Storyline

While chasing a whaler, the Greenpeace boat sinks with the vessel, pulled by a mysterious force underwater and only Meeno Paloma survives. Meanwhile, after the disappearance of six ships in the Bermuda Triangle in one year, the millionaire owner of the Mineral Shipping Lines Eric Benerall hires the skeptical journalist of The Observer Howard Thomas; the scientist Bruce Geller; the offshore engineer Emily Patterson and the psychic Stan Lathem to investigate the reasons for the phenomenon in the area. If the team succeeds in their quest for the truth, each one would receive five million dollars. They find a high-tech underwater facility from the Navy, and each one of them has glimpses of alternative reality after their discovery. They conclude that the experiment conducted by the Navy is affecting the electromagnetic balance of the ocean, while trying to find a way to close the dimensional tear opened by the Philadelphia Experiment. But they believe that the procedure actually will open...

User Reviews

An excellent made for TV show. Way above the norm.

This was a great little series. All the acting was top notch, not a single weak link.The special effects were adequate for a TV movie, ranging from pretty good to just short of great.

The story was fantastic, very original and sometimes down right creepy, especially Lou Diamond Phillips character. All the story lines tied nicely into a pretty exciting climax and a satisfying conclusion.

If TV was this good all the time i would subscribe to cable, sadly this is more of a exception then a rule, so I now own it on DVD.The DVD has a "making of" featurette that was enjoyable too.

Definitely worth watching if you are a SIFI fan.
