Gripping story with well-crafted characters

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

Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

Excellent story about the famed 'hot spot'.Brad Crandall narrates this 1979 film which documents many of the strange disappearances that have occurred in the Triangle. Fine dramatizations make the film more immediate with just enough time spent there before the viewer is returned to Crandall's narrative.Among the stories reviewed are 'Flight 19', the 'Mary Celeste', the 'Cyclops', and the 'Philadelphia Experiment'. Many frightening moments with solid special-fx.Well worth the time and much better than many other versions of this phenomena. Recommended.

I watched this when I was in high school, and I took it for exactly what it was - a movie presented for fun. Unfortunately, I have no "scientific analysis" to present about it simply because there isn't anything to say. I will say that I vaguely remember going for a burger and fries after leaving the theater! There were a lot of movies about UFO's, Bigfoot, and big sharks back then, and I'm afraid no one really considered this feature to be any different. I found that it filled a need -we had fun watching it. Brad Crandall was at the height of his glory in a huge study full of neat model ships and a behemoth video player (which was amazing in itself back then). The special effects were a little cheesy, and the acting was a little corny, but all in all it was a fun movie. I recommend it for those who find the subject interesting. Please resist the temptation to be overly critical. "Exhaustive scientific research" is not called for.

Now, this is not a horror picture, but it managed to chill me once or twice. But that was probably because I was all alone and I was looking out my window thinking about the possibility of UFO activity. The rest of this film is composed of several segments that are to show what supposedly happened to some of the planes and ships that have disappeared within the Bermuda Triangle.Based on the book by Charles Berlitz, and narrated by Brad Crandall, this film gives numerous explanations to what could have possibly happened.*Maybe a spoiler* Ranging from everything from UFO's that come from the sky, UFO's from the water, unexplained whirlpools, magnetic warps and even the possibility of the lost continent of Atlantis having to do with some of it.Now, the special effects were really cheap. But you can't blame them. It was good for the time period. If you want to see an account of some of the events that have taken place within the Bermuda Triangle, then see this film. It really gives some of the facts and tells how all of the many disappearances go unreported or unnoticed. So, all in all, I thought it was okay. THE BERMUDA TRIANGLE: 5/5.

I watched this as a kid on its original cinema run in the UK. I was nine years old and and the movie left a lasting impression on me- I can still vividly remember the stories (especially Flight 19 and the Philadelphia Experiment).I've wondered about the film for many years, as it's format was rather strange for a cinema movie- The stories (I believe taken from Charles Berliz books "The Bermuda Triangle" and "The Philadelphia Experiment") were supposably true. The movie takes on dramatised documentary form, complete with overly serious presenter.
