Product: Triangle (2009)
Rating: 3.0
ok, for an Australian movie with fake American accents.
Once I got over the fact that this an Australian movie, but I guess because they wanted to involve the Bermuda triangle, some fake American accents from Australian actors where needed. At first it was making me cringe at how phony it was sounding, but once the story started to develop, I was able to get into what was going on, and find a decent story behind it all.So, Melissa George plays a woman with an autistic son, which seemed to be irrelevant to the plot, till the end... well, the autistic thing IS irrelevant, but having a son isn't... she is invited out for a sail with some dork and his friends, and find themselves in a weird situation where the sea has become calm, and their is pretty much no wind at all... that's when the clouds grow gray, lightning forms and I guess they are now entering the paranormal world of the Bermuda Triangle... which would explain why it needed American accents, as a bunch of Australians filming a movie in Australia and having something too closely related to a Bermuda Triangle incident would just leave viewers saying it would have been better if they just used Bermuda and blah blah blah.They find themselves boarding a mysterious ship that seems to have no one aboard it, and that's when a groundhog day kind of events begins to occur, and all she wants to do is get off the ship and go pick up her kid from school... by the time the movie is over, you will understand why such and such things do not happen, as one or two reviewers have stated "why didn't she just gather every one and her selves in a room together to figure it out"... well, the ending obviously went over their heads and they can't work that answer out for themselves.Overall, it's a decent rental and even better D/L, but not really something that will have much replay value once you've seen it.
