... View MoreStrange phenomena has been occurring in the Sargasso Sea or the Bermuda Triangle since early seafaring. Columbus in 1492 encounters a modern ship and loses 2 men in a strange event. In the present, ship magnate Eric Benerall (Sam Neill) finds those two men and his own men dead on one of his ships. He recruits certain experts to solve the mystery for $5 million each. Howard Thomas (Eric Stoltz) is a reporter investigating Triangle cases. Emily Patterson (Catherine Bell) is a skilled engineer. Stan Lathem (Bruce Davison) is a psychic. Bruce Geller (Michael E. Rodgers) is an extreme adventurer. Meeno Paloma (Lou Diamond Phillips) leads a Greenpeace expedition against whalers when giant bubbles take down the whaling ship and the Greenpeace boat. Meeno is the sole survivor but he returns to find the world oddly different.This is a 3 part Sci-Fi mini-series. I really like part one as the mystery gets laid out. The production is pretty good for a TV show. It's set up for something interesting. The second part starts to show some cracks. I don't like some of the turns with the mystery. I don't care about Lou Diamond Phillips' part of the story. I also don't like the team being split up. Part three does a competent job wrapping the story up. This TV series starts out strong but loses some of its steam.
... View MoreI saw it last night all in one hit. Four hours of it. My only thoughts were that the second half was subject to cutting and editing, that seemed to sometimes present a bit disjointed. It didn't really spoil it.I thought it was an entertaining project, and like all Sci-Fi was somewhat incredulous. So what. The special effects were great. I would hire it on DVD too, to watch it again, so it couldn't be that bad. The idea of a shift in time and space was good, however, that is a heady presumption for a lot of us mere mortals to digest. How did some remember what had gone on before, and others conveniently forget it.It's a shame they missed out on their 5 million, I thought that they would get a bit of it as compensation as one brother obviously remembered their input. Carl was in a time/space limbo, but his brother who hired them must have remembered. That bit confused me somewhat.
... View MoreThought 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.
... View MoreThe 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.
