Bryan Singer and Dean Devlin produce this television miniseries set in the mysterious realm of the Bermuda Triangle. When billionaire industrialist Eric Benirall (Sam Neill) starts losing expensive cargo ships in the area, he demands to know the truth. Assembling a team of experts, including sceptical reporter Howard Thomas (Eric Stoltz), ocean engineer Emily Patterson (Catherine Bell), pyschic Stan Lathem (Bruce Davison), and scientist Bruce Geller (Michael E. Rodgers), Benirall dispatches them to the ill-fated Bermuda Triangle to get to the bottom of the disappearances. When they are beset by increasingly bizarre and terrifying occurances, they start to believe they are dealing with something beyond human comprehension. But why is Benirall really so determined to find out the truth? And could the source of these bizarre events be connected to a US Navy experiment back in 1943? As the team race to solve the mystery, they are forced to change all their ideas about the nature of reality itself, and realise at the last minute that these events could spell disaster for the entire world.

Yeah, definitely a bearable three-part TV movie. True, I would expect a little more from a project produced by Bryan Singer than a script that gets worse with each episode, effects at the level of a National Geographic documentary, and routine directing by Craig R. Baxley. The fact is that after an excellent introduction, the story became entangled in an unnecessary conspiratorial complications, which culminated in a forced conclusion without taste and smell. I willingly finished watching it, because the acting was good and there were a few nicely filmed moments. But I can't shake the felling that a simpler script and smarter directing would work much better for a project with these ambitions. However, compared to what commercial television normally spews out, this really is quite bearable.
