I purchased The Poseidon Adventure for my older sister. we we feeling nastalgic for the movies that we grew up with. And we both started talking about how good it would be to see it and it wasn't on any of the streaming services. The original is the best! The high watermark! The sequel and remakes... not so much. The quality of the transfer is very good in my humble opinion. And we enjoyed the extras, commentaries.

As blu rays go, some are less clear than others, very much at the mercy of the blu ray's producer, and the actual print used for production, that being said, The Poseidon Adventure delivers a nice clear picture, and though I don't have a surround sound set-up, I can also say the sound was clear as ever. You may be hesitant to purchase The Poseidon Adventure blu ray, since for SOME REASON Walmart is the EXCLUSIVE seller of it, and honestly I was a bit concerned what I would get too, but DONT WORRY, it's a great show!

Great old movie! What a star studded cast, all A+ actors doing what they do best. The remakes of this film are shamefull in comparison. This one is truely the best, and at this price for the blue ray I couldn't pass it up!

The Poseidon Adventure: Action Packed, Emotional Survival, Love Story. Movie is better then the "Titanic" By far!! A Must See Classic FAMILY MOVIE !!

I enjoyed watching this classic movie in Blu-ray. I was 14 years old when the movie debuted in 1972. I also liked the extras included, like the interviews with the actors, years later and the making of the film. I wish that the extras that were shot in widescreen would have been adjusted properly for HDTV viewing (There were black bars on all for sides). Walmart had the best price at $12.96.

great
