While chasing a whaler, the Greenpeace boat sinks with the vessel, pulled by a mysterious force underwater and only Meeno Paloma survives. Meanwhile, after the disappearance of six ships in the Bermuda Triangle in one year, the millionaire owner of the Mineral Shipping Lines Eric Benerall hires the skeptical journalist of The Observer Howard Thomas; the scientist Bruce Geller; the offshore engineer Emily Patterson and the psychic Stan Lathem to investigate the reasons for the phenomenon in the area. If the team succeeds in their quest for the truth, each one would receive five million dollars. They find a high-tech underwater facility from the Navy, and each one of them has glimpses of alternative reality after their discovery. They conclude that the experiment conducted by the Navy is affecting the electromagnetic balance of the ocean, while trying to find a way to close the dimensional tear opened by the Philadelphia Experiment. But they believe that the procedure actually will open the Pandora Box and destroy the world. With his crews and cargo ships disappearing at an alarming rate around the Bermuda Triangle, a billionaire hires a crew full of specialists to understand why. Hand picked by the man himself, the crew consists of a skeptical journalist, an ocean engineer, a scientist, and a psychic. With an attractive financial offer made to each of them, the crew will investigate the legendary, and very mysterious Bermuda Triangle to find answers. But as their findings deepen, the crew finds themselves surrounded by bizarre occurrences that only become all the more nightmarish. The offers made to them may have seem ideal at the time, but now they may have gotten in over their heads against something they may not understand. The mini-series started very well. I just watched it on DVD for it's four plus hours. I found it entertaining but I found the climax lacking. In the final third of the film, it was difficult to keep the story lines completely straight. I thought I noticed two time line errors, and will have to re-watch it to determine if I reached for the popcorn at the wrong time. When Lou Diamond's character survives and comes home, he is apparently in a different time-band, (hello Stargate SG1) as he makes mention that his truck was blue. In the time-band that he returned to, it is not blue and he now has a younger son, which he never had. In part three, he apparently returns to his original time band, as his wife tells him he has no younger son, but yet is truck is not blue? <br/><br/>In part three, the sexy female lead, (A MUST HAVE IN ALL FILMS) sits down to have dinner with her mother, who she never knew as in her reality, as she was given up for adoption. She learns her real mother's name for the first time. Eric Stoltz's character than somehow manages to reverse time, which would have prevented this mother-daughter exchange from occurring, and they then all work together to save the world. Later, the sexy female lead, still knows her mother's name, which she should not, as she learned it in a time line that did not take place, or only did for Stoltz's character. No one has mentioned these two errors, so it is possible I am incorrect. Overall, a pretty good film, but should have been edited down to a two part series. It seems as if the movie was going on and as the plot got deeper and deeper, the finally realized, "oh we need an ending". We wont really explain anything but it will be one of those movies that deal with time, not like back to the future where it made sense and was understandable, no no, now a movie making sense is just too logical for most movie goers. OK we are going to go into hours of excruciating detail, really only address a small part of that, and when the film in the camera is running low..we will just end it. All the movie began all right which is why it got 4/10 for me, but about halfway they were still digging deeper into minutia, not really making much sense of anything, and the last 15 minutes of the movie appear to have been written while the writer was sitting on a toilet seat, is was just so ramshackle,
