Plot Summary:
The RMS Poseidon, a luxury ocean liner, is making a transatlantic crossing. Former New York City Mayor and FDNY firefighter Robert Ramsey (Kurt Russell) is traveling with his daughter Jennifer (Emmy Rossum) and her boyfriend Christian (Mike Vogel) to New York, soon to be engaged. Other passengers include Dylan Johns (Josh Lucas), a gambler and loner, and Maggie (Jacinda Barrett), a single mother. As the ship celebrates New Year's Eve, a massive rogue wave strikes, capsizing the vessel. The survivors, including Captain Bradford (Andre Braugher), must navigate the inverted ship to find a way to escape before it sinks.

Critics Review:
Poseidon received mixed reviews from critics. Roger Ebert noted that the film follows the typical disaster movie formula but lacks emotional depth. The New Yorker's review described the film as a "pop-digital survival drama devoid of deep innovation," focusing more on physical spectacle than character development.

Christian Perspective:
The film lacks explicit Christian themes or moral lessons. It focuses more on survival and human interaction under duress rather than on spiritual or ethical considerations.

Family Friendliness:
Rated PG-13, the film contains perilous situations, explosions, and some violence. It may be suitable for older children and teens, but parental discretion is advised due to the intense scenes.

Notable Songs:
