Movie Reviews of The Triangle
Movie Review: The Bermuda Triangle unravelled
Summary: 5 Stars
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.
