The Devil's Triangle (2021) - Made for TV at best

Hmm, where to begin... 'The Devil's Triangle' is about a passenger plane that gets shot down over the Bermuda Triangle and ends up in Atlantis, only to find that those who dwell below sea levels have sinister plans for us 'land dwellers.'

Not an awful plot for a run-of-the-mill sci-fi TV show, but it's a - relatively - short film which never really lives up to its lofty ideals.  For a start, you have the cast.  There are no big name actors and, although some are okay (at best!), it seems that most of the Atlantis residents are some of the worst actors available.  I feel bad for saying that, as, given a better script, they may be okay on screen.  However, the script - especially for the bad guys - is just terrible and full of cliches - so much so it's like they actually speak fluent 'bad guy.'

The special effects are random action scenes which look quite good - for a Playstation 4 cut-scene.  But they never really have any effect on the story, as they're mainly flashbacks.  Put simply, there are no real special effects involving the characters and the sets look like they're from a daytime soap with blue lighting.

I could have put up all that, but the bad guys are just too dumb to be taken seriously.  They show potential enemies round their facility and teach them how two effectively destroy their empire at the touch of a button (and then leave all major control panels completely unguarded for the humans to do just that!).

Overall, it hasn't really got that much going for it.  It tries, but it doesn't have the budget or script to make it worth your time.
