When I sat down to watch this 2021 movie titled "Hotel Poseidon", I had no idea what I was in for. I had never heard about the movie prior to sitting down to watch it, so writer and director Stefan Lernous had every chance to entertain, impress and bedazzle me with this movie.
And he failed miserably. This movie was a swing and a miss in terms of entertaining me. The storyline and script was so bizarre and weird that I just could find no pleasure in sitting through it. There was nothing enjoyable here, because everything was so over-the-top strange that it was painful to witness.
Needless to say that I wasn't familiar with the cast ensemble in the movie. And I am sure that the actors and actresses on the cast list were doing good jobs. I just couldn't get into the storyline or the mood of the movie, and thus I didn't really enjoy the acting performances either.
Now, I am sure that there is an audience out there for a movie of this type of extraordinary bizarre nature, but I just wasn't a part of that particular audience.
This is definitely not a movie that will ever grace my screen a second time. In fact, I only made it about one-fifth through the 90 minutes runtime before I gave up on the ordeal, out of sheer and utter boredom. "Hotel Poseidon" is not a movie that I will recommend anyone to waste their time, money or effort on.
My rating of writer and director Stefan Lernous's 2021 movie "Hotel Poseidon" lands on a two out of ten stars. I would have rated the movie a single star, but the atmosphere, visuals and production in the movie were actually so good that they dragged the movie up a single star.
