I don't know. It starts out on a way smaller boat than I was led to believe and I'm waiting for some sort of Talented Mr. Ripley moment and instead Ghost Ship arrives and it turns into a time loop movie where I'm ever so slowly losing my respect for each and every character and OH MY GOD THERE IS A CORNER OF SALLYS!

An extremely pleasant surprise, a movie that - based on the DVD cover - looked like a trashy horror B-movie, but which actually packs one hell of a metaphysical punch. There's real original thought on offer here, and things never go down the route you might expect them to. More Inception than Friday the 13th. Absolutely worth a shot, even if you think it looks superficially bad.

It starts with a generic 'stranded in the middle of nowhere' slasher setting, then seems to approach 'is it all in her head?' territory, but turned into a surprisingly twisted mix of unexpected weirdness. The conclusion that had to tie everything back to the beginning went on a bit too long though.

This was surprisingly really enjoyable. Sure, it's not the best movie, and it was very reminiscent of Timecrimes, but this was a lot more fun than Timecrimes. There are a lot of things wrong with this movie, but they didn't affect my enjoyment of it.

Good. This is a serious genre blender, a bit of ghost ship horror, some time crimes and a pinch of psycho thrown in for for good measures. And that is what brings it all down. There are just too many half-baked ideas in here and the story is explained just too completely, absolutely no stones unturned, making the film feel much longer than its very standard runtime. But still, its unique enough to warrant a viewing. Recommended.

Clever film concerned with the depths of maternal guilt and desperation. It is a shame that it has a few cheap-looking effects, and that the American accents clash with the obviousness of the fact it was filmed in Australia, and it is possible these weaknesses hurt the film commercially, but it is nevertheless somewhat superior to most of the similarly-structured films with which it has been compared.

It's nowhere nearly as mixed up as most indicate. How the time loops take part is clued in the first run (remember the little chatter about mythology), it of course is not satisfactory, yet I prefer it upon some half assed explanation. Most of the action is shot ambitiously and as a whole I found the movie quite refreshing. My sole problem is the protagonist's motivation which I don't give a damn about.

It's funny, I thought Timecrimes had a one-of-a-kind narrative structure. The marketing for this movie certainly belies its tone; I mean, it's definitely a B-movie in terms of technical production (ugh, that CGI) but I would never guess from that horrible poster (this one: http://imgur.com/sfj7lF0) that this would be anything more than a shitty Ghost Ship-esque slasher, let alone the complex, twisty, compelling, and downright intelligent sci-fi thriller that it is.

With time loop plots being all the rage these days, it might be a good time for audiences to revisit Triangle, which didn't seem to make many waves upon release. It's nothing too great but it's a compact little horror flick that breezes right by with good pacing and a sense of intrigue even if it isn't quite as clever as the premise seems to demand.

It seems unfair that this horror thriller should be so unknown, but then again this just proves that well-made & interesting stories may not make a dent in the public consciousness, while familiar formulas are remembered. I don't want to say much about this that might reveal anything, but I will say that it consistently kept surprising me throughout most of the film. At a certain point, you will figure out where it's going, but in a way perfectly suited to the doom-laden Abandon All Hope premise

to be honest, it has an agonizing first half hour. but then the director takes control. even though it looks like a slasher version of timecrimes, which was much cooler, this is a refreshing flick. has some great shots / moments, but as many others of this kind, sucks in the ending. after all it's fair to say that this is a flawed but successful movie. check out what a morbius band is.

The horror version of Groundhog Day. SPOILER ALERT! At first I also thought the ending made no sense, but actually it is the key to understanding the movie.The reason she decides to go to the harbor and,Sysyphus-like, starts the loop all over again is because she thinks she deserves to suffer, because she feels guilty about the death of her son. But it does remain unexplained at which moment she embarks on the cab (is there a second loop?)and why would she do that knowing that her son would die

Non-sensical, predictable, and therefore, despite its relatively fast pace, somehow pretty dull. I usually love this sort of thing but it was unforgivably dirivative. Oh, and Melissa George is annoying. Watch 'Timecrimes', which it rips off, or one of my favorites, 'Primer', instead.

