December 5, 2005, the 60th anniversary of the disappearance of Flight
19, a legendary squadron of Navy Avenger Torpedo Bombers that were on a training
flight over the Bermuda Triangle marked the premiere of the SCI FI Channel’s
miniseries event “The Triangle,” which was executive produced by Bryan
Singer (X-Men) and Dean Devlin (Independence Day) and features a teleplay
written by Rockne S. O’Bannon (Farscape) and was directed by Craig R. Baxley
(Stephen King’s Storm Of The Century). The cast features Eric Stoltz (The Fly
II), Catherine Bell (JAG), Bruce Davison (The Lathe Of Heaven), Michael Rodgers
(Auto Focus), Lou Diamond Phillips (The Outer Limits: The New Series), and Sam
Neill (The Omen III: The Final Conflict). Collectively this is a cast and crew
of heavy hitters on a SCI FI dream team because everyone involved in this
terrific production is at the top of their game in a story that begins in 1492
with the voyage of Christopher Columbus and quickly jumps ahead to the present
with a mystery that will have viewers guessing what is the secret to the Bermuda
Triangle long after they have seen the entire program. The story has four
diverse experts (Eric Stoltz, Catherine Bell, Bruce Davison, and Michael
Rodgers) being hired by a billionaire industrialist (Sam Neill) to unlock the
secret behind the Bermuda Triangle. For their trouble they each will receive 5
million dollars, but they must yield true results to earn the money. In a
subplot there is a Green Peace Activist (Lou Diamond Phillips) that is the sole
survivor of a lost crusade that claimed the lives of his fellow crewmembers and
a complete whaling vessel they were trying to block. Experiencing spatial time
anomalies is only the beginning of the peculiar events that involve all the
characters with allusions to quantum mechanics and folklore being possible
culprits behind the events leading to the mystery of the Bermuda Triangle. What
is happening? Find out now by checking out “The Triangle” on DVD courtesy of

Lionsgate
presents “The Triangle” on DVD with the first two installments on disc one
and the third installment and bonus features on the second disc. The picture
quality is good, but a bit muddled at times with certain scenes appearing
unusually dark as well as a bit of video noise appearing here and there
throughout the program as well. “The Triangle” is presented with a (1.78:1)
aspect ratio enhanced for 16 by 9 televisions along with a choice of well mixed
English Dolby Digital 5.1 and English Dolby Surround Soundtracks as well as
English Closed Captions for the hearing impaired and English and Spanish
Language Subtitles encoded onto both dual layered discs as an option.
The
bonus features are sparse. The promotional SCI FI Channel documentary (21:32) is
included featuring the expected cast and crew interview clips one expects from
this sort of thing, which is a shame because SCI FI aired an interesting
documentary entitled “The Bermuda Triangle: Startling New Secrets” that was
hosted by NBC/MSNBC Anchor Lester Holt and gave viewers a lot of the background
into the incidents that the miniseries “The Triangle” incorporated into the
storyline. If anything both documentaries should have been included though the
video rights for the one hosted by Lester Holt may not have been available.
Reels
of trailers that include “Crash: 2 – Disc Director’s Cut Edition” and
“Weeds” (2:50) as well as “House Of The Dead 2” and “Attack Of The
Sabertooth” (1:12) and SCI FI Channel promos for “Eureka” and
“Battlestar Galactica” (1:05) wrap-up the extra features included within the
DVD set. The main menus on both discs are animated with motion transitions to
standard interactive still frames that are easy to navigate. The DVD packaging
features a holographic a sleeve over a single size two-disc DVD keep case.
“The Triangle: Widescreen 2 – Disc Set” will debut on DVD-Video at
retailers on and offline courtesy of Lionsgate on Tuesday, March 28, 2006.
