The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

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.

Thought this film was going to be interesting and quickly found out it was nothing that I have not heard before about missing planes, ships and people being lost completely in the Bermuda Triangle. The actors held this picture together with great acting by Sam Neil, Eric Stoltz and Bruce Davison. The TV Series of this story bomb out after a few showings and this film goes around and around in circles and you quickly lose track of just what the film is really about. The ending will leave you high and dry and you will feel like the story just came to a complete ending before it should have. Don't waste your time on this film, it was a big disappointment to me.

The mini-series started very well. I just watched it on DVD for it's four plus hours. I found it entertaining but I found the climax lacking. In the final third of the film, it was difficult to keep the story lines completely straight. I thought I noticed two time line errors, and will have to re-watch it to determine if I reached for the popcorn at the wrong time. When Lou Diamond's character survives and comes home, he is apparently in a different time-band, (hello Stargate SG1) as he makes mention that his truck was blue. In the time-band that he returned to, it is not blue and he now has a younger son, which he never had. In part three, he apparently returns to his original time band, as his wife tells him he has no younger son, but yet is truck is not blue? In part three, the sexy female lead, (A MUST HAVE IN ALL FILMS) sits down to have dinner with her mother, who she never knew as in her reality, as she was given up for adoption. She learns her real mother's name for the first time. Eric Stoltz's character than somehow manages to reverse time, which would have prevented this mother-daughter exchange from occurring, and they then all work together to save the world. Later, the sexy female lead, still knows her mother's name, which she should not, as she learned it in a time line that did not take place, or only did for Stoltz's character. No one has mentioned these two errors, so it is possible I am incorrect. Overall, a pretty good film, but should have been edited down to a two part series.

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.
