Rogo has only one other person to help him get rid of them. The terrorists win and manage to blow up a big hole in the ship. After the explosion occured, Captain Gallico is shot after trying to investigate the bridge and dies. Now the ship starts taking on water and capsizes, which appearently violates the rules of physics. But it probably happend because the terrorists had turned off the ship's stabilizers. After the ship capsizes, the characters make a choice to climb up to the bottom of the ship which is now the top and Part 1 ends. The movie was decent up until now... ugh. Part 2 begins with the survivor group trying to find their way out of the boat. Walking trough halls. Climbing up stairs. And going trough a kitchen. And we get introduced to the rescue stations. The idea sounds good on paper but not in this movie, it took me really out of the action and fills up a quarter of the goddamn movie. Our characters go trough some more challenges and make it up to the bottom of the ship. The massive hole is right outside the people who made it up there. But got trapped by a bunch of objects blocking their escape. the rescuers are right on the other side and ignites a fireball to hopefully get rid of the mess. But it only made it worse. They go to the engine room and have to cross a catwalk to make it the other side of the ship. They find a bomb and right when somebody is about to sacrifice themselves for the others to create a big explosion to create a big hole in the ship, the dude survives the explosion that occured like a meter away from him somehow. He earned the survival badge but it would have been cool to see him sacrifice himself tho. The survivors make it out of the ship alive. The Poseidon sinks while the survivors watch and the movie ends. The first half was pretty decent. The second half was not. First. The rescue stations takes you really out of the action and honestly ruins the claustrophobic feel. Second. The people of the survivor group except for 2 people and 3 crew members are completely useless and they don't earn their survival in this movie. The 3 only useful crew members are the first ones to die. It's wierd how all the crew members die but not the passengers. And all the passengers except for 1 lives. The only useful people (The Crew) of the survival groups are the ones to die and they did not deserve their deaths, it also makes the deaths predictable. and all of the passengers except for 1 make it out alive. and none of them except for Rogo and August Smith earned their survival in my opinion. It's a bad movie. But it does have it's moments. sorry for the long ass comment lol.
My rankings:
nr3. Poseidon 2006. Very rushed. God awful characters. Impressive CGI but nothing else to praise about it. (1/5)
nr2. The Poseidon Adventure 2005. Decent characters but they do nothing for the group. Good first half. Bad second half. (2/5)
nr1. The Poseidon Adventure 1972. Good characters who actually do some things for the group. Good plot. Good Action. Good practical effects. Good Drama. = Great movie. (5/5)
The 2006 version is more faithful to the 1972 film, both capsize after being hit by a rogue wave, but in the 2006 version the Poseidon sinks into the depths of the Atlantic Ocean, while in the 1972 film the ship is still afloat and is destroyed in its sequel.
Moral of the story: make sure you have poseidon's permission before naming a ship after him
So my idea for 2005 capisizing is
Modern Cruise ships are prepared for Cross Flooding: Left comp. sinks and to make left list less they sink right one. So idk how tere are many options(like bc of Storm, by terrorists) theese doors were closed. So it happens:
-bomb explodes on the port(left) side
-water floods some food storage and preparing areas on the port side
-Martin spots the ship slowly tilting
"The ship is sinking"
-water gets to more open port areas
-ship with a lot of water, people, no stabilizers and things falling capisize
-it does is faster and faster bc of all weight on port
-ship is turned over
-water that ship have collected Goes into some corridors and areas up the water level
-windows, doors and other hole gets more water
-ship sinks by bow
The Poseidon (2005 Poseidon) is a beautiful ship - clean lines and a graceful form
Clinton doesitRAW I agree, and it doesn't have too many decorations and slopey curves like 2006 version nor does it have the Titanic-like, older and not-as-clean look of the 1972 version.
Margo Goralski well unlike the 2005 and 2006 version the 1976 ship is very much real, her name is the RMS Queen Mary
I think it is a bit too wide but still nice. However the 2006 version is better in colours.
