    A decent miniseries but the comment about having to fill time is correct as it got a bit bogged in places. The entire subplot with Lou Diamond Phillips was a bit of a bore and could have been cut.

    Very surprised at all the bad reviews! I thought the acting was great, the plot interesting and through day two well interconnected. There are quite a few twists that keep you guessing. The effects are pretty good for TV. Overall one of the best sci-fi made for tv miniseries I have seen.

    A very well made show, awe-inspired, some of the Science was flawed a tiny bit but overall very intelligent.

    It's truly amazing how many people who are employed by the press haven't got a clue what they are reviewing. This mini-series embraces a variety of the theories out there about the Bermuda Triangle and ties them together quite well. I was surprised to see the Columbus tie-in since most people don't know that his sighting are in reality a part of historical record. I think the press should have to do their homework about the subject material before they are allowed to make a comment or a review.… Expand

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

    Familiar, formulaic fun, but one night too long. [9 Dec 2005, p.81]

    Creepily watchable almost in spite of itself through at least the first two nights, the miniseries embodies a veritable symphony of implausibility.

    That 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.
