Sadly Over-hyped

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Excellent story about the famed 'hot spot'.Brad Crandall narrates this 1979 film which documents many of the strange disappearances that have occurred in the Triangle. Fine dramatizations make the film more immediate with just enough time spent there before the viewer is returned to Crandall's narrative.Among the stories reviewed are 'Flight 19', the 'Mary Celeste', the 'Cyclops', and the 'Philadelphia Experiment'. Many frightening moments with solid special-fx.Well worth the time and much better than many other versions of this phenomena. Recommended.

Very good docu-drama about the world's most famous 'hot-spot'.Fine film of humanity's past confrontations with strange goings-on in the 'devil's triangle', including true stories like 'Flight 19' where 5 American naval aircraft disappeared in the area of the triangle during a 'routine' training mission and the story of the ship 'Mary Celeste', as well as many other unexplained incidents. Good references to Charles Berlitz' book 'The Bermuda Triangle' and accounts competently documented in author David Group's book of the same name.Fun on the entertainment level also as narrator Brad Crandall trenchantly states, "Man cannot rest until we find out what is going on here in the Bermuda Triangle."

I watched this when I was in high school, and I took it for exactly what it was - a movie presented for fun. Unfortunately, I have no "scientific analysis" to present about it simply because there isn't anything to say. I will say that I vaguely remember going for a burger and fries after leaving the theater! There were a lot of movies about UFO's, Bigfoot, and big sharks back then, and I'm afraid no one really considered this feature to be any different. I found that it filled a need -we had fun watching it. Brad Crandall was at the height of his glory in a huge study full of neat model ships and a behemoth video player (which was amazing in itself back then). The special effects were a little cheesy, and the acting was a little corny, but all in all it was a fun movie. I recommend it for those who find the subject interesting. Please resist the temptation to be overly critical. "Exhaustive scientific research" is not called for.

I watched this as a kid on its original cinema run in the UK. I was nine years old and and the movie left a lasting impression on me- I can still vividly remember the stories (especially Flight 19 and the Philadelphia Experiment).I've wondered about the film for many years, as it's format was rather strange for a cinema movie- The stories (I believe taken from Charles Berliz books "The Bermuda Triangle" and "The Philadelphia Experiment") were supposably true. The movie takes on dramatised documentary form, complete with overly serious presenter.
