Dorathen Better Late Then Never
Suman Roberson It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.
Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
kdot-82731 Smart, thrilling, tragic. Triangle is one of the best films I have ever seen.
synthblipchaos A well written screenplay with plot twists. Psychological thriller with some slasher horror mixed in. Some mind bender nonlinear chronology (flashbacks) makes it a well orchestrated low budget psychological thriller horror. I can tell a cheesy horror pretty quick and this isn't bad. It's got quality original storyline that keeps you into the movie. Sort of had a "The Shining" feel an times, but at sea. Did anyone else notice the room number of the cabin they checked for people when they first boarded the ship. Room 237... yeah.
The Movie Diorama Unusual marketing this, targeting horror audiences and claiming to be frightening. Please do not make the mistake of going into this presuming you will be scared...you won't be. What we are presented with is a mystery thriller that intelligently utilises a gimmick and Greek mythology to convey a subtle metaphor. A single mother with an autistic son joins a group of friends on a boating trip. A vicious storm forces them to abandon their yacht and board a seemingly derelict ocean liner titled Aeolus, convinced that an ominous individual is stalking them. Those of you into their Greek myths (like me) saw the name Aeolus and conjured up an inkling as to where the plot was heading. Others well, let me warn you, this film will leave you head scratching until you have no hair left. Let's get the basics out of the way first. Melissa George was fantastic portraying multiple incarnations of herself, Smith's direction evoked claustrophobia and isolation and the plot itself was carefully constructed. I have to admire the sheer ingenuity and meticulous plotting involved in crafting such a complex narrative. Despite an utterly watchable thriller, I have problems with this film. As a "plot hound" I couldn't help but sniff out numerous plot holes that unfortunately detract from what is a succinct narrative. It poses so many questions, for instance, "Who is putting objects such as the axe back in its original position?". I understand the purpose of the gimmick, it metaphorically portrays the frustrating routinely basis of dealing with an autistic child. When even trying to disrupt an iteration results in more damage, but the entire plot construct felt too illogical that it left me scribbling a timeline on a notepad instead of enjoying what is being shown onscreen. Then the third act tries to explain itself and becomes all too convoluted, I did appreciate the ambiguous ending though. Triangle is a film that will stir up discussion amongst your friends, just make sure to bring a notepad with you.
asimtrax I have watched a lot of mind bending movies but for me this is one of my best movie. I bet if people don't like this movie, then they haven't fully understood it.!
