- Not a complete disaster but far from great
"I knew it! I knew my luck couldn't be that bad! Nothing was going to get worse because nothing could've!" Wrong again. A couple of years after swearing nothing on Earth would make him leave the UK, Michael Caine went into tax exile in Hollywood and signed up for a slew of "But it looked good on paper" pictures, getting off to an inauspicious start with the now forgotten period comedy Harry and Walter Go to New York, a huge flop so horrendously expensive that it very nearly bankrupted Columbia Pictures if they hadn't been bailed out by a consortium of German dentists. He must have thought his luck had changed when he signed for not one but two Irwin Allen disaster movies - after all, The Poseidon Adventure and The Towering Inferno had been massive ... Read More:

- Go back. Go...beyond.
Some spoilers perhaps!

Since the original Poseidon Adventure raked in so much dough, Irwin Allen wanted to get a sequel off the ground right away. It would eventually take him 7 years to get it made and in that space of time it would go through many changes.

Like the fist film this one starts with the action fast so there is no waiting around. It is set just after the first film ended with Michael Caine and his crew (including Carl Malden)stumbling across the Poisiedon with the intent to salvage the loot onboard. all is fine until another crew turn up (Headed by the ever slimly Terry Sevallis) claiming they are for medical aid for any survivors. And once again we are pulled into the hellish bowels of the wreck. Terry Sevallis and his crew's real recovery mission comes clear and Michaels Caine's salvage crew must become the saviours of the survivors they find in a race against time before the ship itself goes beneath the waves... This film is quite reasonable with a typical daft cash-in story line ... Read More:
