Movie Reviews of The Triangle
Movie Review: AMAZING TRIANGLE!
Summary: 5 Stars
An excellent mini series, The Triangle, brings to the screen the story of an unlikely group of people brought together by a mysterious millionaire wishing to find out more about the Bermuda Triangle.
I started to watch this series with very low expectations and boy was I surprised! The series starts off with a bang, immediately catching the viewer's interest and attention and never letting go. The plot as a whole is excellent! It is so incredibly done that one feels that they have been transported away and are actually present among the characters, seeing what they see, feeling what they feel, sensing what they sense.
On the down side, initially I did not care much for Emily Paterson, the deep ocean resource engineer, though by the end of the series she had become quite likable.
Moreover, Bruce Geller, the Australian professor of meteorology seemed much more like a surfer than a university professor.
Additionally, for someone who just lost his son and daughter-in-law, and found out that his granddaughter is an old woman kidnapped by the Navy, grandpa is taking it pretty calmly (and so is grandma)!
Nevertheless, Lou Diamond Phillips, Sam Neil, and the rest of the cast, have truly outdone themselves with their performances. Very well written and very well presented, it combines drama, action, and adventure, making it a film guaranteed to provide more than just a few thrills.
The setting, the plot, the dialogues, the special effects, and the music are all wonderful!
In short, The Triangle is a series definitely worth watching and one to seriously consider adding to your movie collection! It would be great if there were to be a second series...
Movie Review: The Ultimate Sci-Fi Mini-series!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
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!
Movie Review: If you're expecting the triangle to be Ménage à trios, you will be disappointed.
Summary: 5 Stars
This miniseries has to do with the different type of triangle. The type that I am familiar with as a former visitor to Georgia's Buford triangle formed by the intersection of I-985 and I-85. Here drivers can get lost for hours and when they emerged they seem to be hours older.
Shipping tycoon Eric Benirall (Sam Neill) has been losing ships and we suspect more than that. So he puts together an unlikely team of obscure experts to try and figure out what has been happing to his ships. He offers each 5 million dollars or nothing. The team consists of Howard Gregory Thomas (Eric Stoltz) a reporter for the Observer, Stan Lathem (Bruce Davison) a psychic, Emily Myredith Patterson (Catherine Bell), a Deep ocean resource engineer, and Bruce Geller (Michael E. Rodgers) a professor of meteorology.
Together with the help of victims such as Meeno Paloma (Lou Diamond Phillips) a Greenpeace save the wails activist. And using some firsthand experience they try to fathom the problem and may have discovered something more sinister.
If you are a Sam Neill fan then a must see is Reilly - Ace of Spies ~ Sam Neill
Movie Review: I loved this movie !
Summary: 5 Stars
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.Movie Review: Good Acting. Good Story.
Summary: 5 Stars
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.
