Gettin 2 disc.I Loved this movie.
this is one of the best movies of the year. I'm getting the 2-disc edition
Where's the Andrea Gale? 
I like the cover but they should have used the original poster for the 2-disc edition
c**p movie. one big giant cliche of a movie
I really didn't care too much for this movie, but being a huge Emmy Rossum fan, I'll pick up the two-disc edition for sure.
Great movie =]. I will definately try to get this one!
Released onto DVD so soon? Hmm, that mean it bombed at the Box Office.
I loved this movie. As thrilling as Superman Returns! Will pick up the 2 Disc!!!
Loved this movie.. for what it is, at least. No plot, no character development, but one hell of a ride. I'll be picking up the 2-disc. Not digging the artwork, though. It's okay, but they should have used the poster artwork for the 2-disc.
Lots of fans for this movie I see. I was completely underwhelmed - an unnecesary remake with ok special effects. Yes, it was considered a box office disappointment.
Cover looks almost exactly like Perfect Storm's
loved this movie
defintally a buY!

Is Emmy Rossum the lady that played Christine in Phantom of the Opera?

Yup.
Yup.
Wow. I'm glad so many people like or loved this movie. I thought I was the only one.
I agree with chris burge... I thought I was the only person who liked this movie. So far, it's one of my favorites of 2006. I am disappointed it wasn't a box office winner... Oh well. This is a must-own for me... I'll get the 2-disc for sure!
Great adventure
C'mon, as an adventure movie it is good, so to me that's what really matters. But just the fact of seing Fergie (or "Stacy Ferguson" as the opening credits) being dragged through the ballroom makes it worthy. The only thing that would make it even better is if Paris Hilton were there too...
A little warning for those of you that plan on getting the 2 Disc edition of this movie - you may want to hold out a while... this movie made less than 60 million domestically with a budget of over 160 million - I'd bet on double, triple, hell maybe even quadruple dips of this one.
The cover art sucks. Warner should stick to using the posters used to advertise the film as the DVD art. The one-sheet poster (with the ship being upside down) looked so much better than this.
I hope Warner doesn't botch the DVD art for "Superman Returns" -- if they do, I'm going be p**sed.

The making of docs will probably be better than the movie itself.
through the trailers of this film I could already depict that it was going to be a very bad Wolfgang Peterson film and it is.
its the perfect storm meets day after tomorrow.

If you think "Poseidon" was one of the best movies of the year you should see the original "The Poseidon Adventure", that is way better than this remake. I loved the original and found the remake to be just ok. It took all the heart out of it and made it just an action movie, but overall it was nice to see the story get the special effects it deserves.
I will be picking up the DVD for reference, just to have the two to compare. The Two-Disc Special Edition looks decent. I like the cover for the 2-disc set, but I wish it was different for the standard DVD. Whatever.
My rating for:
"The Poseidon Adventure" (1972)- 9/10
"Poseidon" (2006)- 6/10

I'm gonna get it just so I can add one more movie to my measely "disaster flick" section. With this and the 15 anniverary edition of Backdraft, that'll only make 5.
Haven't seen it yet. I was actually hoping to see it in IMAX, but never got around to it. I'll probably rent this one, then buy the 2 disc if I like it. Anyways, am I the only one who's disappointed that they're using almost the exact same artwork, except for the bar at the top. Usually Warner is good at coming up with different art for the two versions (I think the only one that has the same is Harry Potter, but they at least had a silver frame around the art for the SE, except mine which has a special holographic cover that I got at Future Shop). And isn't the price for the SE a little steep, when they started this type of releasing both a single and double disc versions, the price difference was only about a buck (I actually think when I got Batman Begins both versions were the same price), but now a $7 difference, that's going translate into a big price gap that usually only Universal releases have (such as King Kong and War of the Worlds).
No commentary or deleted scenes on the 2 disc set? I sense a big double dip comming!
Why not use the one-sheet? That cover is downright BAD.
I thought the movie was good fun so I'll definately be getting the 2 disc. But yeah I also think the 2 covers should be a bit more different than just adding 2 Disc to the top of it!
Its was ok, was not all that. To be honest went to see it, I felt some stuff was edited out could have been longer probably was. When you see it you well know what I mean, I'll buy it when comes out on HD-DVD for sound and picture. Other then that very some what disappointing movie.
