This movie was awesome!!! Although this movie is old, it has good special effects. If you are not sure about seeing the newer Poseidon, watch this one first. It's not as graphic.

What Parents Need to Know
About The Poseidon Adventure
Parents need to know that kids will hear be exposed to some violent and scary situations. Bodies are flung like confetti in the wake of a tidal wave; some bloody injuries and many deaths result. There are frequent sprinklings of moderately salty language and a reference to a passenger's former career as a prostitute. But the film also emphasizes strength of character, determination, courage and ingenuity in the face of calamity, too.
