Les Naufragés des Bermudes

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.

Many may have only started to notice about Naomi Watts (like me) after her success in movies like 'The Ring', but this is one of her earlier ones.

The Everman family from New York were having a holiday in the Caribbean before they were being whisked off to somewhere else. To kind of admit, I did not really able to follow the plot at times but then looking at how like dolphins can really communicate with the human beings on the island the family got whisked off to after they were at the Bermuda Triangle, it's kind of a little surreal at times.

But you like a nice family-themed kind of movie with some adventure in between, then maybe this one is for you.

My final say is like what I had stated in the summary of this review.

Stupidity on stupidity, fantasy that makes zero sense, just toss every cliche into a bucket and stir. Isn't there any desire in Hollywood to be correct about anything? "There are no volcanoes in this part of the Caribbean," says the dialog, though the characters are midway between Montserrat and St. Kitts. Lmao. There was an internet by 1996, so that could have been looked up but you'd think they'd notice that half an island blew to smithereens while they wrote this travesty. Lazy lazy writing. Read a book from time to time, writers.

"No nudity!" says another review, and that's about the best thing going for this smarmy, cloying, nonsensical, inaccurate, pap. Oh, and my kid comes within six inches of killing me with a blow gun "by accident?" I'm tossing that brat off the boat before he grows up and learns about guns. Smh.

This is one of the most extraordinary movies I have ever seen.

The poor rating only shows that not too many people have had the opportunity to enjoy the Bermuda Triangle. The acting is excellent, as well as the direction, the photography, etc. Many other movies have been based on this topic but, in my honest opinion, this is the best. I'm wondering why this movie is so difficult, almost impossible, to obtain. I have tried amazon.com and critics choice video and neither one of them has it at this moment. It happens that many mediocre movies are available in both VHS and DVD and ironically movies like this are completely ignored. I strongly recommend the Bermuda Triangle if you ever have the opportunity to see it.

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!
