AMG Review of Poseidon [Music from the Motion Picture]

Poseidon, the soundtrack to director Wolfgang Peterson's remake of 1972's #Poseidon Adventure opens with two new mediocre tracks from Black Eyed Peas Fergie, who also appears as a lounge singer in the film, and an atmospheric piece from Latin folk/downbeat practitioner Federico Aubele. Those three cuts are the main selling points, as Constantine and Hannibal composer Klaus Badelt's bombastic score, though fun and over the top, could be pasted onto any action movie made in the last ten years with nary a drop in blood pressure.