I think the 2005 would look better if it wasn’t terrible cgi
BlueFireJack i prefer the 2006 because the 2005 has so many criminals with the pistol guns
I like the 1972 and 2005 versions, because they has soo many similarities, glad in the 2006 version have soo many differences. My favourite character is Belle Rosen in 2005 version ( Sylvia Syms ) because she is a great hero for the others
Andi Ilham for me 2005 and 2006 is the best just my opinion but i have never watched 1972
even though 2005 is considered bad, i think its ok, its similar, it doesn't have too many differences like the 2006 version
3 movies of Poseidon acting so Great before sinking!
Some scenes of the '72 version were filmed on the Queen Mary in Long Beach, CA. Some scenes in the cinematic '05 were filmed on board the Queen Mary 2, the world largest, longest and most luxurious ocean liner now in service.
QM2 is the *ONLY* ocean liner in service, may I remind you. She has been ever since QE2 retired from service.
Ocean liners pretty much were replaced by aircraft in the 60s, many old ocean liners were converted or dismantled. The 1972 film follows that story, RMS Atlantis now being sent to her final place in Athens, a scrapyard. The ship's name was changed after she went out of service.
The TV version is awful, but I took their plot choice for the capsize a lot better after finding out it's not actually a rogue wave in the novel, but the underwater sism.
the posiden adventure was inspired by the almost capsizing queen mary on one of her voyages a giant rouge wave struck the ship by i belive the port or starboard side and she listed the opposite side extremely bad that if it listed another 3 degrees she would have capsized losing the fastest ship from her time
IRWIN ALLEN WAS ON IT THEN THATS WHAT GAVE HIM THE IDEA
@@chuckschafer942nuh uh. Paul Gallico expierienced it so he wrote a novel "The Poseidon Adventure" in 1969. After that Irwin Allen made movie that did pretty well so he said to Paul to write "Beyond the Poseidon Adventure" Irwin made sequel but it $uck€d.
The 1972 one is so cool. Because it looks like from the outside they’re using a model and it looks just so nice
They are using a model
@@No-dy3zk yes
We want another poseidon adventure story!!!
If the bridge crew of the 2006 Poseidon managed to bring the bow towards the wave the ship would have survived. Nevertheless I like the 2006 movie out of all.
Fun Fact: They Used The Queen Mary To Flim Most Of The Shots In The 1972 Movie And They Used CGI For When The Ship Tips Over/Capsized.
Thank you!
You succeeded though hard work in matching the 3 versions perfectly.
I saw the original in repeat way too many times in theaters at 12 years old.
I walked out after the flip sequence.
If they ever do a new remake, stick to the book script, get the top cast, make the FX look realistic and MOST OF ALL, set it retro in the 70’s.
An old ship, last voyage, and faulty realistic communication.
I try not to compare the original and Poseidon, because one had a much smaller budget, and the other had $160 million at its disposal. I love both, though, and the acting in both is really good, for me.

2006 is my personal favourite. Can respect 1972 for paving the way but the effects/soundtrack/sets in 2006 were glorious to experience and very underrated imo.
I like all of them

When it comes to the capsizing I think I find the '05 version to be the most dramatic.
looks like the 1st ship can survive the LONGEST
Poseidon 2005 sank during the day, so she can survive second longest. Poseidon 2006 just sank in the night, so she can survive least longest. Unless its the night after the ship capsized, and we didn't know because we were trapped in the ship for so long.
No surive
@@KeepCalmContemplateYourChoices sink 2005
1972 did stay afloat until the sun rose and based on the sequel beyond the Poseidon adventure a salvager and his crew went in to find money but found more survivors and they took more than an hour so 1972 Poseidon stayed afloat the longest
sebastian banguis yes, Ms Poseidon sank during the night it capsized because I'm pretty sure it was shorter then 1972 version and you obviously could see it was sinking showing the ballroom flood the main lobby flood and when the hallway where Elena was flooded so that totally made it sink faster.
the fact that the movie is based on a real event is just terrifying
it's not lol

Yea bro🤙
I'll always have a soft spot for the practical effects from 1972 but the opening sequence from the 2006 version is quite impressive.
