Go in cold, and you're likely to emerge with your blood boiling. This has to be seen to be believed.

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

You'd think if a ship went missing in the Bermuda Triangle for 25 years, and mysteriously reappeared with near everything intact minus the people they'd be more global interest than from a crappy, cheap cable show, but never mind. Our intrepid explorers, complete with the son of two of the original passengers and a salvage crew board the long-lost frigate... and promptly start dying one after the other in 'strange' circumstances. Could the cause be something to do with the supernatural? My guess is: YES.Watching this is akin to drinking Diet Coke: It quenches your thirst, but has absolutely no distinction and doesn't leave any impression whatsoever. There are some reasonable special effects, no-one is so irritating you want them to perish immediately and I couldn't detect any daft decisions made... which is unusual in this genre. It's just you want MORE than mere competency, a fact hammered home by the lack of anything resembling a climax. The film is content to sit there... wallowing in it's own mediocrity... with the predictable couple surviving and barely any fireworks throughout. Not even a damp sparkler.Some may be content with this. I wasn't. 4/10

First off, I know the film was made over 10 years ago, but it was really nice FINALLY seeing Judd Nelson actually IN the whole film! For the last several years pretty much all he's been doing are these drive-by scenes (quite literally in 'THE CARETAKER' - He never even gets out of the car...) And since I really DO like him and desperately wish with all my heart that he were in more and better films, it was kinda nice to see him as a central part of this movie (Oh, how I long for the days of 'FROM THE HIP', 'RELENTLESS', & 'CABIN BY THE LAKE')Also, it was great to see good ol' Lance Henriksen (kind of the same thing as Judd Nelson) It was nice too seeing him throughout the movie as a main guy. I also really liked the supporting roles of the guys employed by the Captain; they both have played similar roles in television and other films that fit those kind of characters very well and are a lot of fun.Now, to the film itself... Okay, this DEFINITELY is not rocket science by any stretch of the imagination. BUT... And it is a very BIG BUT like Mariah Carey's... I was quite impressed with the overall atmosphere, pacing, and look of the film. The exterior shots of the helicopter and the ship are quite nice; which then is unfortunately balanced out by the extremely silly CG toward the end (not giving anything away, but you WILL have to take the ending visuals with about a pound of salt...) And, to be honest, not a whole hell of a lot really happens or is explained (Uh, kinda like the CG I was talking about at the end; it's like, 'HUH...???!') But again, for just a fun and somewhat scary ride, it's an enjoyable film, definitely worth more than the 4.x it has now.This is NOT a work of art here. But, if you are not terribly demanding and you kinda like the haunted ship / Bermuda Triangle kind of thing, then you should have some fun with it. (Now, just a strong plug here for those of you who particularly DO like those kind of stories. You absolutely HAVE to see the movie 'TRIANGLE'!!! FAR more weighty and clever than this film, it is probably one of the very best of it's kind, especially if you also like your mind heavily and mercilessly screwed with : )

Not a horrible movie, just not a really good one. The storyline is just like "Event Horizon"; ship disappears, reappears years later, is basically haunted, kills a bunch of people, and disappears again leaving only a couple survivors behind. The set design was good, the CGI was OK for low budget, and the acting was alright but a bit overdone. A few elements from "Ghost Ship" were in there. There were a few unanswered questions and a few plot holes. It was pretty predictable on what was going to happen through most of the movie. The ending was alright, kinda creepy, but left you expecting more. All in all, if it's late at night and nothing else is on it's a decent time filler.

I rented this unsure of what to expect and was pleasantly surprised. The movie flows well enough and has enough creep factor to satisfy a small craving. The basic premise involves a young man named Aaron whose father and step-mother disappeared in the Bermuda Triangle. When the ship suddenly reappears twenty-five years later, Aaron is intrigued as to what happened and ventures out to the Triangle to investigate. Lance Henricksen and Judd Nelson are standouts in the movie and are quite good. The rest of the cast are unexceptional and competent at best. My only real gripe with the movie is with the big ending scene. It's over-the-top and a case of a good idea with poor execution. Overall, not bad, but I really only recommend it for those without really high expectations that are only looking for a little mindless creepiness.
