The Triangle (2001 TV Movie)
1/10
Sunk with All Hands
15 August 2001
Any movie that involves science fiction or any kind of mysticism must have complete accuracy in the parts of the film that use actual history as support of the plot. This film immediately ran into trouble when they referred to the lost British ocean liner as "HMS" Queen of Scots. Any screenwriter capable of selling a script to a major network such as TBS should know that "HMS" refers to British warships. The liner should have been "RMS" for Royal Mail Steamship. Also, they referred to the ship being lost before WWII in "October" of 1939. Hello! WWII began on September 1st, 1939! Aside from those terrible errors the film was a complete bomb. The acting was almost shockingly bad. Luke Perry looked aged and bored. Dan Cortese should have stayed at MTV. The final scene with the liner catching fire and sinking in about 30 seconds was perhaps the worst special effect I've ever seen on TV. 80,000 tons of metal just sinking in 30 seconds. Sure. I still can hardly believe how awful this film was. Man the lifeboats on this one!
