    This movie is a gem.

    I honestly cannot understand the poor rating this movie has obtained by the users of www.imdb.com. This is one of my favorite movies, simply beautiful and full of hope. I give the maximum of points and invite all of you to watch it whenever you have the opportunity. There are many Bermuda Triangle movies but, undoubtedly, this is the best!

    Unbearable sweet boredom

    The movie is cheap story about Bermuda Triangle with basically no plot at all. Fortunately it does not pretend to contain any wisdom, basically it is movie about nothing for the "whole family". It feels like paid vacation for the film crew on some pleasant island. Everything is nice, petty, there is almost no danger - "just a family movie".

    This may work for some undemanding viewers who just want to spend free afternoon, but it was presented as a "thriller" to me. There are no thrills and the movie is very slow and very boring. I had to fast forward the movie, because the very slow pace and all the pretty Caribbean leisure time was simply unbearable. Seriously, it is as much fun to watch as home vacation video.

    What is worst of all, the movie ends abruptly with absolutely nonsense twist. It is not surprising or unexpected - it simply seems that the filmmakers just run out of the money so they ended the movie somewhat. I have been very disappointed.

    sick child

    i have always been a believer in natures healing power....yes its only a movie but to me I believe....when the boy had a diabetic attack the Indians on the island used natures leaves to heal him.... mom thinking it was temporary she realized nature wiped out his diabetes for good....just saying that governments spend billions of dollars on medicinal research when the cure for all illnesses lays there in the amazon....and many people will agree with me is that they don't want the cure for some diseases that rake in billions for corporations they ant to keep the cure locked away...so to say...."we billion dollar pharmaceutical companies and medical research companies will make no more money if we release cures for cancer,diabetes,m.s.,"....I don't hear much about it but a doctor in Colombia cured a lady with parkinsons disease it was so bad she couldn't even hold a cup of water she would shake so violently she went to doctor and whatever he did cured her....and Michael j. fox suffers from it...there's an example

    Generic Shipwreck Fantasy

    The Bermuda Triangle is one of the most enigmatic mysteries of the modern age that has puzzled and confounded scientists for decades where countless numbers of planes and ships have disappeared . Except it isn't and looking up the statistical evidence of this vast stretch of water the numbers of planes and ships that have disappeared in this area is no different from any other vast stretch of open water you care to name . Much of the legend of the triangle is down to Charles Berlitz who wrote a book on the subject and who felt the need to invent " facts " which weren't facts at all hence fiction quickly becomes established fact . Mass media has a hand in propagating myth and a good example would be the missing Malayan passenger flight which is still making leading headlines over two weeks after it went missing as if some supernatural force has taken it . Whatever the cause of the missing plane supernatural phenomena will not have been the cause but the media do enjoy a good mystery . In fact the human race as a whole enjoy mystery so something like the Bermuda Triangle remains part of popular culture which is reflected by the relatively large number of films using the subject as a backdrop and here's another which is sadly one of the most lacklustre ones you will see

    There's a cynical air to calling a film BERMUDA TRIANGLE when the reality is that it's merely a generic shipwreck type story . A family are sailing through the triangle and a solar eclipse causes their boat to sink while transporting them on to a remote island where other survivors live and at this point all internal logic and common sense sinks with the family boat . A US serviceman drives around the island in a second world war era jeep . This mode of transport is petrol driven so obviously this remote island has a oil refinery there somewhere . Either that or the writer hasn't given the slightest piece of thought to what is being written and the film continues in the same thoughtless way . Another irritant is the happy clappy type characters that seem trapped on the island and their insufferable cheerfulness might just be some peoples idea of never ending hell . In fact the whole feel of the film is one of suffocating wish fulfilment and there's little in the way of danger , adventure or excitement so you've got a very boring film . Some people might want to watch it due to an unknown Naomi Watts in a small role but apart from that there's little to recommend this movie

    wholesome family fun

    Great family fun.

    After their boat sinks in a storm a family of four find themselves stranded on a desert isle, with a community of quirky characters including a lovely part for Jerry Hardin as the town mayor. The families biggest problem is the young son who has diabetes and needs insulin, unfortunately its on the boat at the bottom of the sea. He also has a tendency to wander off and makes friends with a native boy and together they have some fun adventures. The daughter isn't left out either and makes friends with and has some truly spectacular scenes playing with dolphins.

    Something to be enjoyed by children young and old.
