The feeling hearing the windows cracking, knowing the water is about to thrash through any minute and realising that there is no where to go and you are done for.
For those of you who may not know why the room got flooded. It’s because when you saw that water going inside the ship after that explosion, it created more and more pressure on the room they were in because forcing an air bubble to go down when it’s supposed to go up can easily cause it to burst, hence when you saw the glass shattering.
Thanks for making this available. Very scary sequence and realistic in how the windows would fail due to the water pressure (which doubles per square inch as you go down every 16 feet.). These poor people had no realistic chance of survival due to blunt force trauma impact of the water, drowning and electrocution. Could this scenario really happen? Yes. It almost did to the Queen Mary when it got hit by a rogue wave during WW2 and almost capsized. Novelist Paul Gallico was aboard and used it as the basis of his novel The Poseidon Adventure. The 1972 film was actually partially shot on the Queen Mary.
This serves the captain right on staying put instead of actually attempting to find a way out. I love how he slowly realizes that the windows are cracking and he forgot something important as that, his plan fell apart, and embraces his fate.
Mostly cause his "plan" was to just wait for help, essentially the hope was before major shit happened help would come(no one takes into account that when a ship floods, it doesn't STOP flooding especially if it ain't blocked or something, and a Capsized ship has PLENTY of both to deal with)
Plus it's supposed to be traditional in times of disaster for the captain to go down with his ship. This is the only version of Poseidon where the purser isn't the one being a jerk by trying to make people stay put.
@@queenfan45 I kinda do. He should have realized that there's plenty of openings for the water to come in, as in the cabin windows for example. And with ships there's usually an opening somewhere for water to come in or out for some reason, for example to wash out oil or chemical cleaning of certain pipes for example. If there's one opening above water level, and one below water level, ship will sink unless water tight compartments are closed. But that's taking into account the ship stays upright and hasn't capsized like it did here.
Honestly if I was in that situation, I'd have tried to get to one of those pillars as high as possible, hold on and avoid getting swept up in the water till it rose pretty much to the floor-ceiling, which would mean the inward flow would then calm to the point where one could swim through it, take one last deep breath, swim out through the window, and up to the surface. Judging by the scale of the ship and where that ballroom was, I'd say it's about a 40 foot swim to the surface once you're out the window, not easy to do in one breath, but when your life depends on it...
Same thought I had but the distance would have been more than 40 ft. The Voyager Class cruise ship is some 206ft 8in tall. That means capsized youd have over 100ft to swim. But even if it was 40 feet your average person can only dive about 20 feet without scuba gear. The deepest a person ever dove was 831 feet with on breath and its a current record but the guy sustained a brain injury by time he got back to the surface. So the depth of 100ft is possible, but considering how those are just regular people the possibility of them surviving a 40 ft let alone a 100 ft swim to the surface would be very unlikely. But would be worth it to give it a try as you are dead either way but making a swim for it gives you the slim chance of making it.
Now I understand why this all happened. the captain told everyone that while the doors of the ballroom were closed, they were completely safe. he did not expect explosions to occur on the decks of the inverted Poseidon. and another powerful explosion created strong pressure on the windows because of which they began to crack and eventually flooded the ballroom. if not for this, this did not happen. who thinks?
That's the exact reason if you read the book "Poseidon Adventure". Except in the book, there isn't an explosion. I won't give spoilers to the rest but I wanted to confirm your answer
It would have still happened. Ship was sinking either way. In a way that bubble they were in did slow down the sinking, but eventually it would have burst and they'd be dead. They may have survived for some time, possibly for an hour or so at most, but as said ship was sinking either way, just slowly.
I'm sure that in real life, those windows would have broken immediately either from the rouge wave or the immense water pressure once the ship was upside-down.
@Simaka Wolf you have 1atm more of pressure for each 30ft of depth. If this is submerged 32ft, which is plausible, that's 100kpa on the glass. That means a prwssure diferential of 10 tons per square meter. Judging by the glass area, 25-30tons of force would be more realistic. They would break imeadiatelly. No delay.