The movie has good intentions, it really does, but it ultimately fails at wowing us the way it's trying. The premise is sound, but everything's painted with too broad of strokes - I was two or three steps ahead the entire time, which I doubt is what the writers wanted. It doesn't help that it's very similar to Timecrimes and other time-distorting puzzlers. Maybe if I hadn't already seen most of the movies that inspired this, and I was 15 years younger, I'd be impressed.

Hunger Games is to Battle Royale, what Triangle is to Timecrimes. Both writers claim they never saw their foreign counterparts. Surrreeee... Despite that, Triangle adds elements of mental illness, self-realization, and spiritual redemption/damnation. Best performance I've seen from Melissa George, and my first Christopher Smith film -- now I want to see them all. Excellent film.

A film that gave me a strange sense of déjà vu... until I realised that, oh yeah, I've already seen Timecrimes (actually, I preferred this). Even though it isn't wholly original, there are some surprising twists, and it gets bonus points for at least avoiding most of the clichés you see in every other low-budget horror that gets churned out these days.

Points for not being at all what I expected it to be, & for a really solid lead performance courtesy of Melissa George. To be perfectly honest, though, it sort of fell off in the last third for me & I found the ending to be downright silly compared to everything that came before it. While the clear effort that went into the script is super admirable, a few things just don't add up when you actually try to fit the pieces together, which was unfortunate. Still, neat mindfuck that passes the time.

Enjoyable time-loop thriller is a little too self satisfied, seeming to go to great pains to hold itself together and "play fair" (at least on a first viewing). Simple plotting means it soon becomes clear where we are headed, though thankfully the screenplay never tries to literalise or explain the phenomena. Well crafted on a technical level, with a genuinely eerie and unsettling first act; if you love time travel paradox convolutions, this is likely to emerge as an endearing guilty pleasure.

The first half-hour or so was intriguing, but as soon as I hit the fifty-minute mark, I had to start holding back from just plot-skipping to the end. /Spoilers ahead/ By the end of the first loop, everything else was fairly predictable, and even if it wasn't predictable, I wasn't surprised. The idea is clever and the characters seemed interesting enough at the beginning, but the overall execution was lacking.

Ends not being as good as you hope it would be, but I have to at least appreciate Christopher Smith's attempt at making a film with a bit more creativity to it. Reality itself as a foe whose explanation is (for the better) unexplained and shows the worst horrors as it repeats itself. Melissa George, immensely beautiful onscreen but also doing a Herculean task of juggling what's needed for the plot and make it compelling. If only Triangle had really been daring and self-reflective.

My only complaint with this movie is that I found the story to be a bit weak. It basically lets you know right away that something isn't quite right, and if you are like me and try to figure it out, you probably will. It's just a bit too easy to figure this one out, especially if you've already seen similar films, such as Timecrimes.

I quite like it. Whilst it might not always logically connect, this is a time loop we are talking about, the laws of physics are already being buggered. The supporting cast are mostly irrelevant but Melissa George is decent value. Not an unconditional reccomend but there is far worse out there

Structured in such a way that it resembles a mobius strip of maternal guilt. Forcing someone to watch this on a loop for days on end would be an effective method of torture. FTR, this review probably won't make any sense until you watch the movie, but I'm not sure if you should.

Good movie up until the end where it makes no since. ****Spoiler Warning**** This movie doesn't make since. If it's a loop, how does she just forget about her son dying and everything that happened on the ship. She pauses when the young guy asks her about her son at the beginning/end. Suggesting she knew her son was dead and she was about to go into a time loop at the start of the movie. It just makes no since.

not one of the most legendary movies that has graced the theatres; triangle still holds up as a nice watch due to its interesting plot and attractive mythological background choice. the acting is average and the dialogues (as well as certain plot decisions) feel raw; but its appropriate length and strong cinematography keeps it from being drab and tiresome. it's an enjoyable thriller overall.

I'll give it some credit for the story though.

Christopher Smith needs more recognition than he gets. "Triangle" isn't quite as good as "Creep" but it's still a very interesting thriller which throws twist after twist at you.