The 1972 is best. I thought Gene Hackman and Ernest Borgnine worked really well together. The cast had good chemistry and there were personal story lines from different cast members. They actually cared about each other which is rare to find in movies these days. Reflection of the times we live in now.The stories are Gene Hackman, the disgruntled priest, Ernest Borgnite, the police officer, who loved his wife who was a former prostitute, the children whose parents never paid attention to them but gave them extravagant trips, the lonely middled aged man, the Jewish couple trying to go to Isreal to see their first grandson, and the young woman who, with her brother who died, tried to make it big as a singer. This was also Leslie Neilson's better performance, before he was cast into comedy. The story was well told and the ship flip scene was the best in movie at that time. The man falling on the big stained glass will always be iconic. Sometimes, movies being too technical, can destroy a simple story. But, in my opinion, with all technical and visual scenes, (which people nowadays are drawn to) and the cast wasn't believable. The script was bad and there was no real story line. Some movies should be left alone. This was one of them. The upside down ship movie logo was more creative, too.
*Borgnine
@@dawnpowers7626 Thank you. I could never get his name correct. 👍
The 1972 version is the best one,great acting from brilliant actors and actresses. Will always be the one I prefer
The only thing thats really good from the 2006 is stuff like the capsizing scene with its CGI.
We barely get to spend any time with the characters before the wave hits and its just a action movie filled with unlikeable characters that we only spent 5 minutes with beforehand.
The 2005 was bad especially because of the terrible terrorist plot that replaces the iconic wave.
Even with that, the movie spends more time with the characters then the 2006 one but I am not even sure if that helps it at all especially since some of the ones in the 1972 version are flat out removed.
The 1972 movie outperforms both of the remakes with its plot and it overall makes us feel more attached to the characters.
It introduces the characters makes clear of their motivations and then floods the ship and really is just a classic.
1972 is indeed best,... but 2006 was still better than 2005, even though the only thing worth it in the film is the capsizing scene. 2005 doesn't even really have that. Oh, and lets also not forget that Steve Guttenberg's character follows the marks the first group left on the walls,... even though the flooding was following right behind the first group... so what happened to all the flooded areas?
It's a book adaptation.
The score is just amazing
POSEIDON
This makes a good point that just because a movie can be remade, does not mean it should be remade
In 2022 is the 50th anniversary of the Poseidon Adventure 1972
DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE 3 POSEIDON SHIPS
DIFFERENCE #1: SHIP APPEARANCE
1972 - This ship resembles Titanic and Queen Mary.
2005 - Modern-looking cruise ship, especially at night it looks cool.
2006: Tbh, this is not a modern cruise ship. But still it looks decent.
DIFFERENCE #2: HOW THEY CAPSIZE
1972: Rogue Wave
2005: Terrorist Attack/Bomb
2006: Rogue Wave
DIFFERENCE #3: EXPLOSIONS
1972: Often happen while escaping. Idk why..
2005: No explosions, only before capsizing and after escaping.
2006: Occured frequent explosions in engine room.
DIFFERENCE #4: HOW THEY SINK
1972: Didn't sink
2005: Sank by upside down motion
2006: Flips over and sinks
DIFFERENCE #5: AMOUNT OF VIEWS
1972: Deserved a lot of views
2005: Less views compared to 1972 and 2006
2006: Also deserved a lot of views
MY SHIP THOUGHTS:
1972: Honestly, I like this version, my favorite. Decent looking ship on the inside, but old looking on the outside. Although people blame that it's low quality, I still like it.
(7.5/10)
2005: Probably not my favorite. I love the ship design, however, this ship completely defied physics. When the bomb exploded, it caused the ship to flip upside down, but that's not enough force to do that. It doesn't make sense!
(4/10)
2006: This ship is very cool! It really looks realistic, more like "hyper-realistic". The underwater scenes here are very eerie tho, I like the eerie vibes here.
(9/10)
Tell me at the replies what else I miss!
Fantastic; really enjoyed this! BTW - nothing tops the original no matter how much CG SFX the others use.