@@Bonadio2009 33 feet to be accurate, and it's 34 feet in fresh water as fresh water is less heavy because it does not contain the salt and minerals sea water does
The in movie explanation is that that room was built as a special bubble that could seal and could survive even if the ship capsized. And rescue was hours away, so why risk getting everyone killed looking for their families or an exit through the turbines when they could just wait for rescue? But the explanation for why it burst was that the ship was also sinking, and a huge engine feel down, so the pressure kept increasing
this movie horrified me as a kid seeing so many people die at once in such a similar fashion to when i would play with lego guys and massacre them, it creeped me out in that weird way and also the fact that the other small group knew everyone else just died from the sounds is eerie
Any movie involving tight spaces and drowning bugs me. I went and saw it regardless. Maybe it was because I was trying to ignore drowning in tight spaces but I can't be the only one that was thinking about all the lawsuits this event would entail.
Who would the lawsuit be against? it was a wave that flipped the ship. That would be like trying to take out a lawsuit after an iceberg hit the titanic
Jonathan Fitzharris The cruise company, the wave flipped the ship however guests were not evacuated or prepared properly and the ship was not safe in a rollover as advertised. There would be numerous successful lawsuits for wrongful death and criminal negligence as necessary life saving measures were not taken but promises were made. Cruise companies just like airlines are liable for all lives on board. On the titanic, there would be a serious case there for criminal negligence. There were not enough life boats or vests, guests were not safely evacuated and many were locked wrongly below decks. Not to mention the ship builders could have been liable given the ship should have by design shrugged off the impact but instead failed on a count of poor construction.
What's wild is in the very end of this scene, at about 1:23, you can see someone's body being flung up in the air like the tables and chairs. Something is really chilling about that moment.
Hearing the people from the ballroom screaming from where the survivors are would be horrifying because you know you can do nothing to help them what so ever and you need to keep going.
Something I always hated about this version was the main character don't even make an appeal to the ppl in the ballroom, explain to them what's gonna happened
If too many guests tried to leave it probably would have fucked up the whole escape. Imagine that many people trying to cross the elevator shaft before it blew up. Dylan made the right call in only taking a few.
1:25 Richard: You hear that? That’s the sound of forgiveness! Kurt: That’s the sound of people drowning Richard. Richard: That is what forgiveness sounds like, screaming and then silence.
This scene was always the most traumatizing to me. So many people, stuck, knowing there's nothing they can do. Knowing at that moment, that they are going to die. Even if the window's didn't break, they still would've died. Whether it being running out of oxygen, pumping out too much C02, dehydration or starvation, there was no hope for these people.
Assuming the windows didn't break and the ship would stay afloat, they would of been fine. Cruise ships today are built with an emergency SOS beacon in their system. In the event the cruise ship is hit with enough force, like a wave as seen here, or runs into a seastack or even into another cruise ship. The force of the hit will have the computers send out an immediate distress signal to all vessels and military posts within range; which can stretch out for hundreds of miles in all directions. They would of been found within hours, a couple of days at most. People can go for days and even weeks without food. And a person can go for up to 96 hours before they start to dehydrate and get sick. In a room that big, they would have enough oxygen to last for a few days. The only thing I can see a problem with is the CO2, but only if there was a major leak. But if help was on the way and arrive only a few hours after the accident, they would of been okay. There would still of been dead people, but only from the initial accident.
@@TimberlakeTigerGirl But how would rescuers save people? How would they get into the ballroom? I don't know how, what do you think about it? How would the rescuers get into the ballroom and save people?
@@Britishbjornis I meant how would the rescuers get inside the ballroom to save people from there? After all, the liner was capsized, and everywhere was flooded. How would people be saved?
Id say this situation is much worse than the Titanic because with the Titanic you'd at least have a higher chance of survival (if you were lucky enough to make it to a lifeboat in time) but here you have little to no chance of escape.
On Costa Concordia you couldn't, on Sewol Ferry you couldn't, on Oceanos you couldn't, a lot of times you can never trust the captain. But then again, the rogue wave came so suddenly...
Well, at least he did have a point. He didn’t know the explosions would come, the intake of seawater causing it to sink lower, the pressure causing the windows to crack. He never predicted any of it, how could he have known? At least he didn’t try running, he didn’t scream. He just… embraced it. And at least he’s not as spite-filled as the hotel manager from the 2005 Poseidon Adventure. You just watch that, and you’ll see why he deserved more than the one here.
Technically you could get out by direct escape from the ballroom. You just need to survive the initial flood and other debris flying and risking hitting you in the face.
@@IvanimalReacts I'm just saying, if by luck you are able to. Then Yes, you could survive. Odds that are stacked up against you is mere luck or a miracle by God alone.
The whole reason those windows imploded was because at this point they were 40-50 feet under water and the immense pressure caused them to fail. You’re not getting out of that.
I've seen almost every movie that Kurt Russell has done from Guardians of the Galaxy vol. 2 to Executive Decision to Stargate to Deep water Horizon to Escape from New York to the Thing to Back draft to Overboard to Sky High to Big Trouble in Little China to Tombstone to Escape from L.A. to The Best of Times to Captain Ron to Soldier to Tango and Cash to Poseidon man those were some awesome action films with Kurt Russell.
I imagine that the captain and people felt that the glass of the ballroom simply could not withstand the pressure of the water and was vibrating now. I imagined what a horror it happened there, when everyone hoped that they would be saved but could not
The ship was built in a way that the watertight doors should have protected them long enough. That explosion created too much pressure for the windows.
Well, Lusitania wasnt from White Star Line although the company it came from later merged with WSL and it was a different class. From what I've read the Olympic class (Titanic) was built to compete with Lusitania. Calling your ship unsinkable is a really really bad idea...
I remember watching this scene and imagining I was in that room when it flooded. I imagined I survived by swimming through the window once it filled up with water and then swimming to the surface hahaha
Except all that water hitting you would break every single bone in your body and kill you in an instant from the vast force and speed alone. So no one in there would survive after the ballroom flood.
I went to the movies to watch this when it came out. This scene above all others chilled me to the bone. To be trapped in that situation and knowing there is no escape because you turned down the one chance offered, would I have been like the singer and captain, calmly accepting my fate? I watch this again at one in the morning, and wonder how well I'll sleep tonight....coz I still don't have an answer.
To put this scene and the sheer power of water in a larger perspective, the water pressure around the Titanic at 12,400 feet ocean depth is about 5584 lbs per square inch, which means if you were in a submersible that even had a pinhole breech of its hull, the water that would come shooting in would instantly slice off any part of a human body like a meat saw.
Yazmarohma42 Probably because it's based on a true story and you feel for the characters involved. This is totally make believe so it doesn't impact you as much.
if you mean the "explosion" of the windows, it wasn't with cgi, they really put windows and at a certain moment they broke them (with some detonator) In the behind the scenes and part of the exclusive videos of the recordings you see literally the same thing, the windows imploding and the rest...
You do not have to be a ship captain or a physicist to know that ships are not designed to be upside down, even the most modern. There would be no chance of salvation waiting for help and being trapped in a saloon 80 or 100 meters below the water line inside a ship about to collapse. This is proof that we can never totally trust others in situations of risk, but in our intuition.
This actor cant catch a break, first he ball room fills with water and everyone drowns, then he goes to a supermarket and it gets surrounded by mist with alien monsters in it and he takes a stroll outside only to get eaten...
The most horrifying part for me was the overview of the ballroom as its flooding, and the lights go out. Those people are done for, there is no escaping, they met their fate.
