Stometer Save your money for something good and enjoyable

Tobias Burrows It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

Deanna There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

ctomvelu-1 THE TRIANGLE is a 3-part miniseries, and reveals the tropical pitfalls of many miniseries: too much talk, too much padding, too little action, bad music, etc. What saves it from complete oblivion is the cast, which includes topflight names like Bruce Davison, Lou Phillips, Eric Stoltz (who practically steals this movie) and Sam Neill. A team of diverse experts is sent to the Berumda Triangle to investigate the disappearance of several ships, only to run afoul of the Navy's notorious Philadelphia Experiment. They then find themselves lost in a series of time and dimensional shifts. If anyone had half a brain, they;'d take this overly long drama and edit it into a 90-minute feature, the way the makers of the original SALEM'S LOT did. I love most of the actors here, but the thing goes on way too long and my interest eventually petered out -- well, except whenever Catherine Bell was on-screen. She can be fully clothed, with her hair tied back and wearing little or no makeup and still be skiers than most actresses dolled up and stark naked -- well, except for Virginia Madsen, but she's not in this movie.

gee-15 When viewing films of this type, the viewer automatically must accept a certain amount of "mumbo-jumbo". Given that this program is entitled "The Triangle", the normally skeptical viewer must be willing to suspend a great deal of disbelief. Not a problem. But the great weakness of this film is asking the viewer to basically take their disbelief and not only suspend it but throw if off the top of the highest peak in the Rocky Mountain Range.A few examples of "reasonable" suspensions of said beliefs:1. The Bermuda Triangle is really a place where ships and planes disappear.(Not true but I'm okay assuming this for the sake of an interesting film)2. The reason for the triangle has something to do with wormholes and "exotic material". (A hokey but acceptable science fiction premise)3. The disruptions in the triangle result in shifts in universe that are unexpected. (One of the more interesting aspects of the film. Okay with me!)Then we have some of the less reasonable suspensions:1. A multi-millionaire selects a team of four individuals (a journalist, a psychic, a meteorologist and an oceanographer) to solve the mystery of the Triangle. Oh, and they can't use any outside people. Oh, and they'll each get $5 million dollars if they're successful. AND they have to start right away. (My suspensometer is now starting to go "sproing!")2. Each individual has some tragic or sad backstory that manifests itself. (Does anyone have a normal life in these movies?)3. The meteorologist is a gung-ho professor who lives in an academic world where he can chuck all of his research and classes for an undetermined amount of time by having graduate students and undergraduates students "cover" for him. (You have got to be kidding!) 4. The psychic and journalist frequently engage in tepid debates about empirical vs.supernatural evidence. (Will these films EVER bother to actually have an interesting debate about this issue? It's worth discussing but, geez, do we have to trot out the old "there are things that science just can't understand because it's too close-minded to." Sorry it just burns me up that that is the level of sophistication that screenwriters can muster.)That's not to say that there aren't some scenes that are fairly interesting and even poignant. Catherine Bell's interaction with her birth mother in the alternate universe is quite affecting as is Lou Diamond Phillips' reactions to constant shifts in his family makeup. And yes, I must confess to finding a tear in my jaded eye when, at the end, Phillips turns over in his bed to see his youngest son lying next to him asleep. (However, what was the deal with Phillips' shower? What? In some alternate universe, the plumbing goes bad?)Then the big eye roller, they find out that the reason for the problem is related to "The Philadelphia Experiment" (Brother!) and a secret government project run by the Navy (What? The CIA too busy?) for forty years. (Which is, of course, why we've had a federal deficit!)Bottom line: A few good thing don't really add up to a terrific film. But it's an okay time waster.

chrispelyk Yesterday I saw a movie The Triangle it had some great actors in it and on the cover it said from the producers of XMen OK so what were the directors as well as the actors thinking or should I say smoking? This had to be the worst movie every made, it jumped all over the place huge holes and I mean Grand Canyon side holes in the story line, completely awful acting and just the dumbest story you could ever imagine. Sleep Away Camp 2 use to be my worst movie of all time, but it got knocked down a peg as this movie was just awful. I am guessing the script was written every day before the shoot.I honestly can not see how the movie reviewers said it was good Scott Weinberg, DVDTALK.COM and Staci Layne Wilson, ABOUT.COM both gave it positive reviews so my advice never listen to anything those two meat heads say ever again.The best part of the movie is in the extra's when the cast tells me how good the movie is and how much fun it was to make and how the story was very gripping, I guessing they were acting in another movie. Basically I have lost respect for those actors, have the guts to say the movie sucked or don't say anything at all. What a piece of JUNK.
