Poseidon

Three and a half stars. Pretty good.

There's a point in Poseidon not long after the ship has capsized (I hope that didn't come as a surprise) where the camera focuses on a pair of corpses apparently rising up from the dead. It turns out that there's survivor beneath them, pushing them up and out of the way, but for a moment, I thought: wow, there's going to be zombies in the film. How awesome would that be? Not only would the heroes have to make their escape from an upside-down sinking ship, they'd also have to avoid legions of the living dead, eager for human flesh.

And from that point on, whenever the camera would move through a corridor, panning past the bodies of passengers and crew, I couldn't help but think...and now they'll rise up!

But no. No zombies. Just a well put-together disaster movie remake. I like Josh Lucas. We need to see more of him.