I'm looking at this from a special effects viewpoint and just marveling and wondering at how they could get all the windows to break at the same time and stuff. Unless it's CGI which it really doesn't look like, especially for the 2000s. This is pretty cool.
They recreated the life-size ballroom! The actors filmed their "death" on a blue set to place them in the Royal room when the windows exploded, there is a video that shows that only 4 actors got wet for the close-up shots.
I watched this with my mom years and years ago and when it got to this scene, she said (about the captain), “Eh, not a bad way to go, in Fergie’s arms”.
1:02 There's a guy ugly crying in the background. Sure this film may not be as great as the first film character wise, but I like that little detail. In that situation, I can guarantee that there would be people just like him.
Am I the only one who likes the entire film? Sure,I don't like It as much as the original but still,why does everyone dislike this remake? I can under stand the mini-series but why this one?
I know right I love this movie and I am 13 I mean people it is a lot better than the original look up how Poseidon was made it's really cool they used the most water used in a movie in the world like awesome right this scene used 5,000 gallons of water PLZ STOP THE HATE
It's definitely not the best movie I've ever watched but not at all the worst either. Sure, some parts are rushed and they could've had some better character development and a better backstory, longer first part to let us get to know the characters better but for what it's worth, it delivers in terms of special effects, action and the set-up of the movie. Certain parts made me very claustrophobic and the water seems to surprise you around every corner so while the movie definitely has its flaws, it also does keep you on the edge of your seat. The mini-series for TV did really suck lol, Posedion was way better, hands down!
Because most of people think like Oh, look because there is already a movie of poseidon it has to be way better than this "crap"! Happens the same on titanic Hey, there is a 1950 version of titanic! Im very smart so im going to hate the newest titanic film just because the original films rocks! I dont know if you can understand me
but I wonder what those people who were in the ballroom hoped for? who thinks? even if the ballroom did not flood, how would their rescuers who arrived at the scene of the tragedy save them from there? which way? how would they get there and save people from that place? who thinks what opinion?
the captain is to blame for everything, he ordered everyone to stay in the ballroom, assuring that until the doors were hermetically closed there would be no danger, but he did not think about the windows, they were under water, and they immediately had a huge water pressure, and but after a while they could not stand it anymore and were knocked out, flooding the ballroom. if the captain had said it all at once, then everyone would have gone to look for a way out, and no one there would have died ....
Y’mean less people would’ve died. In fact, the same amount of people, if not more would’ve died from the very next sequence. The elevator falling would’ve definitely killed them, explosions and such. Still, would’ve been better for them to die trying.
@@sdmedia1323 @SD Media in the film captain said it was safe for people to stay in the ballroom until the rescuers arrived and when they arrived they would rescue them. but I'm wondering how the lifeguards would get to the ballroom that was inside the liner? how would they get inside and save people from there? because everything inside was flooded, it would be impossible to find the ballroom and get to inside. what do you think about this bro?
Mack Pines if you took a tablet turned it up to the brightest setting and submerged in a tub of water the tablet will stay on for a few minutes (sometimes 20 minutes) before slowly shutting off. It’s not far fetch to think that a ship would still have the lights on even if the ship was upside down and submerged in water
@@q.l5480 It would depend on if all of the ship's emergency systems somehow kept kept running after being submerged in water upside down any backup generators would have instantly failed especially if they were diesel because they wouldn't be able to run upside down so we could say that maybe there were batteries and that's what kept the lights going then again who knows
I can see a direct escape from the ballroom once it's flooded you swim out from the broken windows and swim up to the surface but the problem is how long you can hold your breath for
Well... many people are not trained or prepared for such a situation, this includes that more than half of people (if not all) are not prepared to hold their breath for a long time. First, despair wouldn't let you get enough air. Second, the shock of the water could cause you to break bones due to the force. Third, the darkness of the place would not allow people to get out of there
we can say that the people who escaped from the overturned liner were lucky that a staircase leading down the hall collapsed in the ballroom, along which they climbed up and climbed out through the door, if it had not collapsed, they would not have been able to go up and get out because high from the ceiling to the bottom. and they would have had to stay there and as we know no one would have survived, everyone would have died. who thinks, do I think correctly

For those of you who may not know why the room got flooded.

