The Triangle (2005)
7/10
Enjoyable, intriguing and yet....

"The Triangle" is audacious if nothing else. Good cast with well known names, famous producers, good credentials all around. The interplay of character study with the Bermuda Triangle makes for good viewing. The first third was an accomplished polished presentation worthy of any cinema. The second was perhaps not as strong but with the heart-wrenching situation so well portrayed by Lou Diamond Philips and the teasers at the end it stands up. The third section, excoriated by several critics on this site, was more challenging: here was the solution to the Triangle. Unfortunately the writers chose play to the intellect with the solution, a solution into which I will not venture lest I spoil things completely for anyone, but I will say that it might help to have some notions of non-Aristotelan causality to really enjoy it. I found "The Triangle" different from what I expected, somewhat uneven, but I am glad to have seen it and glad I recorded it for future viewing.