What a shame it's just the sound of Poseidon's music (2006)
The original is based off a time when the Queen Mary almost was sunk by a rogue wave (it was like 3 degrees away from fully rolling over) which is why they used her for the original movie
Nothing beats Ernie Orsatti's fall in 72. It's one of the most famous practical stunts in history.
James martin's was better.
Why did they remake this movy two years in a row? I know, that Hollywood is out of Ideas, but still.
They aren't both Hollywood productions. The 2006 movie was already announced/in the making, so they decided to produce a made-for-TV adaptation to gain some viewers. And I, to this day, think that the 2005 movie isn't bad. It doesn't look phantastic, but it sure as hell has a better storyline and more interesting characters than the 2006 version.
Which is your favorite
The poseidon 2006 has the biggest ballroom than the two poseidons.
So basically, a ship from the 1900s survives but a huge cruise ship that is 10x larger doesn't and sinks. WHAT ARE THE CHANCES?!
The reason why the ship never sank in the 1972 version is due to the fact they wanted a sequel. Which they had in fact made called beyond the posiedon adventure. Basically yeah bad idea
JJover 9000 the waves are different, the 2006 one is bigger
The 1900s? You wanker.
@@kylr23 they were going to have the ship sink at the end of the 72 film but they ran out of time and money
@@milesprower2944 thats sad, I wish they could of slowly pulled the ship underwater somewhere with like a string or something, at least something you can on the production crew.
@Matt Skuta What about the 1979 film "Beyond The Poseidon Adventure" with Micheal Cain? YOU missed that!
A version based completely on the novel would be great
The 1972 version is based completely on the novel.
@@KeepCalmContemplateYourChoices they tweaked here and there. Can't have kids die.
@@thebirdmusicplaylist601 Mhm
Oh
Yeah, don't think that'd happen. The novel is too dark for it to be adapted one-to-one.
0:07 can someone explained why they put the rms queen mary on the poseidon adventure 1972?
In the Poseidon adventure (1972) the ship S.S. Poseidon was based after Queen Mary. So… basically that’s Poseidon not queen Mary.
@@Kidfromschool88for some reason the queen mary was retired.
@@Kidfromschool88but why they put her there???
Because in 1972 Queen Mary was a remarkable ship and creators want use it for get more view
The 2006 one was the only film that realized it would still be night a few hours after midnight on the 1st January
Clearly, the rescue in the original happened 7-8 hours or more after the capsizing.
@@johndyslin798 your right
is the ship in the 1972 version the RMS Queen marry?
Yes its RMS Queen Mary.
Ok thanks
Wow! Very interesting. I've seen the 1972 and the TV re-make; haven't seen the movie remake but have seen portions. "The Poseidon Adventure" of 1972 is the one for me. I was 11 when I saw it in a theater and I lived it more than watched it and I now have shelves of ocean liner books! Actually none of the dramatizations are very close to the book though the book could have been difficult to put on film because a lot of its content is in the minds of the main characters. Too Paul Gallico never gave a date for the event but from what I've read in "The Poseidon Adventure" and from I know about the history of ocean liners, I would say that "The Poseidon Adventure" could have taken place as far back as 1964.
3 Posiedon ships in a row
Posiedon 1972: COPYCAT
0:32 BEAUTIFUL!
1:01 Why in the Poseidon 2005 they don't do the countdown, because if you saw the one from 2005, why don't they do the countdown?...
Because the bomb went off at 10:10 PM. That is way before midnight could began.
Of course.... Because in one part of when the ship is already capsized, someone says Happy New Year
If the 2005 one had the Rouge Wave, it would be the best one.
Excuse an ignorant question, but wouldn't salt water make it difficult to keep your eyes open underwater?
Great comparison I have all three on DVD but my favorite will always be the Irwin Allen original version ;-)
The two part miniseries runs about 18 minutes longer on DVD it's an extended cut!
2006 was my fave
Fun fact I didn't even know until yesterday that there was a 2005 version.
It was a made for tv film.
