The Shasta Triangle

They must have paid the cast and crew a bonus to post glowing reviews on this pile of **** movie,most of the reviewers are one time posters just for this movie which immediately tells you just how bad it is. The acting,whilst not the worst I've seen,is awful,the only convincing thing about it is how these girls fall apart repeatedly in a crisis and resort to being nasty to each other,strong female leads they are not contrary to the fake reviewers suggestions that they are,with friends like these you don't need enemies,the camera work is shoddy and looks like a shaky twelve year old is holding his phone up to film,the story line is pathetic,doesn't hold up and just all over the place until eventually the film just goes..well....nowhere,that's right,it just ends,no real explanations for anything or anyone,it just ends,it was just an awful movie from start to finish and I really struggled to get trough to the end in order to write a real review.

I was looking for a film about a bunch of folks whose boats gets in trouble so they get rescued then wwird stuff happens.

It was called The Triangle. JUST the Triangle. Was supposed to be on Prime but wasnt. Often I say to the voice command Triangle on Prime?/tubi/Netflix and often I find it hidden on ANOTHER streaming service. But once this started playing I got interested in the ideas being discussed. This is not a horror film in ANY sense but its a decent low budget science fiction independent piece that managed to keep me interested through to the end.

Its not got any practical or even 'special' effects. So all the suspense is derived from the dialogue and the good acting in this almost all female cast. Of course there's a whole beginning middle & end but the first was the weakest.

The women have different motives & know each other but generally they are trying to find out where/why the scientict father of the main character ended up; but left some perplexing yet hard to ignore journals and tests that suggest he isn't so much as dead but just missing. For a cheap time/ space /travel/ multiverse paradox movie its really not bad. The acting and story did all the work. More money and maybe more effects would have made more folks have access to this, but they did well with what they had. NOW I gotta find The Triangle which despite the youtube Pirate's insistance, IS NOT ON PRIME. THIS was on Tubi. Kinda started without me selecting it! LOL.

I found the concept of this film to be very interesting, and despite some reviews on vfx, for it being what I assume is a micro budget indie with a sub $250k budget, they're pretty good. The camera work was really beautiful, especially the drone shots which provide an expansive feeling to the forest setting. I'd like to see what could be done with this story on a budget it deserves, and see how the character development could also expand in that arena, as I was hungry to understand the father-daughter dynamic more than the friendships between the primary and secondary characters. I feel that with a longer story and runtime aligned with most features (perhaps 90 minutes), some key plot points could have been further clarified and developed. Overall, I think it was a great microbudget effort and could see this on SyFy.

** Edit After I wrote my review a whole spate of positive 9s and 10s came through all at once. Fake!!!

This has to be one of the most convoluted stories in any film.

The script, development of the story and the VFX are dire.

The acting is generally ok. but not all, some stinkers too.

You won't feel like you've missed anything if you give this a pass.

I never wrote a review but just had too take a bit of time to warn potential watchers. I watched this movie based on reviews here. Bad move!! More than 40 minutes of this movie is pointless talk between the actors and a lot of bitching. Not a great idea to cast only women to see them behave like teenagers. Woman deserve more! As for the acting, it's less than so so... The cinematography is bad. The plot takes totally illogical turns in the last 10 minutes. Their are critical pieces of the puzzle that are never addressed. The story telling is bad!! I give it one star for the concept. This movie could have been sooooo much more, even on a low budget.
