Leans Left
Primary
The film's central subject of human survival against a natural disaster is inherently apolitical, and its narrative equally emphasizes individual courage and collective action without promoting a specific ideological viewpoint.
The movie features a visibly diverse cast, including minority actors in key roles, but it does not engage in explicit race or gender swaps of traditionally white characters. The narrative focuses on survival and portrays traditional identities neutrally or positively, without incorporating explicit DEI critiques or themes.
Secondary
The film features Richard Nelson, an openly gay architect, as a significant and positively portrayed character. His sexuality is normalized and not central to the plot, yet he is depicted with dignity, intelligence, and bravery, contributing heroically to the survival efforts without any negative stereotypes or outcomes related to his identity.
The character of the ship's captain, Captain Michael Bradford, was portrayed by a Black actor (Andre Braugher) in the 2006 film. In the 1972 source film, the equivalent character, Captain Harrison, was portrayed by a white actor (Leslie Nielsen), constituting a race swap.
The film is a disaster movie focused on survival against environmental threats. There are no scenes depicting female characters engaging in or winning close-quarters physical combat against male opponents. The narrative does not feature human antagonists.
The 2006 film "Poseidon" is a reimagining of the 1972 movie "The Poseidon Adventure." While it features similar character archetypes, it primarily introduces new characters or renames existing ones without changing the established gender of any specific, named character from the source material.
