The Young & Restless

Caught this movie yesterday with my cousin and seriously it’s worth a watch. If you like Titanic, chances are you may also enjoy this. Storyline may not be as great as Titanic but the action scenes definitely are. Hehe..don’t mind me spoiling the movie a little here.

The ship, named Poseidon itself was in the middle of an ocean somewhere (don’t know where it is though LOL) and unlike Titanic where it crashed the iceberg which still gave some time for the guests on board to evacuate using lifeboats. This ship was completely caught offguard by an enormous tidal wave (could even be a tsunami) that in seconds it toppled the ship entirely submerged. At that instant, almost everyone’s killed either by falling lightings or be squished by heavy objects. And water’s rising fast, I meant REALLY fast. So we have a number of people who (always in every show)  being either the hero or heroin as usual will find their way up to the ship before it completely sunk into the ocean. And as usual, you have some survivors dying along the way. In fact, every single crew and guests died except for these few. What’s so tensed about this movie compared to Titanic was the motion of every scene you see the water getting to them, almost seconds before the water engulfed the entire place. It felt as if you’re there together with them, thinking how would they ever leave the giant ship with very limited areas to run, climb while watching the water level below their feet..thinking would more people die along the way trying to escape..what were their fates?

Now if you have hydrophobia, I’d suggest you shouldn’t watch it, cos the almost half of the show, you see them running frantically, evading water as much as possible. It’s just nerve-wrecking to sum it up.

It isn’t bad at all as the critics said it was. I recommend it.
