Editorial Review: TRIANGLE THE (DVD MOVIE) The Triangle Reviews: The Triangle  2009-11-04 - I purchased this based on reviews I read on Amazon. I previously had purchased "The Lost Room" also a Sy-Fy production and was very pleased with it. So I was hoping for something at least as good. This mini series did have high production values and the acting was first rate, but the story was a little mediocre. It was kind of a mishmash of other films and myths loosely pressed together. I kept waiting for something really cutting edge or a spectacular ending and was left disappointed. Although, unlike other reviews I think Lou Diamond Philips inclusion was necessary to give a more personal human element to the story and was not a drag or superfluous. The average viewer could have come up with improvements to the story, I found myself doing that as I watched, however, there's no point in saying what should've been in the story, it is what it is, but the writers really fell down on the job. I gave it 3 stars for the acting and good special effects, but it's a coin toss as far as purchasing.
I gotta say, I really enjoyed this.  2009-08-19 - I know, I know, it's a Sci-Fi (now SyFy) original feature, which immediately calls it's own existence into question, but this is far above the level of "Savage Planet," "Sasquatch Mountain," "Alien Apocalypse," "Manticore" or--dare I say it?--"Mansquito".
But you've got an all-star cast: Eric Stoltz; Bruce Davison; Sam Neill; Lou Diamond Phillips; Charles Martin Smith; and Catherine Bell. You've also got Dean Devlin ("Stargate" [the movie]), Rockne S. O'Bannon ("Farscape") and Bryan Singer ("The Usual Suspects," X-Men movies, etc.) behind the story. And you've got a budget of $22 million (as compared with the usual SyFy budget of about, I believe, $1 million).
The story is engaging, fun and always keeps you guessing, hanging on for more. The only character who doesn't seem to have much of a purpose (i.e. you might not need him) is the one played by Lou Diamond Phillips. But that's not a big deal or distraction.
All in all, a good miniseries with a good storyline, good special effects and good acting. Definitely worth a look.
The Triangle  2009-05-21 - It's a good movie to watch, the movie moves along at a good pace. The story keeps you wondering what's next.
The Triangle  2009-04-07 - I brought this DVD last year. The movie is great. Good acting, Good plot, excellent special effects. One of science fictions best. Not overly complicated where you need a college degree in physics and quantum theory just to understand the story! Very thought provoking. Worth the trip! Go ahead. Get lost in the Triangle too.
The Triangle  2009-01-07 - This DVD is the made for TV movie that aired a few years ago. It is very interesting and deals with the mystery of the bermuda triangle. It is a movie that has scientific roots as well as science fiction liberties. A good choice action and entertainment.