Assuming the windows didn't break and the ship would stay afloat, they would of been fine. Cruise ships today are built with an emergency SOS beacon in their system. In the event the cruise ship is hit with enough force, like a wave as seen here, or runs into a seastack or even into another cruise ship. The force of the hit will have the computers send out an immediate distress signal to all vessels and military posts within range; which can stretch out for hundreds of miles in all directions.
They would of been found within hours, a couple of days at most. People can go for days and even weeks without food. And a person can go for up to 96 hours before they start to dehydrate and get sick. In a room that big, they would have enough oxygen to last for a few days. The only thing I can see a problem with is the CO2, but only if there was a major leak. But if help was on the way and arrive only a few hours after the accident, they would of been okay. There would still of been dead people, but only from the initial accident.
Well damn, I guess I was wrong. I shall change my opinion now.
@@TimberlakeTigerGirl But how would rescuers save people? How would they get into the ballroom? I don't know how, what do you think about it? How would the rescuers get into the ballroom and save people?
@@antonkuzmin4523 I guess they would try to tip the ship upright as slowly as possible and get everyone out.
@@Britishbjornis I meant how would the rescuers get inside the ballroom to save people from there? After all, the liner was capsized, and everywhere was flooded. How would people be saved?
OMG I really wanted Fergie and Aleena to live too.
....
Why?! Fergie sucks!!! Listen to her play nation anthem of USA
Elena?
I wish she was with the survivors
Bruh thats a copy in the 1972 movie the simger is the survivor too
So this is what Captain Raymond Holt did before he was actually a Captain 😂😂😂
Talk about that ballroom blitz
You definitely washed the floor with that joke
Id say this situation is much worse than the Titanic because with the Titanic you'd at least have a higher chance of survival (if you were lucky enough to make it to a lifeboat in time) but here you have little to no chance of escape.
Sometimes, you can't trust the Captain.
On Costa Concordia you couldn't, on Sewol Ferry you couldn't, on Oceanos you couldn't, a lot of times you can never trust the captain. But then again, the rogue wave came so suddenly...
sebastian banguis True but it isn’t always the captains fault his choice leads to death.
Well, at least he did have a point. He didn’t know the explosions would come, the intake of seawater causing it to sink lower, the pressure causing the windows to crack. He never predicted any of it, how could he have known?
At least he didn’t try running, he didn’t scream. He just… embraced it.
And at least he’s not as spite-filled as the hotel manager from the 2005 Poseidon Adventure. You just watch that, and you’ll see why he deserved more than the one here.
Richard Dreyfuss is a smart guy. Whereas, Captain is dumb!
Even captain holt?
the making of this movie is actually awesome... i like this version..
I find it so sad that Elena and Valentin died in this movie :(
Technically you could get out by direct escape from the ballroom. You just need to survive the initial flood and other debris flying and risking hitting you in the face.
Then you’d die by either the bends, or drowning, if by some miracle you make it to the surface theres a good chance you’ll die of hypothermia
If you could manage to find your way out through the window in that darkness. Chances are you won’t
@@IvanimalReacts I'm just saying, if by luck you are able to. Then Yes, you could survive. Odds that are stacked up against you is mere luck or a miracle by God alone.
@@Airland_combat that would be a miracle and a half.
The whole reason those windows imploded was because at this point they were 40-50 feet under water and the immense pressure caused them to fail. You’re not getting out of that.
At 0:22 the look in the captains face knowing he doomed everyone knowing that kurt russel was right they needed to escape
The captain: we will be safe
The windows and water: I don’t think so ;)
Yeah, Captain is dumb!
