Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

Zzzzzzzzzzzz--- oh sorry, I didn't see you there. I was just taking a little nap. You see, I was watching 'Beyond the Bermuda Triangle' and I dozed off. Can't imagine why.... it was so (*cough*) interesting.The plot of the film involves some has-been actors-- I mean, local islanders, who begin investigating the disappearance of various boatniks. Fred MacMurray leads the pack by taking aimless excursions through the Everglades via ship and plane to look for the lost idiots-- I mean, people. Donna Mills stands around doing nothing in particular except making out with boyfriend Sam Groom before she refuses his marriage proposal (she's gotta do what's right for her.... whatever that may be). Dana Plato is sweet as the daughter of a vanished couple.Minor sea adventure has the presence of MacMurray and pretty scenery, not much else. (*Yawn*).... excuse me while I resume my nap.

Pretty cool story about some folks in the 'Triangle' who are either lost or trying to find out the whereabouts of others whom have already become lost.Fred MacMurray dons his little captain's hat which he bought at the local boat shop so he can pretend he's King of the Sea or something, Sam Groom is his aquatic entrepreneurial protégé, and Donna Mills is Sam's chick. Donna is beautiful, which is what held my attention for the duration. Sweet Dana Plato is a little girl whose parents have disappeared in this most famous 'hot-spot'.Somewhat mundane TV-movie (most TV-movies in the 70's sucked), but concomitantly interesting. It will help to be buzzed while you watch. I'm buzzed right now on Admiral Nelson's Spiced Rum and I've got this flick on TV as I type this-- .... wait a second! I think Donna is going to take off her top!.... Gotta go!

The Bermuda Triangle(or Devil's Triangle) was a very hot topic in the 1970s, in films, television, and a number of best-selling books. It's a little surprising there weren't more TV films made on the subject, then, frankly.BTBT is a mid-level mystery/horror effort in which Fred MacMurray investigates the disappearances of aircraft, and boats/ships in the area off of Florida's eastern coast. Donna Mills is on hand to offer her stunning beauty, as is the ill-fated Dana Plato whose first credit this was, I believe. She gives a performance with a nice touch of pathos as the young girl who has recently lost her mother to the Triangle.Mills wasn't yet terribly well-known although she was popping up often on television by this point. Her performance is engaging, and it's always nice to see her, of course.The film meanders along somewhat, which modern viewers will probably find somewhat tedious, but there is a nice twist at the conclusion for those patient enough to wait for it. Used to be shown on local indi stations, and cable fairly-often, but seems to have disappeared it self, more or less. Wonder if it's available on disc? For those of us who recall the usually excellent made-for-TV suspense/horror/sci-fi films of the 1970s, I imagine most would like to own it for the sake of completeness.

A classic example of a film which sadly fizzles when it really ought to sizzle. The basic premise is certainly intriguing enough: a handful of folks in planes and boats alike mysteriously vanish in the legendary Bermuda Triangle located just off the coast of Florida. Alas, William A. Graham's blandly by-the-numbers direction crucially fails to provide any much-needed suspense, vitality and spooky atmosphere. Instead the movie gets bogged down in a tedious surplus of dull talk, with precious few scares or action to alleviate the general boredom. The cast do their best with the meandering story: Fred MacMurray gives a typically robust and amiable performance as an affable retired wealthy businessman while both Sam Groom and Donna Mills are solid and engaging as an estranged young couple. Plus future "Different Strokes" TV sitcom star Dana Plato pops up as a spunky little girl whose mother disappears in the Devil's Triangle. Gayne Rescher's pretty, picturesque photography and Harry Sukman's suitably shivery'n'sinister score are likewise up to par. But only at the very end does this largely lethargic snoozer finally come to life and deliver some excitement with a fairly creepy zinger of a surprise ending, but by then it's way too little much too late to redeem this mediocre timewaster.
