Good - But Unoriginal if You've Seen TimeCrimes
Triangle was good, but with one catch: It has already been done as a movie. Save for the film's setting and story changes, the film's concept was taken from the 2007 movie "Los Cronocrímenes", also known as TimeCrimes.If you haven't seen Triangle, I won't spoil it by pointing out the obvious similarities between the two movies. While Triangle was well shot and well-acted by Melissa George, the film's concept would have been much more powerful if I hadn't seen it before. The exact moment that the ship's killer is first seen, I immediately knew where the story was going. Even the killer's disguise was entirely borrowed from the TimeCrimes story.Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed watching Triangle. Certain elements of the story are unique, and I was happy with the cast. But ultimately, the film lost most of it's spark once I realized that the film's main concept was borrowed from a popular sci-fi movie from Spain. So while Triangle is worth checking out, I would absolutely suggest that you watch TimeCrimes as well.
