Good concept, poorly executed.
Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
UFO Pictures movies are usually not much to write home about, and that's an understatement. Lost Voyage is not a bad movie at all. Of course, it does have its flaws, the biggest debit being the ending, which underwhelmed me in the sense that it does little to provide explanation to what was happening and why. But there is also some dialogue that felt a little rushed and contrived, uneven pacing and characters that are blandly developed. On the other hand, technically Lost Voyage is not bad at all, the settings are grim but fitting with the film's theme while the effects especially for UFO Pictures are decent. The music is haunting, and the story while predictable in set up is actually suspenseful and quite spooky. The acting is better than average, both Judd Nelson and Lance Henrikssen granted has done better but both are solid in Lost Voyage and the female roles are more than just beautiful people just there to be only that. All in all, not bad. 6/10 Bethany Cox
So this cruise ship that was missing for 30 years suddenly turns up, and at the flip of a switch its lights go on. In the galley there is a bin of potatoes looking as fresh as ever. In the one passenger cabin that we get to see, a wallet and pocket change are where they were left 30 years ago, undisturbed atop the headboard of the bed. For that matter, the bedclothes show not a wrinkle. The only sign of disaster is that all of the passengers and crew are missing.Do the TV and salvage crews who visit the ship find anything strange about this? Nope. They're so profoundly stupid that if they could actually hear the cheesy "evil" music and voices that are repeated endlessly in the background of this movie, they probably wouldn't think there was anything strange about that either.Our "hero," the pudgy Judd Nelson, makes it clear from the start that he eschews superstition and sensationalism. He is a scientist! After all, he has brought along scientific gizmos that detect ghosties and ghoulies.Well, it isn't long before really strange things begin happening, and people start getting killed in horrible ways. Even people as stupid as these characters begin to suspect that all is not well. And before you know it, wonders proliferate, and the movie ends with a fireworks show made up of zooming and soaring demons.The thing about belief in ghosts, demons, and the like is that if you believe in them, you end up believing in anything. Leprechauns, vampire, werewolves, angels, Virgin Mary visitations, banshees--you name it. Wonders indeed proliferate, and before you know it all sense goes out the window.The acting is so bad that by the end of the first scene I started to groan. The special effects were anything but special. And that ship! It was supposed to be a cruise ship, not quite the floating city of today's cruise vessels, but still... They must have gotten the use of a freighter to film this. You never see the common areas that any cruise ship would have--the dining room, the promenade deck, the entertainment facilities, the swimming pool, and all the rest. And what you do see, down in the bowels of the ship, looks pretty grungy. We do get to see one "stateroom," which could have been filmed in any motel.This one is a real stinker.
Several years ago, young Aaron Roberts watched his father and stepmother board the luxury ship Carona Queen...never to see them again.When the Carona Queen mysteriously reappears, Aaron Roberts joins a tabloid journalist's team to board the ship and try and discover where it went...and why it came back.The cast, especially Judd Nelson and Lance Henriksen, are quite good. Henrikson and Nelson both avoid the temptation to ham up material like this, turning in credible performances.and the film itself? Much MUCH better than a made for TV movie would have you believe, i actually enjoyed it more than the similarly themed Ghost Ship. Couple good jumps and a decent plot.
This may be a must to avoid. The bizarre reappearance of a luxury liner lost in the Bermuda Triangle twenty five years ago has curious visitors determined to solve its mysteries. Judd Nelson somehow finds his way into sinkers, I mean stinkers like this one. Pretty much a waste. Also in the cast are:Janet Gunn, Lance Henriksen and Scarlett Chorvat.
