Beyond The Poseidon Adventure (1979) (1348 words)
Picking up where The Poseidon Adventure left off, this action packed yarn tells the story of how a group of rescue workers descend on the overturned Poseidon to try and salvage the remnants of the crippled ship.
Beyond the Poseidon Adventure appears in an aspect ratio of approximately 2.35:1 on this single-sided, double-layered DVD; the image has been enhanced for 16X9 televisions.
The trailer for the 1972 Poseidon Adventure is a no-show since Fox owns the rights, but I don’t know why this set lacks an ad for 2006’s Poseidon, another Warner release.
