This item has a double feature: The Poseidon Adventure and Blackbeard, Pirate, Rogue, and Adventurer. When I bought the movie combination I notice that this was a different version of Poseidon(this movie has two parts). Though the scenes were basically the same(with a twist), the storyline and plot were different. Instead of a giant tidal wave capsizing the ship during a storm on Christmas Eve, terrorists set explosives at strategic areas within the ship. Several terrorists boarded disguised as staff members so that they could detonate these bombs on Christmas Eve in the mist of a storm. As with the original, the survivors move through a maze of areas in search of an escape route. This version seems more realistic since there are indeed terrorists who are responsible for several bombings and other acts of violence throughout the world. Blackbeard-There are several versions to this movie. The original, starred Robert Newton as the notorious pirate. Another version by BBC is a miniseries starring James Purefoy and is suppose to be historically adequate. I must admit that I haven't saw these versions to comment on them. This version is a complete miniseries. This movie also comes in two parts. It stars Angus Macfadyen as Blackbeard. The movie is set in the 18th century, during the age of piracy. It story tells how Edward Teach became Blackbeard, his infamous pirate career, his search for Captain Kidd's treasure, and his eventual demised. I liked both movies. I felt both movies were well acted, believable, and informative. Both movies are about ships at sea. The past with Blackbeard's ship using sails and wind to propel it through the water, and The Poseidon using modern means of traveling through the ocean. Both movies bring together the past and the present.Read full review
