38The questions posed by "The Triangle" are fascinating. But the answers are - sometimes literally - a waste of time.
-
60A solid cast and marquee auspices make this effects-heavy exercise watchable enough even when "The Triangle" grows obtuse.
-
60Somewhere within this bloated six-hour miniseries there's a lean, mean four-hour miniseries trying to escape.
-
50The miniseries is an ordinary but not awful piece of science fiction, one you won't hate watching and yet one you shouldn't hate missing.
-
60An entertaining mishmash that uneasily juggles jargony sci-fi theories with elements of military conspiracy, action-adventure, disaster movie and surreal psychological suspense.
-
75Triangle boasts an attractive cast and some clever twists, but it often has to stretch to fill time.
-
30More or less a soggy misfire.
-
63The narrative seems unduly baggy and stretched out, nothing so sharply defined as a triangle. More like a rhomboid. [12 Dec 2005, p.39]
-
0An abysmally dumb plot peopled with some of the most irritating characters in the history of television.
-
50That the story... snakes around a lot, tossing supernatural red herrings in its wake, keeps it oddly compelling, even as it grows increasingly preposterous, not only as regards the supernatural but as to how people really act.
-
40Around 11 p.m. on Wednesday, you'll be asking yourself what the hell happened.
-
40Creepily watchable almost in spite of itself through at least the first two nights, the miniseries embodies a veritable symphony of implausibility.
-
60The plot knots are Gordian, but the writer, Rockne S. O'Bannon, successfully picks them apart. What suffers is the dialogue, which often strains to explain all the science in offhand conversation.
-
Familiar, formulaic fun, but one night too long. [9 Dec 2005, p.81]
-
Amusingly, head-spinningly over-the-top.

JonasK10Really great effects. Fun!

ChrisT5The punchline is not up to supporting the five hours it takes to get to it.