He didn't think about the windows. He supposed to think about the windows and water as well.
That look of sheer guilt, knowing he's doomed all those people
At 1:19 we're seeing an ants view the ant said WHAT THE... and then gets swallowed by water 💦 😂
I've seen almost every movie that Kurt Russell has done from Guardians of the Galaxy vol. 2 to Executive Decision to Stargate to Deep water Horizon to Escape from New York to the Thing to Back draft to Overboard to Sky High to Big Trouble in Little China to Tombstone to Escape from L.A. to The Best of Times to Captain Ron to Soldier to Tango and Cash to Poseidon man those were some awesome action films with Kurt Russell.
"I sensed a great disturbance in the Force, as if billions of voices suddenly cried out in terror... and were suddenly silenced."

I imagine that the captain and people felt that the glass of the ballroom simply could not withstand the pressure of the water and was vibrating now. I imagined what a horror it happened there, when everyone hoped that they would be saved but could not
Least the captain Got to hold Fergie as he died lol
Okay the only people who tried to escape are the only smart ones on the whole entire vessel
The ship was built in a way that the watertight doors should have protected them long enough. That explosion created too much pressure for the windows.
Well, Lusitania wasnt from White Star Line although the company it came from later merged with WSL and it was a different class. From what I've read the Olympic class (Titanic) was built to compete with Lusitania.
Calling your ship unsinkable is a really really bad idea...
I remember watching this scene and imagining I was in that room when it flooded. I imagined I survived by swimming through the window once it filled up with water and then swimming to the surface hahaha
Except all that water hitting you would break every single bone in your body and kill you in an instant from the vast force and speed alone. So no one in there would survive after the ballroom flood.
I went to the movies to watch this when it came out. This scene above all others chilled me to the bone. To be trapped in that situation and knowing there is no escape because you turned down the one chance offered, would I have been like the singer and captain, calmly accepting my fate? I watch this again at one in the morning, and wonder how well I'll sleep tonight....coz I still don't have an answer.
It was very impressionant to see much people screaming of panic and die. The ship had its destiny!
To put this scene and the sheer power of water in a larger perspective, the water pressure around the Titanic at 12,400 feet ocean depth is about 5584 lbs per square inch, which means if you were in a submersible that even had a pinhole breech of its hull, the water that would come shooting in would instantly slice off any part of a human body like a meat saw.
It's really weird to read this now ...
This man predicted the Titan and the memes around it
The Titanic Grand Staircase flooding is still much more better than this.
Yazmarohma42 Probably because it's based on a true story and you feel for the characters involved. This is totally make believe so it doesn't impact you as much.
fyi, you don't need to say more better. A better way to say it would be "much better"
Yazmarohma42 yep it does
Yasmarohma42. 1000% true

“You are dead! Not big surprise!”

1:00 Most heartbreaking moments of them all
The explosion is animated, but the Ballroom flooding was done for real.
all the actors had air canisters
if you mean the "explosion" of the windows, it wasn't with cgi, they really put windows and at a certain moment they broke them (with some detonator)
In the behind the scenes and part of the exclusive videos of the recordings you see literally the same thing, the windows imploding and the rest...
@@dzc2805 I was talking about the outside ship explosions with the CGI ship model.
you can almost hear the ship screaming in agony
The captains face when he realizes he just got everyone killed by convincing them to stay
0:21 Captain Holt.
I just think he is staying in because they are "upside-down" and no way to get out"
This probably was the most hardest seen to make on Peterson’s movie job.
The Wolf reviewer! There is a behind-the-scenes clip of them making this I found
You do not have to be a ship captain or a physicist to know that ships are not designed to be upside down, even the most modern. There would be no chance of salvation waiting for help and being trapped in a saloon 80 or 100 meters below the water line inside a ship about to collapse. This is proof that we can never totally trust others in situations of risk, but in our intuition.
