POSEIDON
November 10, 2012  | By David Bianculli

AMC, 8:00 p.m. ET

 
This isn’t a very good movie – but on this occasion, that’s the reason to tune in. This movie, made in 2006 by Wolfgang Petersen, should be better than it is. Starring Kurt Russell, it’s a remake of the 1972 disaster film The Poseidon Adventure (pictured) – and Petersen, who directed the brilliant Das Boot, knows his way around water-based dramas. So it has its moments, which are interesting. And this remake is followed, at 10 p.m. ET, by the original movie: the one starring Gene Hackman, Ernest Borgnine and Shelley Winters.
