Those who set sail with the latter will receive a boatload of bonus extras, such as the featurettes Poseidon: A Ship on a Soundstage (explaining the complexities of making this modern adventure movie), A Shipmate’s Diary (following a film-school intern’s experiences on the set) and Poseidon: Upside Down (a look at the unique set-design). Also included are a History Channel documentary titled Rogue Waves and the theatrical trailer. Subtitles are provided in English, Spanish and French.
