Synopsis

At midnight on New Year's Eve, the SS Poseidon is struck by a 90-foot tidal wave and is capsized.

Reverend Frank Scott leads nine survivors; an elderly couple, Manny and Belle Rosen headed to Israel to see their grandson; A New York detective and his ex-prostitute wife, Mike and Linda Rogo on their second honeymoon to Italy; A young brother and sister, Robin and Susan Shelby going to meet their parents in Greece; A haberdasher James Martin; a pop singer Nonnie Parry, and a waiter from the ship Acres.

They travel from the grand ballroom struggling through, steam, fire and rising water in the upside-down ship to reach the bottom (the propeller shaft), now the top.

The musical score of The Poseidon Adventure effectively complements the visuals and helps to build suspense and tension in crucial moments of the plot.

Mary Scott
2/10

The soundtrack of The Poseidon Adventure lacked emotional depth and failed to capture the intense and dramatic moments of the characters' struggle for survival after the ship capsized. The music felt generic and did not enhance the tension or suspense of the film.

Laura Jackson
5/10

The use of orchestral music in key moments of the movie enhances the emotional impact of the scenes, making the audience feel more connected to the characters' experiences.

Mary Lopez
6/10

The theme music of The Poseidon Adventure is memorable and sticks with you long after watching the film, creating a lasting impression of the story and its themes.

Betty White
1/10

The composition of the songs in The Poseidon Adventure was uninspired and repetitive, making it difficult to distinguish between different scenes or evoke a strong connection with the characters' emotions. The lack of variety in the musical themes made the soundtrack feel monotonous and unmemorable.

Andrew Lee
5/10

Overall, the music in The Poseidon Adventure adds depth and richness to the storytelling, elevating the film and creating a more immersive viewing experience for the audience.

Sarah Hill
3/10

The orchestration and arrangement of the music in The Poseidon Adventure often felt overpowering and overwhelming, overshadowing the dialogue and action on screen. The loud and bombastic score detracted from the immersive experience of the film, making it challenging to fully engage with the storyline and characters.

Timothy Garcia
5/10

The soundtrack successfully conveys a sense of danger and impending doom, keeping the audience on the edge of their seats throughout the movie.

Richard Williams
6/10

The soundtrack of The Poseidon Adventure effectively captures the tension and urgency of the characters' struggle to survive after the shipwreck, adding a sense of drama to the film.

Kenneth Robinson
10/10

One of the standout aspects of the soundtrack is its ability to evoke a sense of urgency and desperation, mirroring the characters' race against time to escape their watery grave. The use of dramatic crescendos and melancholic motifs enhances the tension and drama, making the audience feel fully immersed in the harrowing experience of the characters as they fight for survival.

Matthew Walker
9/10

Overall, the music of The Poseidon Adventure not only enhances the cinematic experience but also stands on its own as a powerful and evocative musical composition.
