Despite its stunning visuals — even nominated for an Oscar — the film’s excessive budget put Petersen’s thriller underwater financially. Nevertheless, it remains an exciting diversion and with this new 4K presentation Poseidon on screen becomes about as close as one can get to the real thing!
Bonus features include five new featurettes — “Ocean View,” “Big Sets for Big-Time Directors,” “Surfing the VFX Wave,” “Bringing Out the Dead” — and a newly-prepared retrospective with Cereal at Midnight’s Heath Holland titled “Set a Course for Adventure.”
There are three addition vintage featurettes — “Poseidon: A Ship on a Soundstage,” “Poseidon: Upside Down” and “A Shipmate’s Diary.”
