Entertaining diversion from Bryan Singer, Dean Devlin and Rockne O'Bannon, Mar 30 2006
By WTDK "If at first the idea is not absurd, the... - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Triangle (DVD)
Billionaire and shipping mogul Eric Benirall (Sam Neil)contacts four people (Eric Stoltz, Bruce Davidson, Catherine Bell and Michael Rodgers)with expertise in different from psychic ability to weather conditions with one skeptical reporter in the mix to discover why his ships keeping disappearing in the Sargasso Sea or the Bermuda Triangle. When a 747 goes down into the area and they investigate they discover the plane looks like its been submerged for fifty or sixty years. When they come back from the region they begin having strange experiences suggesting that reality has somehow been altered for them.A fun diversion, "The Triangle" comes with a good pedigree; it's written by Rockne O'Bannon who created "Farscape" based on a story by O'Bannon, Bryan Singer (director of "The X-Men", "Superman Returns" and "The Usual Suspects")and Dean Devlin (co-producer and writer of "Independence Day" and "Stargate"). These three come up with a unique story that is an involving and fascinating puzzle.
Lion's Gate has the mini-series on two discs with a play all feature for the episodes. There's also a promotional featurette that ran on the Sci-Fi Channel included. The extras are disappointing to say the least with no commentary track, no featurettes on the production (outside of the promo one)or the visual effects on the show. The image quality of the series is top notch throughout most of the set although some of the night scenes could have used a bit more contrast.
Overall this is a fine mini-series with some top notch performances that recalls "The X-Files" in terms of the strong plotting and mystery. While the second episode felt stretched a bit the show is an entertaining diversion. This is a terrific set despite the lack of extras and well worth watching if you're a science fiction or fantasy fan.

Good Acting. Good Story., Jun 26 2006
By Wisconsin Dad - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Triangle (DVD)
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.

One side of the triangle, May 19 2006
By Daniel Lee Taylor "dan57" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Triangle (DVD)
Good mini series from the sci-fi channel. What elevates this offering is the cast. Take all the movies about the Bermuda Triangle and squeeze them together and you have the plot. This show may have gotten 5 stars if the plot lines were thinned down a bit and the remaining expanded. All in all it is a fun thing to watch. It can definitely spark the dorm room bull session with the right company of viewers, those who believe or would like to believe in things beyond our perception. If you think the triangle is just a load, skip it. The rest of us, enjoy.
