I haven't seen The Poseidon Adventures, and because of that, I feel like I enjoyed this to an extent since a lot of people seem to say this is more like a bad remake rather than a sequel. Sad that the first film I saw a young Michael Caine and Sally Fields turned out to be this. There's so much stupid writing in this and the production design also feels cheap compared to other Hollywood movies I've seen from that era. Characters and character arcs are so badly written, some don't make any sense and some are just the most annoying stuff. It still manages to have a good pace and intrigue to it even though nothing works out fully the way it should. It somewhat managed to have enough light moments that helped keep the pace without repetitiveness even when it failed at other things through that. Overall felt like an average disaster movie of that time but it definitely feel like the prequel must have been a superior movie.