I just realised is that woman In the red dress fergie?
kai baldwin yes
kai baldwin OMG the Black Eyed Peas Lady was in this movie?!?!?!?
A stunt woman ♀️👠♀️👠😂🎉😊
I feel bad for fergie dying in this scene. 😭
@itss Lenno they all don’t deserve to die like this. So sad but I know it’s just a movie🥲
@@kellydysantini6498
This can happen in real life. Rogue Waves do happen and ships have been hit by them
This is why I'm never going on a cruise ship
11 years late but it’s still sad seeing the people open the door to the kitchen but it’s already flooded 0:56
This actor cant catch a break, first he ball room fills with water and everyone drowns, then he goes to a supermarket and it gets surrounded by mist with alien monsters in it and he takes a stroll outside only to get eaten...
The most horrifying part for me was the overview of the ballroom as its flooding, and the lights go out. Those people are done for, there is no escaping, they met their fate.
I'm looking at this from a special effects viewpoint and just marveling and wondering at how they could get all the windows to break at the same time and stuff. Unless it's CGI which it really doesn't look like, especially for the 2000s. This is pretty cool.
The bottom floors glass windows were complete practical effects. They really did flood the entire room. The second floor flood was cgi
They recreated the life-size ballroom! The actors filmed their "death" on a blue set to place them in the Royal room when the windows exploded, there is a video that shows that only 4 actors got wet for the close-up shots.
at the dock of this ship i would be like"i know this ship is going to stand out more than the rest so i am not going to go on this ship"
This one is literally the chaos of the 1971 version turned up to 11.
I watched this with my mom years and years ago and when it got to this scene, she said (about the captain), “Eh, not a bad way to go, in Fergie’s arms”.
My dad always says, better to find a way out than wait
1:02
There's a guy ugly crying in the background.
Sure this film may not be as great as the first film character wise, but I like that little detail.
In that situation, I can guarantee that there would be people just like him.
0:22 it was at this moment he knew he fucked up
Happy new year Rest in peace Poseidon ship
Fergie was singing and the ships said nope and flipped over
It was at this moe t the black captain knew he fucked up
Thats a steward
No, that was the captain...did you even watch the movie?
+JoMiner_ 456 sure doesn't look like. captain
because he only had his vest left on.
+JoMiner_ 456 I'm pretty sure the captain would be in the bridge during this
i would NEVER have gotten on that ship
But how would you have known it was going to sink they surely didnt.
When the fish tank breaks
Poseidon ship has been sunk New Year’s Day
Way to go Captain you shoul've listened and started looking for an exit but no you wanted everyone to stay put and wait for help.
Good thing that this video suggested me about this that i forgot about this part
Thank God people stopped building ships with Explodium Steel.
Rule #1 of ship disasters, always try to escape ASAP
Damb mr mosebee didn't survive long after zac and Cody got off the ship and went to university
Jack Carmichael XS
He isn't the same actor from The Suite Life tho
It is
Jack Carmichael YOU ARE A REAL IDIOT. THATS NOT THE SAME GUY
That is Andre Braugher right there. In The Suite Life, that was Phil Lewis.
Am I the only one who likes the entire film? Sure,I don't like It as much as the original but still,why does everyone dislike this remake? I can under stand the mini-series but why this one?
I know right I love this movie and I am 13 I mean people it is a lot better than the original look up how Poseidon was made it's really cool they used the most water used in a movie in the world like awesome right this scene used 5,000 gallons of water PLZ STOP THE HATE
It's definitely not the best movie I've ever watched but not at all the worst either. Sure, some parts are rushed and they could've had some better character development and a better backstory, longer first part to let us get to know the characters better but for what it's worth, it delivers in terms of special effects, action and the set-up of the movie. Certain parts made me very claustrophobic and the water seems to surprise you around every corner so while the movie definitely has its flaws, it also does keep you on the edge of your seat. The mini-series for TV did really suck lol, Posedion was way better, hands down!
