Poseidon (2025) crashes onto screens with Wolfgang Petersen’s gripping disaster reboot, as Captain Harlan Crowe (Dwayne Johnson) fights to save passengers on the capsized S.S. Poseidon after a cult’s sea god ritual triggers a rogue wave. Allied with doctor Elena (Carla Gugino), engineer Nash (Josh Duhamel), and mystic Mira (Kyra Sedgwick), Harlan navigates flooded ballrooms and steam-gushing boiler rooms. The plot surges through inverted decks, chasing a stolen trident artifact amplifying Poseidon’s wrath to drown coastlines. Flashbacks reveal Harlan’s ignored seismic warnings, mirroring Elena’s grief over a lost child. Subplots entwine Nash’s sabotage suspicions and Mira’s visions of drowned souls, with a mid-film betrayal flooding the propeller shaft.

The climax erupts in a whirlpool duel, where Harlan wields the trident to stop the cult. Petersen’s claustrophobic tension grips, with practical sets amplifying dread. Johnson’s resolute leadership shines, Gugino’s empathy anchors, Duhamel’s ingenuity sparks, and Sedgwick’s mysticism haunts. The narrative weaves survival and sacrifice with sharp focus, avoiding spectacle overload. A heart-pounding thriller, it surges for disaster fans craving high-stakes drama.
