how much it moved you
Two separate readings, not parts of the score — the score says how much of it held you, these say what kind of watch it was.
Nobody has rated this on FlickFeel yet. This is public discussion of this title, read into a curve. It is not a rating and it never becomes one.
Read from 25 comments (23 from Metacritic, 2 from TMDB reviews) — 7 of them described how it moves.
Thin evidence — the shape below rests on 7 comments. The shaded band is how wide the uncertainty actually is, and it is drawn to scale.
Not enough people said when to name this shape. The line is what the evidence draws, not a finding.

“storms right out of the gates with its money shot, a flyby tour of the doomed ship's exterior from all angles that could be generously described as half as impressive as it sounds. The CGI looks like a student reel, amateurish and fake with some goofy footage of soon-to-be hero Josh Lucas jogging the upper decks awkwardly cut in. It's a downhill slide from there”

“Le temps d'exposition est très réduit et on passe rapidement au plat de résistance : voir tous ces bourges boire la tasse devient jubilatoire et très spectaculaire, nous faisant oublier cette chienlit interminable du Titanic à dormir debout.”

Published reviews, not felt experience — a different question from the one above, and never mixed into the FlickFeel score.
“It's a buoyant, old-wave disaster pic for a generation of well-conditioned thrill seekers charmed by the revelation that Richard Dreyfuss really is the Red Buttons of our day.”
Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly · 83
“Beyond being a showplace for crash-and-burn effects, Poseidon seems to be stumping for togetherness.”
Peter Rainer, Christian Science Monitor · 83
“A shot in the arm for the classic disaster movie: awesome effects, nail-biting tension and a cast of characters we don’t want dead after half an hour - even, amazingly, the cute kid.”
Simon Braund, Empire · 80
“You'll end up entertained if you forgive the cliches and let Petersen grab you with the visuals.”
Peter Travers, Rolling Stone · 75
“As clumsy as the movie is in many ways, it strings together maybe a dozen situations in which we are absolutely, excruciatingly, on the edge of our seats -- which is to say that the new Poseidon essentially does its job.”
William Arnold, Seattle Post-Intelligencer · 75

“I wouldn't put a lot of faith on what the captain says. I'm an architect, and these boats weren't designed to float upside down. After playing water games with "The Perfect Storm" six years previously, director Wolfgang Petersen returns to the water to reimage 1972's "The Poseidon Adventure" (novel by Paul Gallico). Story essentially finds a cruise liner capsized by chaotic weather and survivors try to make their way out of an upside world before the boat either sinks or the inrushing water ”

“Decided to give this one another shot, last time was probably when it came out on DVD. Didn't think much of it then and while it's nothing great and the CGI was spotty at times, I still thought it was fairly entertaining if not just another throwaway movie with not much of a lasting effect. On the one hand I can appreciate they didn't bother much with character development and giving us backstories that nobody gives two shits about, but on the other when a few eventually get killed, you really d”
