 Good Acting. Good Story. June 27, 2006

I rented Triangle of a whim at a local video store. Honestly, I exopected it to be a flop. Most sci-fi projects have a huge cheese factor, or are full of bad acting. The Triangle was anything but bad.
The acting was incredible, the plotting was strong, the characters were three dimensional, the special effects engaging, and the story? Well, the story was good enough to turn well worn ground (The Bermuda Triangle) into a fresh delight.
I highly recommend this mini-series.
The Ultimate Sci-Fi Mini-series!!! May 9, 2006

Wow! I can't believe anyone would give this less than 5 stars. The acting is fantastic (great cast!), the storyline is plausible, thrilling and action-packed. The special effects are insane (and there's more of them here than in X-men 2!)And the scientific quality of the movie is way above par for most sci-fi films of the last decade! Basically everyone involved is awesome.
Let me add another element here too. I have studied the Bermuda Triangle most of my life. I know all the theories, and this series manages to touch on all of them, while creating an entirely new and unpredictable explanation for the phenomena. The idea is highly unlikely naturally, but fascinating. It may help to be familiar with the subject so to speak, but even without, this is a mind-bending event. There are a plethora of paradoxes that work, ironies and events that are recurrent enough to keep everything tight and consistent. I think for anyone paying attention, this is a cinematic event that pays the viewer well for their time. In fact, as a huge cinemaphile, i think this mini-series is the best thing i've seen all year. Certainly better than any of the recycled drivel Hollywood had pumped out.
If you like action, solid acting, good cinematography, tight special effects, or any of the other elements that make watching a movie worthwhile, I highly recommend investing the 4 plus hours to see this. To Bryan Singer and Dean Devlin, thank you! I've been missing real science fiction!
Great movie with great scenery January 24, 2007

I saw this movie and was instantly involved in the plot of the story. The acting was well done and the characters of the movie were done very well. To me, the plot was very interesting involving the Bermuda Triangle. The disappearances of the boats and planes to the final explaination of the movie. Beautiful scenery of the movie only add to the already great movie that was told. I recommend this movie to anyone that wants to see an "on the edge of your seat thriller".
The Bermuda Triangle unravelled July 8, 2007

The Triangle is a miniseries originally broadcast on the Sci-Fi channel and now available on DVD. I rented the DVD over this weekend because it's about 255 minutes of running time broken into 3 episodes. This is a very original take on the Bermuda Triangle and time travel discrepancies.
You will enjoy this DVD if you enjoy other science fiction series like The 4400 - The Complete First Season or Heroes - Season 1. The producers include Bryan Singer, director of first 2 X-Men films and Superman Returns (Widescreen Edition) as well as Dean Devlin, producer of Stargate (Ultimate Edition) and Independence Day (Single Disc Widescreen Edition). The cast is exceptional with Eric Stoltz, Sam Neil (Jurassic Park (Widescreen Collector's Edition)), Lou Diamond Phillips, Catherine Bell, Bruce Davidson (twice in X-Men as Senator Robert Kelly), and Michael E. Rodgers. There is also two South African actors in the series with brief roles: Marius Weyers, still with a thick South African accent after all these years and Hakeem Kae-Kazim, originally from Nigeria but primarily based in South Africa. I've met Hakeem a few times and he has awesome energy about him.
The plot is simple - it seems. A very rich shipping magnate Eric Benirall (Sam Neill) recruits a group of misfits that include a journalist for a tabloid, a deep ocean resource engineer, a man with genuine psychic abilities and Meteorology professor. They band together in desperate times as they find weird coincidences or as Freud called them uncanny happenings. On the surface it seems straightforward, Benirall's company controls about 1/5th of all ships on the sea at any given time through his cargo company and has lost 6 ships in a short space of time. Later on more deeper reasons emerge as it turns out Benirall lost a brother in the Bermuda Triangle. Each one of the main cast have personal circumstances which adds depth to their characters. The navy it turns out is building a huge machine to counter the effects of the infamous Philadelphia Experiment, in which a ship allegedly disappeared in a scientific experiment in 1943. Please Google this name and read more about it. It has been an integral part of many conspiracy theories over the decades.
In summary this is a great action packed, sci-fi thriller. It's also reminiscent of the The X-Files - Fight the Future in many ways and pays homage to mixing hard core scientists, with sceptics, with soothsayers. This is a highly recommended DVD to all those who enjoy suspense, unusual events mixed with great science fiction and excellent performances by the cast. Just a final note - I was really chuffed this mini series was shoot mostly in Cape Town.
I loved this movie ! June 20, 2007

I saw this movie on the SciFi channel when it first came out. I loved it immediately and vowed that I would buy it as soon as it was available on Amazon.com. Since then, I have watched this movie many times and I am still not tired of seeing it. The actors are all very believable in their parts and the plot never leaves you bored. The whole mystery around the Burmuda Triangle is very interesting in itself. The movie presents several possibilities as to what is causing the disappearances of ships and planes in this area. I found them to be facinating whether or not any of them are true. Bottom line here -- this movie is interesting all of the way through.
