'Quirky' I said in the title, and 'Quirky' I meant. There's no other way I can think of to put it. That's what happens, apparently, when you pair Dean Devlin ('Independence Day,' 'Stargate') as the story writer together with Rockne O'Bannon ('Farscape,' 'Alien Nation: The Udara Legacy') doing the teleplay (the television equivalent of a screenplay). The series first aired on the SciFi Network back in 2006, and it was quickly released to DVD as well. WARNING: SPOILERS TO FOLLOW. The main storyline is based on the idea that when the Navy did the now-infamous "Philadelphia Experiment" back in the 40's, they opened an unstable temporospatial rift in the region known as the Bermuda Triangle, a rift that gobbles up everything from Zodiac rafts to ocean liners to airliners. The one thing that the leading characters in the series have in common is that they've all lost someone or something to the Triangle over the years. THE GOOD: The SFX are pretty darn good. One of the effects of the rift's instability is that Reality As We Know It keeps changing at random intervals, and one of the examples of such changes is watching Florida's Seven-Mile Bridge be perfectly solid one moment -- and then vanishing one segment at a time the next, thus dumping a number of vehicles into the Gulf of Mexico. And then it's back again a few minutes later. Not good enough? How about the city of Miami suddenly changing, very subtly, around you, so subtly that you don't notice right away that anything's amiss. Until, that is, a cop starts bearing down on you, gun out and screaming for you to get on the ground, just because you have an Australian accent. However, my view is that the producers saved the best FX for the ending. I'm not going to give it away. You'll just have to watch it for yourself. ;-) THE BAD: This is a show that you have to pay CLOSE ATTENTION to, and I mean close. The continuity is not the best I've ever seen, and the way they do the reality shifts can be a bit disorienting. Also, the show drags in a few places. Overall, though, I'd say this is well worth watching. It's the type of show where you may, on a repeat showing, spot details you missed the first time through. Enjoy!Read full review
One of the best thriller movies of its time. Great quality and good sound and great price too. A must for your movie collection. Try it out for yourself.

The movie starting out is fantastic but the ending on part 1 was not good not knowing there was three parts when finding out watch part 2 it was okay then moved on to part 3 the ending was horrible made no sense you could tell that they were trying to start a series off of it and did not prevail. The movie is intense and it's good but the endings are very disappointing.
