I loved this miniseries, obviously i only watched it because it had Catherine Bell in it but overall it was very well done and held my interest all the way through.

Singer and Devlin did a marvellous job!!

reply

Yes, indeed! That would be a more fitting title; Awesome awesome awesome!
I loved it too. I thought it was very entertaining and compelling. The characters were interesting and I cared about them, especially Stoltz' char and of course Meeno.

Great miniseries! Really don't understand how you could not like it...



I carry your heart; I carry it in my heart.

reply

Yes, you like crap.

reply

Catherine Bell is a hottie, but the acting was terrific as I would expect from Eric Stoltz. Also with the writing of Rockne Bannon and the direction of Bryan Singer, they couldn't miss.

Great pacing, intriguing story, and just very entertaining. Far better than the 2005 Michael Bay film, The Island, which was a complete rip off of countless other movies and books written in the last 75 years.

I wish I had read this before and then taken your advice, by far and away the worst piece of crap I have ever seen. I loved the extra bit on the DVD when Lou Diamond Phillips talks about how good the movie is, I was laughing as I think he was having a hard time keeping a straight face while he siad it.
What a waste of two hours shuold have gone and got a tooth pulled!!!

reply

Im gonna buy this the second it comes out on DVD.

reply

The Triangle is already out on DVD but not available in all countries. I know that here in Australia it didn't come out so i had to buy it from the UK.

reply

i definitely thought it was awesome first of all you have to watch it all the way through all three episodes which are an hour each so were talking three hours. also its out in america i know it cause ive owned it for three months now.

reply

I was also one of those who loved this miniseries. I think I would also love to own it on DVD as I thought this was a very interesting theory that they presented. Paralell universes is a fascinating theory, as is the ever fascinating theories about what happens in the Bermuda Triangle.

reply

This is a series for avid lovers of science fiction pertaining to time travel, time manipulation, string theory, parallel universes, everything under the umbrella of speculative fiction.

If that's not your cup of tea you probably won't like this mini-series, but sadly most people who just cry out that it's awful lack the insight to consider that it's not awful because obviously it's not a problem with them it's a problem with the mini-series of and by itself.

People are always so arrogant.

I personally think it wasn't worth my time. I have a huge movie collection and in principle I watch everything for both work and leisure but I must say that this miniseries was hugely disappointing.
It was slow, repetitive and the director (and DoP) work was quite annoying stretching every scene to the extreme jumping around with the camera repeating the same thing over and over.
After 2 third of the movie I decided to fast forward (I never do that, only in very rare situations when I am really tired of something but I want to anyway watch it to the end) keeping the subtitles on. Even so it became predictable and could anticipate the "twists" if there were any.
I think it has been one of the worst SciFi film I have watched and even though I have over 12000 titles in my collection I decided to give this title away, really I don't even want to keep it as I am quite annoyed for the time I wasted watching it.

Kupotek:
"This is a series for avid lovers of science fiction pertaining to time travel, time manipulation, string theory, parallel universes, everything under the umbrella of speculative fiction."
I am a BIG fan of those things, and yet I thought it sucked in every imaginable way . So I think you are assuming a lot without any merit.

"If that's not your cup of tea you probably won't like this mini-series"
So there is no other way to dislike it?

"but sadly most people who just cry out that it's awful lack the insight to consider that it's not awful because obviously it's not a problem with them it's a problem with the mini-series of and by itself."
An insight I'm sure you will claim to you possess. That's very humble of you.
Look, the truth is that the film was terrible in so many ways: writing, editing, directing etc. But I will agree with you that Bell is hot and Stoltz is a good actor.
I am surprised that Singer would make such crap, but I guess the crapiness of Dean Devlin was even too much for Singer, he was outmatched.

"People are always so arrogant."
That's a pretty arrogant thing to say, wouldn't you say?
I am always dubious of people not being able to criticize a product (when I say "criticize", I mean listing good reasons/WHY?). It really is a talent in itself. If you want a good scifi film that ran on scify, watch "5ive Days of Midnight". MUCH better story and actors. But here is a honest look on it (I see and admit to the flaws despite liking it): the end is a complete cop-out and the slow-mo effects are really annoying! Other than that, if you thought The Triangle was half-decent, then you will love 5DTM. Enjoy!

I started reading this post then thought...This sounds exactly like MilkyWay. lo and behold...

reply

And who might you be?

reply

Kupotoek, does it hurt?

This is by far one of the worst mini series out there, awful dialogue, terrible writing, at least had decent actors. I still can't belive this is the same director who directed the wonderful storm of the century.

"Wait!" "Worry" "Who Cares?"

What are you talking about. This was a very interesting mini-series. Cool, interguing and one of the best Sci-Fi mini series I have seen. Good story, good characters and special effects for something on TV. I own it and have seen it twice and would see it again. This is not crap or a total waste of time.

reply

I agree, it's actually quite a good series, I've watched it a few times over the years and always enjoy the story and pacing and ending.

It's not perfect, far from it, but it's a very good series.

All you people who think you're Geniuses - give everyone a break and stop convincing others. If you're not sane enough to understand that everyone has a UNIQUE taste, then for sanity's sake, stop writing reviews in such harsh negative tones. I loved the series and I don't question why you hated it (I'm not interested). Not everyone is supposed to like everything, so relax mates.

I rate it right alongside "The Lost Room".

reply

i respect your opinion but,this was an awesome mini-series.Between this & ''The Lost Room'' i think Syfy finally out did themselves. Although Syfy Hasnt Put Much out Recently. 5 Days To Midnight Was Also Good!

reply

If you didn't like this, take comfort in the fact that MILLIONS of people disagree with you.

No, I don't care what you think. Really. Don't bother replying.

reply

Yeah, incredible overrated crapfest. The typical Syfy *beep* I'm still looking for at least one decent movie made by it...

reply

I realize the OP is long gone and this is a necro-thread but anyone who is so arrogant that thinks they know what everyone likes and tells us to not watch something THEY didn't like is a complete asshat.

I'm quite enjoying it.