Because most of people think like Oh, look because there is already a movie of poseidon it has to be way better than this "crap"! Happens the same on titanic Hey, there is a 1950 version of titanic! Im very smart so im going to hate the newest titanic film just because the original films rocks! I dont know if you can understand me
Javii Rodriguez I think for most ppl it’s the characters in this film, they just aren’t as interesting as the ones in the original
I love it , both versions
Captain Holt!!
but I wonder what those people who were in the ballroom hoped for? who thinks? even if the ballroom did not flood, how would their rescuers who arrived at the scene of the tragedy save them from there? which way? how would they get there and save people from that place? who thinks what opinion?
0:16 I wonder what are these two large fragments? who thinks
They are probably either the sonar or radar domes
@@PoseidoncapsizesHiu watching this in 2024
Very good observation... i didn't see it myself. :)
the captain is to blame for everything, he ordered everyone to stay in the ballroom, assuring that until the doors were hermetically closed there would be no danger, but he did not think about the windows, they were under water, and they immediately had a huge water pressure, and but after a while they could not stand it anymore and were knocked out, flooding the ballroom. if the captain had said it all at once, then everyone would have gone to look for a way out, and no one there would have died ....
Y’mean less people would’ve died.
In fact, the same amount of people, if not more would’ve died from the very next sequence. The elevator falling would’ve definitely killed them, explosions and such.
Still, would’ve been better for them to die trying.
@@sdmedia1323 @SD Media in the film captain said it was safe for people to stay in the ballroom until the rescuers arrived and when they arrived they would rescue them. but I'm wondering how the lifeguards would get to the ballroom that was inside the liner? how would they get inside and save people from there? because everything inside was flooded, it would be impossible to find the ballroom and get to inside. what do you think about this bro?
*how to kill off everyone but the main cast in two minutes*
I love how there's water all over and yet the lights are still on WTF.
Mack Pines if you took a tablet turned it up to the brightest setting and submerged in a tub of water the tablet will stay on for a few minutes (sometimes 20 minutes) before slowly shutting off. It’s not far fetch to think that a ship would still have the lights on even if the ship was upside down and submerged in water
@@q.l5480 It would depend on if all of the ship's emergency systems somehow kept kept running after being submerged in water upside down any backup generators would have instantly failed especially if they were diesel because they wouldn't be able to run upside down so we could say that maybe there were batteries and that's what kept the lights going then again who knows
Well, they are in the bottom- er, top of the ship, so they would be the last parts to get flooded.
I can see a direct escape from the ballroom once it's flooded you swim out from the broken windows and swim up to the surface but the problem is how long you can hold your breath for
enough breath to spit out to the surface, and then climb into a life raft and wait for rescue
After the flood of the ballroom does the night club(disco) flood?
@@ivanivanov-no4qg most likely
Well... many people are not trained or prepared for such a situation, this includes that more than half of people (if not all) are not prepared to hold their breath for a long time. First, despair wouldn't let you get enough air. Second, the shock of the water could cause you to break bones due to the force. Third, the darkness of the place would not allow people to get out of there
It's hard to survive because they were are in the middle of the ocean... and the ship was sunk! 😥
1:16 look like they are flying
I wonder what the people who were in the ballroom hoped for, no matter how they were saved from there ...
I remember having night terrors of this movie back in 2006
Same! I've never seen the whole film but my uncle was watching it on TV once.
They really should have opened that door and let that water in, would take a lot of the impact away
we can say that the people who escaped from the overturned liner were lucky that a staircase leading down the hall collapsed in the ballroom, along which they climbed up and climbed out through the door, if it had not collapsed, they would not have been able to go up and get out because high from the ceiling to the bottom. and they would have had to stay there and as we know no one would have survived, everyone would have died. who thinks, do I think correctly
Amazing scene
When fergie sings it’s like the death song to everyone in the ballroom
