Intense, gripping, stylish and poignant
In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
View MoreEasily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
View More.Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
View MoreI am not a big fan of television because commercials offend me and burble the dynamics of most programming, especially movies. I saw this film on DVD. Accordingly, the continuity caused me to enjoy this film infinitely more than if I had seen it in small segments.I have piloted civil aircraft over the triangle many times, and the stories about it caused concern for me albeit never becoming a victim. As such, the premise of the film grappled my interest immediately. Expertly written, the screen play posed daunting questions about what may actually be occurring, and the actors brought this story to life with a high degree of professional acumen.What if the Navy, or some other government entity, is playing with the electromagnetic stability of a very precise region of the ocean? Is there a "crux event" in our future? Are real-life scientists trying to stop it or cause it? Having been in the military, nothing would surprise me, and quite frankly, the film inspired realistic causes for concern.Insofar as the movie is concerned, the ending made sense. A well crafted story portrayed by veteran and new, but talented, actors and hands-on directing is a winning formula. Nevertheless, I keep trying to separate fact from fiction in a story that could end in a frightfully different manner.
View MoreIt seems as if the movie was going on and as the plot got deeper and deeper, the finally realized, "oh we need an ending". We wont really explain anything but it will be one of those movies that deal with time, not like back to the future where it made sense and was understandable, no no, now a movie making sense is just too logical for most movie goers. OK we are going to go into hours of excruciating detail, really only address a small part of that, and when the film in the camera is running low..we will just end it. All the movie began all right which is why it got 4/10 for me, but about halfway they were still digging deeper into minutia, not really making much sense of anything, and the last 15 minutes of the movie appear to have been written while the writer was sitting on a toilet seat, is was just so ramshackle,
View MoreOK, this movie was about the Bermuda Triangle, which is/was supposedly east of Bermuda, which is east of Florida. So, why, SEVERAL times in the movie, did they refer to this area as being in the "Southern Atlantic Ocean" ?? If so, it would be south of the Equator, and it would be the "Brazil Triangle", or the "Argentina Triangle." It's one thing for a little kid to be fuzzy on basic geography, but when a "scientist" in a movie says these things.......p.s. Lou Diamond Philips' character made the whole thing worthwhile. He added emotional depth to the story; such depth is often lacking in these science-fiction films.
View MorePotentially quite good, but thoroughly ruined by lack of attention to storyline and development of characters. Clearly trying to capitalise on the success of Sci-Fi driven drama such as Lost/Invasion, but unfortunately forgetting to get the basics right. Eric Stolz and Sam Neill are both good actors. However, the dialogue they had to spout was glib nonsense and they knew it. Really disappointed with the cliché, disjointed storytelling and embarrassing script. Lost the will to live after 3 episodes...CGI special effects not particularly convincing and attention to detail very poor. The climax was confusing and the pseudo-science behind it very vague. Was it a weapon? Who was developing it? Who cares?
